[Bf-funboard] Materials

[Konrad Haenel]

I really wonder what's wrong with simply using any .blend-file as your 
personal storage for materials. All you have to do than is append some 
material from that file to your current scene. How much easier could it 
become? You can even make little cute scenes which show off the 
materials on some spheres for quick reference (I do that, it's very 
helpful).
