I really wish it used the newer file dialog....the one that has History.
I’d also love it to take me to the last place I opened a material library and what file type I was opening.

I often go searching in old scene files for a material I created but have to change the file type and browse through my entire folder structure every time just to get to each .max file.

Not much has changed in the material editor the last 10 years in 3ds max :-(
Material Editor is one of those things that has been begging for a complete overhaul for years but only gets minor tweaks.
If I would make a video (and post on youtube) of how incredibly slow the material editor can become when you have a complex scene with many multisub material it would make you wanna go and kill yourself to ease the pain ;-) So I won’t… It will save many lives ;-)
