In previous versions, when I open the material editor, it automatically went to the active material. In the 3.4 preview versions (And I think it was happening in 3.3 as well) the material editor has no selected material when I open it, so every. single. time. I have to either switch to the picker and re-select the material, or browse the material list in order to select the material I want. Can you please restore the previous behavior, this is annoying.

Thanks for the info andybot , I realized that as well. Allow me to look into this again, I should be back with some further news soon.

still not fixed in 3.5 preivew 1
*partially fixed actually - the picker is working now. The Enscape material window is still blank when it's first opened (even if a material is selected in Sketchup.) but at least it changes to the correct material when using the Sketchup material dropper/picker tool.

The Enscape material window still doesn't sync with the sketchup material selection on opening. (3.5 preview 9)

Hi !
I don't see the reason why this material auto-selection has been removed. This doesn't go with convenience or time saving.
This is even more annoying on large scale projects. With my designers team, we notice that in the end, all of these useless extra clicks to select materials really created a consequent waste of time.
I really hope they can fix it back.
Or at least, give the users the possibility to fix it by ourselves.
