The reason is that merely selecting a shader name in the Media Browser doesn't do anything, especially not copying that shader into the ShaderClipboard, which is required for the shader being applicable by Ctrl-Alt-MMB. The ShaderClipboard is the source of reference for MMB actions, not the Media Browser. I could think of emitting an error if the ShaderClipboard is empty and the mapper tries to paste shaders. Would this help to avoid confusion? |

Is it not possible (or not a good idea) to copy the selected texture in the Media tab to the ShaderClipboard, to alleviate the problem? Maybe that's too slow or taxing an operation? This isn't a 'huge' problem, for sure, very small in fact, but I foresee people hitting it frequently. |

I think it is possible to save the shadername into the ShaderClipboard. I will have to take sure that a simple shader without source object doesn't cause any weird stuff, but I'll look into it. |

Resolved. Selecting a shader in the media browser copies the shader into the clipboard so that it can be used for MMB texturing. |
