Wishlist: InputTexmap expose and edit

Two wishes…

Expose the map so users can chose a new map without opening the editor/blop and finding the InputTexmap.
Button in InputTexmap that opens the map in the material editor or library.

Code is in Genome / Ember already, so it should be very easy to copy over to KMX.
“Put to MEdit” does not do what you want?

Oh, cool. Thanks.

Eventually we should have a “put to medit” type function that works with SME.

v = sme.getview 1 --need to find the active view
tx = checker() --the magmaflow texmap
pt = [0,0] -- would be good find the point in the center of the current view

v.createnode tx &pt -- but check to see if it already exists.

Not sure I want to put it in the view - pressing the Put To MEdit shows it in the Sample Slots of the SME, it is up to you to drag wherever you want it.
But then again I have never used SME and probably never will, so if the users want this, I guess we could add it…
