Please bring back lost v6 functionality

[Karin]

Please bring back the option to load one material into another.
And the random transfom tool.
And the way light groups work with all kind of lights.

The random transform tool was a 3rd party plugin, was it not?

[Karin]

Don't remember. It's probably around ten years since I got it. (I use it more or less on a daily basis with v6)

I was wrong,  it was a script by ADS.

 

Oh, drool over the cool and yet very necessary little ditties that can be created with scripting....

I wrote a similar script that randomly transformed materials/maps.  I want to be able to use it again.

I concur!   

 

Please bring back the 'Copy From...' feature in materials!  It would also be nice if the Material parameters dialog could close as it did in v6.  The palette approach here is unnecessary, and adds to the cluttered UI.
