Material Library, functionality and presets

It would be nice to have a material overview showing all of them and some fast operations like duplicate, assign to selected objects, select objects using this material and so on.

I know you can assign a material to all but it's just a bit cumbersome tbh. In the image below (max) you can shift drag to copy a material and change values in the right pane switching fast between materials. Like a painter it is a nce feeling having all your mats on one panel if that makes sense.

Also you can rightclick and assign a material to any and all objects or faces selected.

Next to that i would absolutely add material presets for the most comon ones like plastic, carpaint, metal, glass, wood and stone/concrete. Also some more advanced ones with edge wear, stained glass, subsurf and things like that would rock.

I'm not sure if this counts for everyone but for me a 3D tool is al about speed and efficiency. Doing repeated tasks every time takes away time to be creative towards the end result.

Cheers all.
