CGTalk - Odd bug in Max 5.1

I've noticed an odd thing.

If you have Max 5.1 open and you drag your file from explorer into the window, it opens the file as normal, but all your materials disappear from the editor!

They're still there, in the material browser, but all the materials in the material editor have gone back to default grey!:surprised

I don't particularly care, but I just thought it was interesting! It may be irritating for some.:)

hmm...hmmm....It worked for me.
Are you sure you didn't choose merge on the menu?
:wavey:

Nope, it was a straight drag drop from explorer, not the asset browser. The file cam up correctly, just no materials.
