Naming materials

I saw that there is a very old (2005) thread about being able to name materials. I really would like to see this feature implemented because having to deal with synthetic names in other apps (e.g. Vue) is not my idea of confortable workflow

.

I read on that post that file format changes were required but if I save an .ac file with 6.2 I see lines like

MATERIAL "ac3dmat0" rgb 0 0 0 amb 0.2 0.2 0.2 emis 0 0 0 spec 0.2 0.2 0.2 shi 128 trans 0

which seems perfectly ok for custom names (MyGreatBlack instead of ac3dmat0)... am I missing something?

Bye!!!
