Max 2010 - Bitmap Reload Bug?

leechdemon

For some reason the "Reload" button in my material editor isn't finding the new images. I'm making changes in photoshop, saving them out, and Max doesn't see the change until I relaunch.

Is there a way to fix this? Having to reload every 20 minutes is REALLY obnoxious.

yuo just got to reload the texture map manually ie traverse the directory where your texture is. its really annoying.I only have this problem with dx materials though

i have it too, but only sometimes, happens with all sorts of materials....
and with 2009

only workaround i know is to click on the bitmap name and then "open" it once again from the material editor

For some reason, that's not working either. By "reopening", you mean selecting the bitmap's target map, selecting it in the file browser and hitting "Open", as if you were giving it a new target?

That doesn't work, and niether does actually selecting a new image, then selecting the first one. Once I get "stuck", all maps hold their current state until I relaunch Max. I believe even a "Reset" won't fix this.
