1. No. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. I tried again from scratch, with 1 cube, loaded the 1st texture, saved it, created a 2nd cube, loaded the second texture - left the mat lab - it didn't crash!!! Saved it as fast as possible! Fainted with surprise... Put the same image in bump for 1 cube - saved - still didn't crash! Did the same for cube 2 - saved, still didn't crash. Now all this is fine and dandy if all you want to do is play with 2 cubes - but what if you want to add image textures to a spaceship, made with lots of this and that, with lots of things in the scene - how are you supposed to manage?
