When you are in the material and texture editors. On the bottom righthand corner of the preview window, click the small triangle. From the menu list choose "view actual selection", I believe you cna only view it as a sphere or you acyual selected object your working on. You can also choose to view it close up or normal. I hope this helped. kaom
If I understand your question, you want to change the way it's shown in the already-saved view on the right. As far as I know, the only way to do that is to apply it to an object, go back into the mat library and save it with the new view, and then delete the old one. Paininnabutt, but I think that's the only way to change the one on the right, as that image is saved with the mat, obj, sky or whatever at the time it's added to the library. I've had the same thing happen, and now when I add something to a library, I usually try to fix the preview thumbnail right off so I won't have the problem.
I think there is a way to change the existing thumbnail. I think Steve Lareau figured it out but I can't find the message anywhere. Something about setting the preview to the shape you want and then a combination of keys while clicking on a thumbnail and it will change. No guarantees but worth experimenting with! Spit
For anyone that has this question in the future, finally found the keystroke command for resetting your preset picture: have the shape you want it picked, click on texture in the windows on the right. Let it render then click cntl-shift at the same time. Your Preview now changed. Shame ive done about 1000 textures the hard way before finding this. It wont help you though if you moving to category folders, that still manual.

Ive put up for a a long time how you can change from sphere to cube etc. How though, do you change the defaults on the right, some terrain are terrain but others have defaulted to sphere. How do i go about changing these to the ones i want?
