Benboom, the library in PoserPro 2010 can be a bit fiddly sometimes - I've made the sort of mistake you mention above countless times.

It's worth stressing that you can only save mt5 or mc6 files from the Material Room, unlike figures, poses, hair and all the rest that you can save from the Pose Room - the pic shows the differences in the library window.

The [ - ] button shows because I have a material selected in the library. The [ + ] button is there because I've selected the material to be saved.
