Now that I'm home and have tested it I can say it works like it's supposed to. I'm on version 12.0.471 which I believe is the latest. Here's how I tested it:

1. Brought in default La Femme - in the material room selected her head and created a new layer. Assigned a color to it and applied a transparency map. Then I selected all nodes used and saved it as an .mt5.
2. Created a new file and brought in La Femme again but this time I applied the Anuli texture on her first. Then back in the material room I added a new layer and applied my .mt5 that I had previously saved. The only affected layer was the new one. When rendered I could see Anuli's texture below my layer so I'm sure it didn't save the material information from La Femme's default texture map or else it would have changed.

By the way there is no mc5. It's either .mt5 which is a single material or an .mc6 which saves everything as a material collection. Is this what you had checked when saving?

I tried the mt5, but hadn't the "selected nodes only" checked. Sometimes you need someone else to point out the obvious. Thank you very much - it's working now.
