One thing that would be really cool for those that knows enough the Material room to be more or less at ease: the possibility to set a node as global.
Which means that we could add not only a new node from the actual library, with fresh (default) values but one that is already setup anywhere in the currently opened Poser project.
Changing anything in a globally defined node reflects the change everywhere.
Trivial examples:

- a cloth that have quite a few parts (changing any parameters in one shot)
- the same multipart cloth: controlling the transparency to make it disappear in a video, while progressively replacing it by another one
- controlling PICK-based environments (texture, color, or whatever)
- many old characters are multi-parts, so that globally defined bitmap nodes could be used to update twins or triplets in one shot

Yes the concept of a "Meta-node" could be really useful. How to implement it so it actually makes things easier ... that's the hard part. It gets ridiculously complex really fast.
