I'll release another script

You don't use Slate so you don't need "drop to slate" :) resize in DropToSlate is bonus functionality. This script has important part which waits for Slate opening. This event will never be triggered in your case. This could be a problem.

Anyway, I'll release separate similar script for resize bitmaps based on selected object or selected material in basic editor. It should not be a part of DropToSlate.

I work with the standard

I work with the standard material editor so i think it would be a useful feature to also have as a script - for example for maps with non square shapes the ability to map ir proportionally if that makes sense.

resize

This option gets selected map nodes from Slate to change their real-world size. What do you want to resize if Slate is closed?

QUESTION

Does the Size presets in any units only work in slate or can it be dockable within a toolbar?
