Thanks a ton, David. Just install this script on Maya 2012 and it works like a charm and help greatly on efficiency for my scene.

Your timing is impecable and this script indispensable. I had the 2009 version running on 2010 no problem. The new script worked perfectly on 2011.

Very nice to not be constantly updating little balls that give me little to no information.

Thanks MSK for asking the update question and thanks David for your ingenuity.

I'd forgotten about this one - until now!
I've just added it to the rar file. The bitmaps need to be .png for 2012 (and these are also in the rar).

Hi anyheart, the version you tried is only for maya2008. I have now added a 2009 version to the download which should work ok.

WOW, thanks a lot man! This update is a life saver for us!
I tried finding the command that trigger the swatch refresh some time ago but couldn't find anything.

Your script modification is perfect!

Thanks for this great contribution!

Thanks David this is great.

We have experienced this problem as well. It really does not help that the mia hardware swatch does not obey the texture node load state (ie if you set a texture to not load in the the texture node because you know it is very large and will slow hypershade down). This is a bug that I have already posted with Autodesk, but had no answer on. This is a great work around though. thanks.
