    I have a large number of scenes, broken into groups of scenes that use the same material. For example, here are some palettes:

    One thing I do more often than I'd like is to open a different scene, start assigning materials to some PB objects, and then later notice I was on the wrong palette.

    Given that PB already stores various stateful data within the Scene itself (such as selected vertices) I wondered how feasible it would be to persist the materialPalettePath in the scene as well? That way, upon opening a scene, it would switch to the palette I last used in the scene (which, in my case, will tend to be the palette designed for that scene.) I realize this behavior wouldn't be right for everyone, so it would need to be optional.
