How to change materials listed in dropdown box?

How to change materials listed in dropdown box?

(OP)
So I've been trying to figure this out for a while to no avail. Is it possible to change which materials are shown in the quick dropdown box when you're applying a material to a part? This would save a lot of time for me if i could add my 10 or so most used materials to this box instead of having to go in and hit edit material and scroll through the big lists every time.



Thanks in advance to anyone that knows how to do this!

I need to learn how to edit posts if it's possible, but for now this will have to do. Original image link didn't work.

Well, I just solved my own problem. For anyone that's curious, it's blindly simple and I'm punching myself for not figuring this out earlier. You add materials to the favorites list by right clicking on the material in the feature tree of your part then selecting the "manage favorites" option - shocker.

Use the Preview when posting... if you get an "X" in the preview, that means your image upload didn't work.
