Here's something fun to do: create a direct code texture called
'variables' or whatever as the first material in a Moray scene,
and use it to store #declare statements for variables you want
to use among more than one material.

You mean other direct code materials?

Oh yes, only the selected material is exported for preview.
It could be interesting to have a 'slightly' modified material editor which
could invoque named material items in following materials -isn't it Lutz?-
:c)
That way, we could define one pigment(for example) and use it in several
textures as a reference.
