Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If the project has many textures then not easy to select the texture in the texture select widget so the Mundus shows only the name of the textures.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think it would be better if the Mundus shows the texture also with the name of texture. But what solution would be the best one?

  1. Show name in texture like in Assets widget
    sol1

  2. Show like a list
    sol2

Or something like else? What do you think?

I would go with option 1, if you can reuse the same widget (AssetItem) the dock uses. That way if we update the widget (like thumbnails for materials and models in the future) it updates in both places. Would have to split the UI stuff from the dock bar specific stuff in AssetItem. Mainly just the click listener. Probably have a base AssetItem class that purely handles UI, and then extended versions for different use cases

I experimented with creating thumbnails for models and materials but didn't finish that up, but we definitely need it because when you have alot of materials it becomes difficult to navigate so Material and Model thumbnails can be a down the road thing.

I would like to work on this if you don´t mind.
