Bug: Material Editor...

... cannot differentiate between .png and .jpg textures.
ie: When I export a mesh as Collada, if there are two texture with the same name but different formats (ie. jpg, png), the Material Editor only loads the texture0.jpg. The texture0.png seems to be completely ignored. I even tried to add it manually in the Diffuse field of the Material Editor, but cannot be loaded at all, unless I modify the name to something else.

There are 2 textures. One for each material.
It's the Material Editor that doesn't pick up the difference.

They are defined as they should be: texture0.png and texture0.jpg.There are 2 textures. One for each material.

Torque references textures by name without extension. Adding it won't change anything.

call them texture0a.png and texture0b.jpg and avoid confusion

why do you name them the same? this will ultimately lead to a problem somewhere, especialy with materials.call them texture0a.png and texture0b.jpg and avoid confusion

It's because the Collada exporter does this automatically.
