So many times I've made a texture and not realized how much I'd need it more throughout my project beyond the first object I made with it. But there's no way to easily change it from "Object" to "File" without remaking the texture, or perhaps editing the code of your Anim8or file if you're clever.
It would be nice to have a checkbox or dropdown within the material dialog that can allow you to switch the assignment at any time.
Alternatively it would be cool to be able to copy/paste materials, not only as a way to move a material between File and Object, but to make it easier to make a new material based on an existing one without having to redo all the settings from scratch. But I imagine that would be a lot harder to implement.

CoriDavis copying material and pasting it as a new material can be done by edit>copy material than edit>paste material and giving it a new name. :) I also did edit>copy material by selecting material in object section then clicked in file section and did edit>paste material and it worked. So it looks like that we can paste object materials to file section of materials. :)

Ah heck, I didn't realize that was there. Was it added recently?

I have used Anim8or version 1.0 and it have those options. I do not know if previous version than 1.0 have those options.
Have a nice day.
