thats a good idea digits… one thing ive noticed is you can load the zlist from the default and bring up your tools just fine however it wont let you save a tool… the only way that it will load a tool is if you load the zlist using the load script button…and i dont know about you but if you dont do this then zbrush gets wiped off your screen completely…no errors at all just puff gone…lol
howdy from australia ok zlistB is great but it keeps crashing on me it loads find but when i scroll to select more selections boom crash, im using xp z1.51 ati 8500 , please help
This is a known issue with ZList in 1.51, and will be corrected in the bonus upgrade.
Does this script work with v1.51? I am getting crashes every time a slider is moved. Same prob as with MaterialPack and others posted a while back.
This seems really cool, my trouble is that I don’t seem to be able to make it work. If I try to recall a tool,texture,alpha in any odd numbered slot I get unexpected results.
Oh boy! Can I ever use this! Brilliant! This is one of the utilities I was really hoping someone would come up with. I make my own materials & textures in particular and it’s hard to just store them in a folder, I am forever looking for the one I want.
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU!

Well, I have just one observation about the Zlauncher. I spent about 3 hours loading it up with my favorite original, materials, textures, and tools. Alas when I went to use it, I noted that although all the thumbnails are there, some of the materials, and textures do not load. Any ideas as to why this might be?
Thanks.
Isn’t it about time Lights were added to this? or perhaps to the MaterialList zscript since Materials and Lights often go hand-in-hand?
Jaycephus,
You can save your lighting using the Light palette’s inventory control. This is much more valuable then being able to save a single light to the ZList would be, since lights work hand in hand and there are certain settings that affect the scene as a whole rather than any single light.
I strongly suspect that the people who consistently turn out images with great lighting have worked their way through several renders to find a really good setup, and then saved it. Now they finish a scene, load the most appropriate lighting file, and then just tweak things if needed. It’s a lot more efficient than saving a single light would be.
Hi Matt,
I know that I can save the Light settings. I have a bunch of them on my harddrive, and I’ve uploaded some of them to ZBC for my ZBuddies. I can also save every other item that the ZList currently works with, except Lights. But since we can save our Materials in a MaterialList ZScript, and everything ‘but’ Lights in the ZList ZScript, and since many custom materials need a custom Light setup, which you have noted and I can confirm that it takes many renders to tweak to perfection, I thought it would be a good idea to have a ZScript that lets you save the Light setup with the Material. (I use the word ‘Save’ in the sense of organizing Lights in a List alongside the Materials they were designed to work with, not in the basic sense of the word, which ZBrush already allows us to do.)
I bring this up because even though I try to save special Light setups with the same name as the material, between all of the variations I have created, and all of the ones I have downloaded, my Light and Material folders are becoming a morass of similarly named files, with suffixes like ‘_jlm1’, ‘1a’, ‘1b’, ‘2c’, etc.
Help…
It’s good to see this thread refreshed as ZList is the second most useful Pixolator script I’ve found (following Texture Master).
One note. Twice now I’ve had ZList suddenly start to store materials improperly. Both times it was right after I somehow botched a save UICustom.cfg file operation. Removing the UICustom.cfg file and saving a fresh one fixes the problem. Now I keep a backup.UICustom.cfg file which I can copy so I don’t have to reconfigure from scratch.
Thanks Pix and crew for such innovative and helpful scripts.

Zlist storing alphas thumbnail as filled white box when using zbrush2.
anyone else having this problem when storing alphas- the alphas is stored but the thumbnail is a completely filled white box.
Hi, I have a similar problem. I can store and delete tools and alphas with that script in Z155 but I am not able to save usable information with ZList ZScript in Z2. what could be the problem? Volker
hei the step be came little doom to me…
This plugin is 5 years old and most likely incompatible with Zbrush v.2
There are better plugins that work well with v.2
