Material Libraries...

Out of respect for onshape I won't express how much I hate working with Matrial Libraries, cause I love onshape.
If I choose Add material library and I select "Owned by me" then nothing shows up, it is in "Created by me" however.
If I look at Recently opened then I see it there with me as the owner….
I think adding a Material Library inside a document should be enough to use it in that document. And that al the other steps should only be required if you want materials to show up in all documents.
Every time I haven't used materials for some months I need to read forum posts of people strugging and watch youtube videos. I think I remember now but not because it makes sense now. I think I remember cause I understand now how it makes no sense at all. I guess that for the developers they are to familiar with the steps and don't reallise how counter intuitive it can be.
I hope it get's some love cause it seems that it could be well improved with minor programming.
