I am guessing that the YafaRay materials went through a name change at some point?

This is the converter you released in the Yafaray4tS v0.9.0 thread. All though it is dated June 14, 2013
These are the names in the combo control:
Yafaray Rough Glass
Yaf_Coated_Glossy
Yaf_Glass
Yaf_Glossy
Yaf_Light_Material
Yaf_Shiny_Diffuse


The current YafaRay Material names:
Yafaray Rough Glass
YafaRay Coated_Glossy
YafaRay Glass
YafaRay Glossy
YafaRay Light_Material
YafaRay Shiny_Diffuse


Also a complied D3D material has to be converted to a D3D Shader before converting to a Yafaray material.

Yep, the names changed.
Nope, that's your version of the material converter, mine never had the extra controls or the new panel. When you started making changes I thought you would take care of it, so if you didn't fix the names no one did. Should I add that to my list or will you be doing it?
Yep, compiled has to be converted to d3d first.

That link doesn't show any material converter, goes to page 59 of the discussion for me

Edit: also tried pages 58 an 60 to see if it was off by 1 page - no luck

This is what the top of pg 59 using the link looks like for me. Does it look right?

Nope! How about you search for D3D material Converter
Thats how I found it.
It is in the Yafaray4tS v0.9.0 thread.

Update #2, July 2020

bug: Instancing restores the original setting when complete
instancing is multi-selection aware
compiled to D3D is multi-selection aware

the only mode that uses a single selected item is the Indigo converter
yafaray is already multi-selection aware

Something is super wrong with this update!
I have 3 cubes in the scene
Nothing selected
I ran Convert with Instancing/Scene

I took a peak at some of the scene materials and noticed materials from your Cube widget which was not even loaded.
