Hypershade : "View as List" by default

If you want your Hypershade to view the icons "as list" by default, there are no settings in the preferences that will allow you to set it automatically.  You can however do it with MEL

Close the Hypershade and copy and paste in the Script Editor:

HypershadeWindow;

hyperShadePanelSetActiveTabLayout hyperShadePanel1 firstPaneTabs false;

hyperShadePanelMenuCommand("hyperShadePanel1", "asList");

Once it has been executed,  it will open the Hypershade window with the "as list" option all ready selected.  You can add this to a shelf button or create a hotkey for future use.

Is there a way to do this but with the "Graph materials on selected objects instead. I've tried to replace the last line with the relevant command, but I can't get it to work.

Thanks.

since I usually have a bit longer names...
