Creating Resource Folders

Use folders to organize the resources within a file. Each folder is designated for a specific resource type. For example, only gradient resources can be copied to a gradient folder. You can have multiple folders of the same type. When you have a single resource type selected for display, only folders for that resource type display.

To create a resource folder:

  1. From the Resource Manager’s file browser pane, select the file in which to create the folder.

  2. Click the New Folder button. The New Folder dialog box opens.

  3. Alternatively, if a specific resource type is selected in the Palette tool bar, right-click in the resource viewer pane, and select New Folder in Active Document or New Folder in [selected file].

  4. If the All Resources option is selected as the resource type in the palette tool bar, select a Folder Type for the new folder. Otherwise, the folder is automatically associated with the active resource type.

  5. Enter a Folder Name, and click OK.

  6. Once created, the resource folder displays in both the file browser and resource viewer panes.

  7. Drag and drop resources to add them to the folder.

    Dragging a resource from another file places a copy in the folder.

    Dragging a resource from one location to another in the same file moves the resource. To move a copy instead, press the Ctrl key (Windows) or Option key (Mac) while dragging the resource.
