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.
Resource folders can be saved into a user or workgroup library for use in other files; see Creating custom resource libraries.
To create a resource folder:
From the Resource Manager’s file browser pane, select the file in which to create the folder.
Click the New Folder button. The New Folder dialog box opens.
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].
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.
Enter a Folder Name.
Once created, the resource folder displays in both the file browser and resource viewer panes.
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.
