    Posted by Jack Hilkewich on May 17, 2006 at 8:20 pm

    I’m sorry if this has been posted before, but as I write this I have no time to look in the archives.

    One of the things I’ve noticed about having all of these wonderfull emitters created every month is that it become tedious to keep track of them.

    Is there a way to isolate single emmiters and move all of the similar ones into a single library that is easy to load? All the water ones into one library, all the motion graphics, etc.

    This would be a great time saver. Failing this a printable spreadsheet or one I can create a pdf that I can continually update, of all the emitters that maybe includes a thumbnail pic.

    Thanks!!

    If you right-click in the Library window and select Manage, you’ll get an interface that allows you to move emitters back and forth between libraries quickly. That’s the best way to reorganize your libraries into the categories you want. It’s nothing instant, but once you know what you’re doing, rearranging things can go pretty fast.

    Kim Cuttle has a spreadsheet available here with all the emitters listed.
