Macro Managing

Ok, so i have huge piles of materials in my editor now, doing exactly what i want them to do, when i put them into play. I want to create lots more, but I'm afraid it will become too cumbersome to work within the editor. Whats a good way to manage this. I don't see any way to hide materials in the editor, so I'm guessing I'll have to somehow create a new project and combine projects. Is that right? What exactly does that entail, if thats the correct method.

That would be a good feature request however is to have folders that hold the materials and are simply for visual gain. I would say not just materials either, for all of the areas.

You can't hide materials, but simply collapse the different areas (materials, animations, scrollers, etc)That would be a good feature request however is to have folders that hold the materials and are simply for visual gain. I would say not just materials either, for all of the areas.

Expanding the width of the toolbar on the rigth does help actually. now I can see all my materials without having to scroll.

You should really try to use less posts and just do edits when no one has replied yet Modern.

Mr. Multibanner, it seems to me you may not be the best tutor on the topic of thread real estate :p
