BruceKC Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Is there a way to create a folder in bonus catalogs to group similar catalogs? Right clicking does not give the option to add a New Folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 i believe you have to copy to the User category first then you can create folders there I think ... Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That method results in twice as much library data as you really need. The catalogs copied to your user library will also no longer update when you run a Library Update.

Lew I believe the intention was to use filters to find items and use your user library for items that you have built yourself or customized for your needs.

lbuttery Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Michael: thanks for the clarification I remember something about making copies or making links to items since the current library structure was introduced in X4 I have suggested that the folder structure be the same as it is on the website during X5 beta someone from CA said it was a great idea but to late for x5 Hmmm, X13 is coming and somehow I doubt it will be there Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikiw_bend Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I add to the suggestion that there be a way to categorize the bonus and manufacturer libraries as they are on the website. I tried creating a folder in my User library with subfolders for each category, with just a list (not linked) of the catalogs that fit into that category, but it's a pain in the butt. I didn't want double links to entire catalogs, and I want to be able to update them. By the way, given there are a zillion cabinet catalogs, I only install the ones with representation in my region - why install ones that have no geographic presence where I live? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
