Hi! I'm new here, so I'm not exactly sure this is the right place to ask, but after doing quite a bit of searching to no avail, I decided to pop my cherry and ask a question. That question: How do I create subfolders in the Images & Maps, Tokens, and similar sections of the UI?

I noticed that there's one for some of the Maps that came with the 5e bundle I purchased, but for the life of me I cannot find where they are on my drive, nor how to create other similar folders.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. So thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forums!

For tokens, you can create them in token modules, or (easier at first) put the tokens in the <FG app data>\tokens\host\<ny folder name> directory. Some info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Tokens#Loading_Locations

For images, don't use a directory structure - put all of the campaign images in the campaign \images directory. Then, add category tabs at the bottom of the image window and drag/drop images to the tabs to rearrange. Info on category tabs here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Campaign_Data#Categories

Thank you! The information on category tabs is exactly what I was after. Much obliged. :)

Follow-Up Question: Is there any way to label these categories? I didn't see anything about it on the link or when I toyed around with it first-hand.

Type the name you want into chat but don't press return. Now drag the text and drop it onto the label.
