Search - function or plug-in for recurring use of own graphics

[djb-side]

Hello all,

 

I am looking for a function or a plugin in which I can store/collect my own and always needed graphics in order to be able to retrieve them quickly. These are usually small graphics (PNG).

Do any of you have an idea how or with what this can be done?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

Many greetings
Andreas

Hello @djb-side and welcome to the forum

 

Perhaps this Plugin would do the job:

Hi @djb-side

Simply create a folder named graphics on your desktop and store your images/pngs/graphics there. Easy to remember and easy to navigate to.

Hope this helps

That is eactly what I do. I have folders named Watermarks, Tiles, My_Images and Backgrounds just for this puppose.

You can add sub-folders as I do within the My_Images folder.

And/or, when you have created your folder of often used images, right click on it and choose 'Pin to Quick access' so it is always at the top of the explorer folder list.

You could store them as layers in a .pdn file.

Hi all and thanks for your suggestions.

I'm rather looking for a tool that I can show on the left like the standard tools to be able to quickly drag and drop the required graphics from there into the open document.

That would be Layers\Import from File. No keyboard shortcut. No floating toolbar. Can't add to the existing layer. As good as it gets I believe.

Something on the list to add to the next release?

No; that's just how menus work in Windows. You press Alt, and then it underlines the character that you press to open the menu. Then when the menu is drawn it underlines the letters again ...
