Make the Essential Graphics interface options flexible & robust (Folders)

Seriously, bring back the list view I have 260+ essential graphics and strolling through them is annoying and unnecessary.

The graphics panel is a nice idea, but almost unusable to have to scroll through everything or do a word search. Very cumbersome and clunky.

Ditto. Bring back folders. Bring back list view. Provide an option at least for people who like lists and folders. Thank you!

bring back folders to the Essential Graphics Browser. Now the files are mixed in one panel. I have sorted them into folders and subfolders for better orientation and working with them

I Agree... Even though a folder and file structure may seem to be outdated and not the new hip cool way to deal with files, it is something that works for just about everyone.

I had a group of Mogarts that I used for a specific client (Special Fonts, etc) in a folder. I could easily find them and use them without having to look at a bunch of items I don't need.

Now I have to sort through this huge list of thumbnails (many of which I will never use) that is cumbersome and clunky (But it is just like looking at pictures on my phone... Ha)

Adobe, you made a great graphics tool almost useless!!!

Thanks for the update. To feed back, our work flow is that we have deployed a social media template across the business. There are three templates for each aspect... 169, 919 and 1:1.

Each template has a number of graphics. Without folders you are asking that everyone using this template would have to know what to search to find it. It's an extra layer of confusion when have folders marked with the aspect is about as straight forward as you can get.

What is getting frustrating about Adobe products is that it seems you get some feature requests and you then implement it in its entirety and completely abandon the previous way. Rather than adding features as well... Features on top of what was already there to see how it is received.

This has happened with essential graphics and multiple projects. Adobe has just forced a new feature on everyone and giving no choice to people who were happy with how it was before.

If you can find each of the mogrts you need per sport once in the EGP, and if you click the Info button on a mogrt's thumbnail, then you can add keywords like "Tennis" or "Basketball". You can then search on "Tennis" within the My Templates tab to show that set of mogrts. You can get as detailed as you want with your keywords, like for example maybe you add "Handball, 2018, Lower Thirds" so that you can search out all the Lower Thirds graphics for your 2018 Handball segments at once.

Also, if the thumbnails you want are already Local, checking on Local Templates Folder should make it easier to spot what you want. It should be even easier if you save to Libraries and filter to show only the Library(s) you want.

For me, it's now complete chaos to work with all of my Essential Graphics files mixed together. I edit mainly sports and I've had one folder for each sport, like Tennis, Basketball, Handball etc. Each of those folders had dozens of lower thirds. For every project, I'd go into a folder and test file by file to see which one I like the most for that project. Now it's so time consuming to find the one I need.

I'm adding to this request. With everything in Thumbnail view in the Essential Graphics browser, it takes up unnecessary space and sometimes makes it nearly impossible to find an asset.

Search based browser is maybe good in theory but I view it as adding keyless entry to a car but also removing the seats at the same time. (bad analogy but one is far more important than the other, imho)

For me, I organize graphics based on client or project. For example: Client 1 has a folder with all their GFX assets, Client 2 has their own folder, General use stuff has it's own folder...and subfolders.

I think the Adobe terminology might be a little off which is directing some decisions that might be causing headaches. Most editors aren't "searching" for their assets, they are "accessing" them. If they are like me they know exactly where they are based on their organization. If the mentality of an editor never knowing where their assets are then the search feature makes sense...but most editors organize so that they don't have to search - Lower Third, open the L3 folder. Client 1 assets, open the Client 1 folder.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi Bronwynlewis (Admin, Adobe DVA)
Re1) I know about keywords, but it is very hard to go over all .moqrt files and give them appropriate keywords. For
CC library is not the solution, each file has to be insterted to the timeline and again exported to CC. Bcos CC does not support subfolders, users have many folders in CC.

Re2) I exported a moqrt file and renamed in browser window by its rename feature. Due this the name of the file is different from name stored inside of .moqrt. Maybe it is the issue.
