I've been working in with new Shelf introduced with 3d painter and I still can't get used to it.
I can't work efficiently anymore and I don't know what to do. Are there any tutorials or guides on how to make better use of it?

What problem is it causing for you?


I tend to use two methods depending on what I'm looking for:

 

1. Set to "All libraries" and click the reset button at the bottom to remove any filters then use the search bar for a material by name.

 

2. When I brought in my old shelf, in which the material section is divided into folders by material type , I kept that structure and just added that to the library location in settings. That way I can still use those material folders to filter and search should I wish to do so.
