Can I turn off the automatic library scroll when adding new things?

When I add a new thing (in my case a graphic) to my library it automatically scrolls all the way to "Ls" where it would be alphabetically put in for "Layer 1." I have hundreds of things in my library and having to watch it scroll all the way to the L's before I can relabel it is becoming a time waster. 

Version 21.1.3

"usually L for 'Layer 1' "

 

What happens if you rename "Layer 1" before you add it to the Library?

It's a library of logos so it's a pretty big list of things that wouldn't really benefit from being grouped together. So let's say I've got a logo .png file up in PS, I go to the libraries panel to 'add content' > 'graphic' - when I add the graphic (with the new PS update) it'll physically show the library scrolling through all of the logos and stop where the layer would be filed alphabetically within the list (usually L for 'Layer 1') and I have to rename these each time. It only takes about 3-4 seconds, but it's silly to wait for this scroll feature.

It does eliminate a step, but I'd still love to be able to have that feature turn off lol

Hi,

 

not sure I understand you, but just a thought, why don't you create lists on your own in the library? You can group things grouping them, eg, I have a pattern folder library and a lot of others, grouped by name of the project, name of the client and all assets are in the right place. 

Easier to find things when you need them. Included a cut of my libraries to show what I mean. There is surely a way for you to assign labels that make it work for you.
