Manual materials management

Dave McH

Hello!

My materials folder grew up and now it's really pain in the ass to find anything. So I decided to divade it into groups by adding new folders etc.

I use manual installing just coping folders, so I put material in the new folder and then manually delete same folders and fils from old location (runtime, data etc.) Tht works but then I have a lot of empty frames in place of old materials, and there is seems no way to clean it up.

And if I just right click>delete some material from Content Library tab, will it remove all linked files?

If you right-click and select remove reference it will remove the old location from the database without doing anything to the file on disc. Delete will remove the actual file.
