Allow browsing of resource by pack

I've bought quite a few asset packs as they are a great time saver. However finding anything now that my library is getting large is very tedious. I know I can tag things to make search easier but with hundreds of items its no longer really a time saving issue. It would be great if when I clicked on a purchased asset pack it would filter the displayed assets down to the selected pack. Currently it brings me to the market place page for those assets and I cant drag them out into the map :( Even tagging all the assets in a pack with the packs name by default would be a huge step in this direction. Its worth noting that mousing over the purchased button says that I should be able to access the assets using the thumbnails below but clicking on them just gives me a preview and dragging them into the map does nothing.

Hi Paddy , good suggestion. Note that most (if not all) Packs are already automatically tagged, at least with the Artist name and usually some additional artist-inputted tags. It might contain the pack name, but certainly contains the artist name. They don't show up as Tags in your library (only your custom tags show there), but they work if you search. If it helps at all, use the artist name in your search as a narrowing. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Art_Library" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Art_Library</a>
That doesn't seem to be working for me. Aside from that, the hidden tag solution has other problems. Namely there are no UI affordances to indicate to the user that they can search by pack or artist name. It also requires that the user remember pack and artist names otherwise the need to click into browse to get that information and then go back and perform the search. I think I still prefer a solution where I can browse my purchased packs and use the items from that browse screen.

True. You can see the artist's tags (can be called "global tags") by looking on the actual Marketplace pack, if you recall which packs you've purchased, and navigate back to them in web broswer Marketplace (not inside your tabletop or library). It's a good suggestion for being able to browse your Library by Packs. The methods I mentioned is just to help find ways around for now.
