Recent Uploads

Hi! I'm quite surprised this is not an issue for more people so maybe I missed the solution, but DAMN the recent upload menu is a pain. So sure, I read "click on the double window icon, it will hide the assets you already stored in a folder" Which I did, trustfully. So I deleted half of my assets (who WERE stored in folder) and lost an entire day finding them again, and re-uploading them. I really hope you'll come with a nice solution for that, cause when you're dealing with over 60 maps and 300 npc tokens, plus your PC's illustrations and token, it really turn the "recent uploads" menu into an ergonomic nightmare :/ To be honest, I suffer from ocd so it might trigger me more than it should xD If I missed the right solution to make it clear, please tell me as it's driving me crazy!  Thanks a lot, for everything, and all the great work you're doing!

When you store an asset in a user-defined folder of the art library, it only stores a pointer to that file; the actual file address still stays in the recently uploaded  section down below. When you click on the double window, that will (or rather, is supposed to) hide the files in the recently uploaded section who's pointers have been stored in folders. The user-defined folders in the art library do not  function the same as folders on your device (or any other app that I've ever worked with). Yes, this is counterintuitive, frustrating and AFAIK not going to change. If you delete the entry in that mess  the  recently uploaded  section  below, the pointer stored in the folder will no longer work, and the next time your browser cache clears those graphics will disappear from any maps on which they were used.

Arf, ok, I'll be more careful :) Thanks for the fast answer!
