Drag & Drop art straight from My Art Library?

Hello, new here and don't feel like surfing mad numbers of posts and replies to see if this has been addressed before: It seems that I should be able to directly drag and drop desired images from my Art Library window to the map I'm working on, but it doesn't seem to want to do it. I'm having to adjust the tag to something that I'll know will make it come up at top of list for an art search in main side panel. Is there an easier way of doing this?

Presently the Art Library window is where you manage your personal art content. You can't drag pictures from it to your tabletop. You have to use the image search tab on the Sidebar. Adding tags to your image is how one brings the items up via the image search..
Ok. Thanks. That would be a neat feature to be able to just drag/drop out of my own library. It'd save me a step x10 or 20 times per map design.

Jason, what step would it save you? :) - Gauss
Well, (forgive me if I'm doing something wrong), but I have clicked the little star from general art search panel on thing I frequently use so that there are lots of images that I use in my Art Library. So lets say I search in my library for a "Stone Chair" and it has a label for "Chair". I can see it pop up on my Library list, but in order to USE it, I need to edit the tag(s) for it to pop up in my main art search panel, and then drag/drop it from THERE. Why not allow me to just drag/drop things I've "saved" to my Art Library? Not trying to make a mountain out of a molehill here, (I'm very new to this Roll20 wizardry), I was mainly just curious, as I find myself using the Art Library to find things more often than main Art search.... Maybe I'm just using the Library improperly, but it skips scrolling through stuff I'm not looking for and ads to buy tiles.
I did post this in Suggestions as well, so maybe if we all determine that I'm just feeble-minded you can close that out for me too? :-)

I'm pretty sure the reasoning behind this setup is that images add up quickly in your personal art library. I have hundreds of images in mine. When you have that much content, it actually takes a while for the library to load the entire catalog. Since I have every image well tagged, I can bring whatever I need really quickly by just typing up the key words in the Art Library search.
Gotcha. Thanks. I'll try and head it off at the pass and get started with proper tagging before it becomes more of a headache to do so, and just get used to using main art search.
