Token Marker Library items aren't available in-game

Hey, having some trouble here, hope it is just a user issue on my part. But I went thru the process of uploading tokens into my Token Marker Library.  I then attached each of those folders to my active game.  I then go into that game and they do not show up anywhere in the My Library tab of the Art Library.  I'm utterly baffled... shouldn't they show up there?  If not, how do I access them?  Thank-you!

What you have created are Custom Token Marker Sets.  They show up in the Token Markers menu on a selected token. Those let you decorate tokens in the game with little copies of those images.  That won't work for what you want.  What you want is to use those images as Tokens.  To do that, you take the images from your computer, and drop them on the map.  That will create an entry for that image in your Art Library.  You can then drag those about on the map, create copies, assign them to characters, etc.  
Ok thanks.  But wow... isn't that awful inconvenient?  It looks like doing it that way means you have to drag and drop each image into the folder structure you want.  And then you'd have to do this over again every time you setup a new game in Roll20.  Or is there an easier way that I'm missing? Thanks!

Your art library is available to you in every game in which you are the creator or GM.  So you only have to add something once (in any game) for it to be available in all of them.
I'm new to Roll20 and experienced this as well... to be clear, the Custom Token Maker Set are essentially the small icons you can tag to an existing token on screen to signify (for argument sake) a condition of some sort?  For example, for Savage Worlds, I can upload thier condition tokens, then if a character token on screen is "Shaken", I can use the "Shaken" icon from the Custom Token Maker Set I uploaded.... correct?  Thanks all!

If you want to use your Custom Token Marker Library art in your game as Art Assets, as I do with my Glorantha Runes set, you must upload your PNG files to your Art Library as usual, as well as making a Custom Token Marker Library. So now I have both a Glorantha Runes Custom Token Marker Library to attach to my 13th Age Glorantha games, and a Glorantha Runes folder in my Art Library.  By the way, should anyone want these Glorantha Runes they are available for download at BRP Central .
