add my own selections to local library?

Is it possible to add my saved selections to my standard/popup library? would be great to just add a “MyStuff” tag and grab from my little bag o tricks….

They don’t appear in the module browser, but after saving a selection, using File/Import Selection defaults to the last place you saved.

I like the idea, though. You can make the request at VCV - Support to add selections to the module browser (with UI to add tags/keywords).

It might be bad to have them all mixed up though.. I keep different folders based on where I sourced the selections to make it easy for me to grab all mine without grabbing them from other people. I also use alot of subfolders for different drum machines or styles instruments exc..

Feature requested. Thanks for the nudge.

Meanwhile, here’s a tip for how you can pin locations to your windows taskbar:

  1. RIght click desktop → “New”→ “Text Document”
  2. Rename the file to whatever + .exe
  3. Right click the file → “Show more options” → “Create Shortcut”
  4. On this shortcut, you can change the icon, so right click the shortcut → “Properties” → “Change Icon” (sometimes on my system I have to do this part twice before the icon changes)
  5. Right click the shortcut → “Show more options” → “Pin to taskbar”
  6. Now you can delete both the exe and shortcut from your desktop
  7. Right click the pinned shortcut on your taskbar → “Properties”
  8. In the dialog that pops up, change “Target” field and “Start in” field as follows:
  9. Starting directory should be the folder where selections are stored, for example C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Rack2\selections
  10. Target should be that same directory path, wrapped in quotes, and prefixed with the path to windows explorer, for example C:\Windows\explorer.exe "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Rack2\selections"
