Managing Selection Sets
Folders in the Selection Sets control bar work in a similar way to how they do in Microsoft Windows. They can be created by right clicking either on a blank space in the Selection Sets control, or on any visible item in the list and selecting Add Folder from the context menu. If the item selected is a folder, then the new folder will be created inside, otherwise it will be created in the root of the control above the selected item.
Items in the list can also be dragged and dropped into and out of folders, including folders themselves as well as their contents, simply by selecting the item, holding the left mouse button down, moving over to where the item should be placed, and letting go of the left mouse button. In this way it is possible to create a variety of nested folders containing any number of folders, selection and search sets.
