Another option - using presets of Library object, like * "Activities" for activities and objects that could be treated like activities(for example .swf files) * "Books" * "All my objects" * etc. all these presets could have different sets of default UI elements But anyway, I think its a task for future Library versions. -- Aleksey _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
