Working with Multiple Content Browser Windows

You can open more than one copy of the Content Browser and you can move or copy items by dragging them between
the windows. You can copy tool palettes, tool packages, and tools; you cannot copy tool catalogs between Content
Browser windows. Only one catalog library can be open at any time.
When you drag tool catalog items between Content Browser windows, the following rules apply:
If a different catalog is open in each Content Browser window, dragging an item copies it to the new location and
leaves the original item in place.
If the same catalog is open in both Content Browser windows, dragging items from one window to the other moves
the item (for example, from one category to another), removing the original item.
If you have the same tool catalog open in multiple windows, and you add an item to the catalog, the tool catalog
display is updated in all open Content Browser windows.
Opening Additional Content Browser Windows
You can open a new instance of the Content Browser by pressing
a specific tool catalog, tool palette, or tool package in a new Content Browser window.
Closing Content Browser Windows
Closing one Content Browser window has no effect on other Content Browser windows. You can close all open Content
Browser windows at once by right-clicking in the title bar of any window and selecting Close All Windows.

Opening a Tool Catalog in a New Content Browser Window

Use one of the following procedures to open a tool catalog in a new Content Browser window or display an open catalog
in a new Content Browser window.
With the catalog library displayed in the right pane of the Content Browser window, right-click the catalog to
open, and click Open in New Window.
If a tool catalog is already open in the right pane of the Content Browser window, right-click in a blank area of the
catalog, and click New Window.
You can open a specific category of the tool catalog in a new Content Browser window by opening the category.

Opening Catalog Items in a New Content Browser Window

Use this procedure to open a tool palette or tool package in a new Content Browser window.
1 Open the catalog containing the desired tool palette or tool package. If the item is located in a specific
category of the catalog, open that category.
2 Right-click the tool palette or tool package, and click Open in New Window.

Dragging Catalog Items Between Content Browser Windows

Use this procedure to send tools, tool palettes, or tool packages from one catalog location to another by dragging them
between two Content Browser windows. Moving an item removes it from its original location, while copying an item
retains the original.
NOTE You must have write access to the original catalog before you can move it.
1 Open two Content Browser windows.
2 In the first Content Browser window, display the catalog item that you want to move or copy.
3 In the second Content Browser window, open the catalog, category, tool palette, or tool package to send
the item to (only tools can be sent to palettes and packages).
