How do I organize Actions within the Actions Tab on Moho 14??
It seems that organizing Actions in Moho 14 is not possible- yet it was on earlier version as you'll see in the snapshot below.

Folders + Icons
Moho 13 also had icons that indicated the type of Action. Making a tidy workspace was easy in earlier versions- but is that still possible? Or am I missing something? I have been scanning through tutorials for v14 but haven't come across anything yet. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

See Below:

• Moho 13 = tidy, easy to customize
  Moho 14 = messy, unable to customize- or so it seems

Part of how v13 organized actions also made them prone to breaking, with no easy fix.

Oh, OK. Thanks for the explanation, @synthsin75. Thats too bad.

Yes, Actions got seriously broken in Moho 13.0. Thank goodness Lost Marble acquired Moho after that release and rescued it by giving us version 13.5. Yay!

That said, I'd like to see the current team take a crack at better item management tools. Not just for Actions but also for Styles, Bones, Shapes, etc. (For me, Rai's Shapes Window is on the right track.)

For now, I categorize my Actions using sensible names and use the Action window's Filters box to display what I need to work with. For example, Actions related to a character's arms would start with 'arm_', so when I type 'arm' in the filter box will display all actions that start with 'arm'. For other parts: head-related items start with 'head_,' hand-related start with 'hand_,' and so on.

My 'general purpose' character rigs can easily have 100-200 Smart Bone Actions, and using the Filter has been the best way for me to manage them.

I really wish the Sort button in the Actions window was on by default, though. At least give us the option to make it the default.
