Managing resources
Corel PaintShop Pro resources include such items as scripts, picture tubes, patterns, gradients, displacement maps, and workspaces. The full listing of resources is displayed along the left side of the File Locations dialog box. Using a consistent method for managing these resources can make your workflow easier. This is where the Resource Manager dialog box comes in.
Wherever you find a Presets control, such as in the Tool Options palette, or in the Presets drop-list in an effects dialog box, you can access the Resource Manager dialog box.
You can delete, rename, copy, and move resources. You can also create your own resource categories.
