Grouping Legacy Instruments in ST4 SOLVED

[elgolview]

In ST4, I can select all the instrument sounds imported via ST3 (Sonik Synth, SampleTron, SampleMoog etc). My difficulty is that I can only see them as a very long list in the Instruments column of the ST4 interface. The instrument names do not identify themselves as being from a specific VST.
Is there any way that I can see them grouped, eg all the SampleTron tracks readily identifiable as being from that VST?
Thanks,
Elgolview

Click the Folder icon at the top of the LIBRARY column to swtch to the folder view. Then you can browse the library you want.

But - it can take a bit of time (over 90 seconds here) to switch. I reckon that ST4 builds the complete folder tree in memory and does not save it to disk. I have reported this problem to Support with some suggestions.

And it would be handy if each Imported library were listed as a CATEGORY in ST4's Browser

Hi Darkstar,
That's exactly what I was looking for . Thanks very much!
Luckily, the view only takes about 3 seconds to appear on my computer. This makes a lot of difference to me.

Good oh!

I do have rather a lot of ST4 and earlier instruments - that takes some time.
