Dude - your videos have improved by like a 1000% since you added that voice thingy!!! This ALMOST looks like my dream come true. It has nearly all functions that I was searching for in a component browser except one that might be implementable. We have our component collection in theme-skp files - so not a folder with 100 components but a file with a 100 components. Why? because these components share certain subcomponents and saving them “one by one” would destroy that structure. My proposed solution would be to not only to be able to “heart” a skp file but also to be able to “add skp to library”. It would then be scanned to find all components inside of it. (If this is to complex, I will likely use this component manger anyway, and we would redo our structure, as this is just too good to pass on) ![components](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/d/d/dda56210f4cc48efeb752fc8e067e6ea22ded963.jpeg) ---

> [@napperkt](#): > > My proposed solution would be to not only to be able to “heart” a skp file but also to be able to “add skp to library”. It would then be scanned to find all components inside of it. Hi, this function is in the roadmap and it will be added to the extension in the final publish release. If you are using 5D+ Plus, you can use this funtion from the context menu or from the “Save objects” button in Other tools. This 'll help you to save multiple objects (groups or components) into a folder. ![Screenshot 2024-09-24 110025](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/4/3/4354957c3033a67a4be891985de3d0bd16708d7f.jpeg) Additionally, if your components are DCs, the “Relace & Match” function will work perfectly, because it can automatically redraw the DC after scaling, follow by the size of replaced object. ---

Very well thought. When we have online sources and download a material, will it be stored in a corresponding folder in your Library? ---

There is not any “default libraries” from the extension. All collections you must add manual by yourself from any local folders in your computer. Then the library will show the assets inside that folder for you. The online source just for refences, visit and download to the local. ---

Would it be possible to have the plugin store that assets from a given site would always be stored in the same custom folder? ---

Add ability to minimize the window dialog as much as possible to become a handy “toolbar”. ![toolbar](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/f/e/fe13ac98c5fb5353d49318dbc0e569b9515a37b1.png) ---
