Quote - For that - finding in storage - I am thinking that ya need to figure out how you categorize an item - reproducably.  It needs to be filed in a way that two years from now, Ya still think of it the same way.  Finding something you know you have, is one thing.  Finding something that you forgot you have, or just bought on a whim, browsing the stacks, as it were,  Ya need to take time a figure out how YOU think.

When I store my purchases and downloads, I categorize them EXACTLY the same way I do in my runtimes. So I can find the original file very easily.

For those things I haven't yet installed, I also categorize them right away, after download. The installed content is in a subfolder of its category called -- with great originality -- "INSTALLED".

Sometimes, I do wonder whether I categorized something as "Gothic" or as "Fantasy" or whatever because many items could potentially fit a number of different categories. But I still have a good idea of where to look. And as quoted above -- you do need to figure out your own criteria for each category before you start.

I could autogenerate a text list of all the assets in each folder, if I wanted. This would be easier to search than the files themselves, I suppose.

As Jaager says, putting things that are add-ons and related products together in a folder is a key. And, of course, you can always rename the folders, the files, and even the original downloads.
