You’ve gone backwards a bit in a couple features in SD3….

[David Snow]

Unless I am missing something, taking individual beats and storing them in a user folder is way harder and badly designed in SD 3. If you need more explanation as to WHY, I could type paragraphs to describe the GUI difficulties I incur when trying to `1) create a user folder. 2) EASILY move beat files from various libraries INTO the user folder. It is just so hard to do it now. Please take a loon at your GUI design in this matter. I am sorry, but it really has gone backwards from EZ drummer.

Aslo, your TABBING system needs re design. Next to search, there are tabs, and when you click on one, they get undone, erased, go away etc. This is terribly un intuitive. I constantly find myself click a tab thinking it will bring up only that tab aspect, such as “tap to find” compared to other filters that are also on. Please look at the design and make it more intuitive. As a product specialist for various companies, if you’d like , you can contact me and maybe I could test for you and give you some perspective on certain areas this product cold be improved in. In general, you guys are great and this is a greta product. I look forward to the next major update of DS 3 and hope GUI logic is addressed to make thing more intuitive.

Yes, the User Folder view has been redesigned from EZdrummer 2. The exact design from EZdrummer 2 wouldn’t work in Superior Drummer 3, but the current implementation can be improved, like you wrote. We will have a look at this.

By “tabs” – do you mean the active filters (circled in the attached screenshot)?
If that’s so: the active filters row are a result of all the filters that has been enabled for the current search, and the functionality to click to remove is there to easy clear some or all the filters.
