Using the Assets Window for Tokens, Portraits and Images
- Derek Batting
The Assets Window
The Assets window contains all tokens, portraits and images from all of the modules that you own. You do not need to have the module activated for them to appear in the Assets window.
User Interface Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Use this to restrict the results to Tokens, Portraits or Images. Set to All to look across all three categories. |
2. Search Bar | Enter one or more keywords to search, separated by a space or comma. The results will include all filtered object types that contain all of the search terms as part of the name. |
3. Zoom / Preview | The magnifying glass icon over an image means you can click to preview the image in its own window. |
4. Toggle Grid / List | This will toggle between default Grid View and List View which lists one result per line with more room for the result name. Use List View when you want to scan result names more quickly. |
5. Home / Back | Home takes you back to the top level of the Assets window, displaying all available items in that category. Back takes you back to the previous screen you navigated from or search you performed. |
6. Breadcrumb | This will only show up when you are in a folder or using a Search. It will allow you to navigate up to a previous folder directly. Clicking on the Filter will remove it. |
7. Results | Results will show up here. Folders may be represented by a graphic, such as a file folder or a bag. Only the first page of results will be shown. Refer to the Next Page and Previous Page buttons below to see additional results. Images and tokens specific to your campaign will show up under a folder called campaign. They can be accessed from the Folder menu. |
8. Folder | This opens a File Explorer window on your Operating System that points you to the Fantasy Grounds Unity Data Folder. From there, you can navigate to the tokens folder or over to your campaign image folder. To access your campaign folder, go up to the root of the Data Folder and then into the campaigns folder. Find the folder that matches your current campaign name. Inside, you will find an images folder. |
9. Store Link | This will open a web browser and preload the Store (FantasyGrounds.com or Steam) where you can purchase additional packs. |
