You can add as many sample library locations as you like and easily
switch between them using the drop-down list at the top of the Clips
browser.
</p>
<p>
There are two ways to add new library location. The first one is
by using the <kbd class="window">Edit Sample Library Path</kbd> window
directly:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
In the <dfn>Clips</dfn> tab of the sidebar, click the top drop-down list and choose <kbd class="menu">Edit</kbd>.
<figure class="right">
<img src="/images/clips-locations-in-the-dropdown-list.png" width="400px" alt="Clips' locations in the drop-down list">
<figcaption>
Clips' locations in the drop-down list
</figcaption>
</figure>
</li>
<li>
In the newly opened dialog called
<kbd class="window">Edit Sample Library Path</kbd> click
<kbd class="button">Add</kbd> and locate the folder that contains
samples. If there are subfolders, choose the parent folder that
contains all of them.
</li>
<li>
Repeat for all other sample libraries.
</li>
<li>
Click <kbd class="button">OK</kbd> to apply changes.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Alternatively, you can drop a folder from a file manager into the list
of clips in the Clips browser. This will add a new clip library location
stored across sessions.
</p>
<p>
Now when you click the drop-down list at the top of <dfn>Clips</dfn>, you will see all the paths you added.
</p>
<p>
Should you need to delete any path you previously added, open the
<kbd class="window">Edit Sample Library Path</kbd> dialog again, select
the path and click <kbd class="button">Delete</kbd>.
