PS CS3: How to load all ______ (Styles, Brushes, Custom Shapes, etc.)

[Kevin...@adobeforums.com]

Is there something I'm missing regarding the loading of Styles, Brushes, Gradients, whatever... - en masse?

In CS2 you could load all Styles at once, or brushes, or any other "Preset". Now in CS3, when I'm in (for example) the Styles palette and click on "Load Styles", a panel flies open to show that you are in fact looking into the directory where the Styles "live" - but there is nothing actually there to select.

Do I really have to click on one, load it, append it, repeat, repeat, repeat? I'd love to know that I'm missing something. But I've tried every means I can think of to load Presets in bulk, to no avail.

Thanks for any tips!

CS2, CS3, and CS4 all work exactly the same in that regard.

Most likely, you're looking at the wrong directory.

Yep, that was it. When you drive it to the proper directory, in the PS folder, then you can select them all and load them in one fell swoop.

Thanks so much for your time!

All the best, Kevin

FYI, actions can be drag-and-dropped en masse on Photoshop's interface.
