    Hi there,

    I would like to ask if it is possible to add objects, tags, materials, presets... to the watch folder in the asset browser? The only way is to save it like a C4D file to the watch folder (which works perfectly), but after double clicking on the asset, it opens as a new project. My intention is to import it into the current scene, not open it as a new project.

    Is there a workaround for this?

    Thanks.

      Hi sweet-boyfriend,

      Is drag and drop not working for you?

      Please have a look here:

      Please let me know how it goes.

      All the best

        Hi Dr. Sassi, yes this works fine, but I need the same functionality with the watch folder. I just need to double click or drag and drop a scene from the Watch folder into a current scene (after double clicking or dragging and dropping from the Watch folder, the elements are opened as a new C4D project).

          Thanks for the reply, sweet-boyfriend,

          Yes, I can confirm from my own exploration that the Watch Folder does not have that option. I checked with any key combination I thought would make sense.

          For now, I would copy the content from the new scene or use the merge node and go into the watch folder.

          So far, I was told this (Watch Folder drag and drop option) is a current limitation and not intended. Sorry about that.

          All the best
