I’m still struggling finding the way to organize my samples in Bitwig. What do you do?

In Studio One I used the stock samplers. Sample One for all synths, which I set up as presets organized in folders. I can use Bitwigs sampler, but it leaves me with two issues.
1) I can’t seem to find a way to organize my self-made presets, similar to using folders. Leaving me with one long list.
2) The sampler has limited functions, so I need to load additional plugins, which takes extra steps.

@mosgaard a really important tip for me has been that bitwig search works on folder names. e.g. if you have a folder called "snare" all the files in it will come up if you search snare

@mosgaard when i make preset packs i always start them with a 3-4 letter combo to make them easily searchable also. e.g. all my grid instruments names start with "tgi", all my volume 5 drums start with tv5, all my packs for a future pack of grid fx start with "tgfx". ive found that focussing on searchability and keywords like that goes a longer way than being super particular about folder structure if you have a tendency to be messy

@mosgaard other than that uhhh, using favorites for device presets helps. if you press shift while clicking the little + itll only show favorited devices/presets

@tildesounds great tips, so you use fixed preset names rather than tags, is that correct?

Also, great tip about Favorites, didn't know!

@mosgaard yea i use the fixed names. i use the software "batch rename utility" for making/organising my sample packs. i prefer it to tags bc its not as bitwig exclusive
