2         You can add as many sample library locations as you like and easily
3         switch between them using the drop-down list at the top of the Clips
4         browser.
5 </p>

7 <p>
8         There are two ways to add new library location. The first one is
9         by using the <kbd class="window">Edit Sample Library Path</kbd> window
10         directly:
11 </p>
12
13 <ol>
14         <li>
15                 In the <dfn>Clips</dfn> tab of the sidebar, click the top drop-down list and choose <kbd class="menu">Edit</kbd>.
16
17                 <figure class="right">
18                   <img src="/images/clips-locations-in-the-dropdown-list.png" width="400px" alt="Clips' locations in the drop-down list">
19                   <figcaption>
20                     Clips' locations in the drop-down list
21                   </figcaption>
22                 </figure>
23         </li>
24         <li>
25                 In the newly opened dialog called
26                 <kbd class="window">Edit Sample Library Path</kbd> click
27                 <kbd class="button">Add</kbd> and locate the folder that contains
28                 samples. If there are subfolders, choose the parent folder that
29                 contains all of them.
30         </li>
31         <li>
32                 Repeat for all other sample libraries.
33         </li>
34         <li>
35                 Click <kbd class="button">OK</kbd> to apply changes.
36         </li>
37 </ol>
38
39 <p>
40         Alternatively, you can drop a folder from a file manager into the list
41         of clips in the Clips browser. This will add a new clip library location
42         stored across sessions. 
43 </p>
44
45 <p>
46         Now when you click the drop-down list at the top of <dfn>Clips</dfn>, you will see all the paths you added.
47 </p>
48
49 <p>
50         Should you need to delete any path you previously added, open the
51         <kbd class="window">Edit Sample Library Path</kbd> dialog again, select
52         the path and click <kbd class="button">Delete</kbd>.
