Photoshop: Better Preset Organization (sub-folders, tag, search)
I'd love a better way to organize brushes, shapes, and styles. Perhaps a way to tag them, then search or sort by tag.

The preset manager squishes the thumbnails into a square shape, so that some of the presets are hard to recognize. You can put presets into sets, but you have to load a whole set at one time, not one at a time.
I would like to be able to view and add various tags to each preset that I have on my computer (not just the loaded ones), and then be able to view/search/sort by tag, such as Christmas, Grungy, Watercolor, etc. Each preset could have numerous tags, so it could be grouped differently based on the search criteria. For example, you could have a brush that had a Christmas theme, but was also grungy. You should be able to to find it under both tags. I would also like to be able to load each preset, not the whole set at one time.

When one knows that Bridge is supposed to be the command central of the Creative Suite, and that third party app are able to do that (never heard of PresetViewerBreeze before, thanks, Constance!), it is a bit sad...

A previous topic on this was started a while back. See the link above.
While there are organization tools via third party, hands down, other applications are ahead on this--including Corel, Painter, Manga Studio EX, and also type applications. I'd also like font management to come native to it. Details are in the link and there is a fair amount of support for the idea.
Be great to also be able to manage fonts and resources by project as well, for those of us who do things professionally. So if you use a font/resource, it automatically puts it into a panel. (Painter has similar functionality, so I know it can be done.)
Also, as mentioned in that thread, I'm pressing for being able to give the brush author credit in a meta-type set up, but optional... and also searchable.
Be great to have this across the board in all applications, not just Photoshop.

Look at the brush organization in Painter. Not saying Photoshop should do that, but considering that painter has a brush history, and enhancements for sizing, color, etc, some of that might be useful for photoshop users.

I typically deal with over 5 projects a day which all have different color requirements and it would be a great time-saver to be able to select a swatch group quick without importing it. Better still would be when my PSD opens the swatches would update, although I can see that being a preference which some users might want to disable.
Any traction for this one? Feedback is appreciated!

For me, the ability to organize swatches into folders (just like in Illustrator) would be a good start. The best would be some feature that allow us to link swatches with projects or files, like Rachel just said.
