Just one more hint. The left panel has sections: Catalog(ue), Folders,
Collections, and Publish Services. I prefer to work with only one of these
open at a time, rather than a looong scrolling list. To force this, right
click on one of the section headers and select Solo Mode.
You can also hide sections you don't use - so maybe just keep Folders and
hide the rest. For now.
