Looking for Zebra patches, where did they go?

It's no secret I like getting patches off this forum. Though every once in a while, I copy them on to my iMac in the usual folders, and I can see them there in the folder in Finder (Mac equivalent of Windows Explorer), but then I have a heck of a time finding them within Zebra. I know they are generally listed alphabetically. I'm I the only person that occasionally has trouble finding patches, even if I know the patch name? I don't think it is a bug. How do you guys/girls get around this issue? There isn't some patch search function within Zebra is there?

I use "reveal" from the right-click menu, then search using OS functions.

Howard,
Thank you for replying. Here is an example of my (now less of a) problem: recently I downloaded a patch from this forum, I did not put it in a particular folder other than ZebraHZ. I saw that patch "PT - ATMO (Random Texture)" in the Finder, also able to see it using the "reveal in Finder" function. But, I could not select it from the Finder. So, I moved the patch in a folder with some other PT patches, then I was able to select it from ZebraHZ Patches. I'm I missing anything, or did I follow through on what I should have done anyway? I checked the manual & didn't see anything on the "reveal in Finder". Perhaps not putting them in a more specific folder was a bad practice?

I don't quite understand. Once you have "revealed in Finder", you rename/copy/move/add patches etc. there. Then go back into Zebra, "refresh" the browser and select the patch you want.aaron aardvark wrote:I saw that patch...in the Finder, also able to see it using the "reveal in Finder" function.

Good practice is always use "reveal" function before putting .h2p files anywhere ("reveal" is in the manual on page 16). Also works for MSEGs and oscillator templates, BTWSo, I moved the patch in a folder with some other PT patches, then I was able to select it from ZebraHZ Patches.

Howard,
Thank you for replying again. First off, I did not have the latest pdf manual, so now I do.
