New to the forum and I realize this is several months after the original posting of this thread, but it seems like Timehunter may have given up and I'd like to know the answer to this as well. His (and my) question isn't how to save a project file. His question was how to turn something he has designed into a pattern that will appear in his Pattern Library.
As an example, when you import an image, it gets saved in Pattern Favorites and you can then use that image pattern in any project file you'd like. He'd like to do the same thing with an mpc file he has downloaded from the forums. He may have found something like a Fleur de Lis or a fish that someone posted to the forum in an .mpc file. Now he'd like to take that fish and add it to his Pattern Favorites. Similarly, I may have designed this really cool pygmy marmoset that I would like to save to a new Pattern Library. How can I select the items for the marmoset from my current project and add them to a new pattern library that I want to call "Animals". Naturally, I'll then want to share the "Animals" library with everyone on the forum. How can this be done?
I'm sure the answer will be RTFM and I'm getting there, just a little slow.
Thanks!
