We are currently working on an implementation that combines the two in a more meaningful way. You get a different screen because one is there to help you in selecting a tool, and the other is there to help you build/create/manage your tools. It is a mechanism for you to filter down the number of tools you want to select from for your operations If you have the check in front of the library, those tools should show up in the 'Tool Selector' window - they should not show up with no check.

I can give answers to some of your questions, but others I would need to see what you are doing: Would you have any time to set up a screen share, so that I can watch your workflows and answer any questions you may have? If not, are you able to produce a Screencast, showing some of your workflows so that I could comment on that? It sounds like there are a lot of questions here that I would like to answer, but I want to be clear on what your workflow is currently. I am spending more tme asking questions than doing work! I wish I could find help files that helped! Why do I get a different screen when I open manage vs select? Why does data appear in the browser oriented differently than it was created but okay in the file into which it was imported? Some tools seem to appear after the file job has been open for a while?

I can not edit a tool until I load it and then go back to edit? When I open the library it opens with a bunch of stuff selected, like cast iron and until I close all this I don't see any tools and I need to close all the libraqries to see them all.

What is the check mark for in front of the libraries, ie sample tools, it does not do anything? Its okay if a tool gets asscoiated to the new job but I want to still have it in my library. I have gone to new library with no job loaded and the same happens, cant create. I have gone to new library from inside a live job and it does not work. Okay, I want to create a tool library that I can use for any of my jobs and I want to be able to see it from any of my jobs and new jobs.
