Sub Categories/folders for Saved Extended Views & Current Available Backup Workaround
Please keep the discussions over here: http://forums.thebrain.com/post?id=4781035&pid=40852650#post40852650
Currently, saved Expanded Views can be found and used via View > Load Extended View. The problem is that it's not possible to use sub-categories and the list does not support scrolling. Thus the amount of visible saved Expanded views (SEV from now on) is limited to the height of your screen, which depends on the screen resolution.
First I thought I've to deleted least used SEVs, to make room for the more often used ones. But I found out that there is a folder called "extras" in the brain's root folder, which contains a separate file for each SEV! That gave me the idea to move some of them to a new folder, but that folder will not be visible to load in your brain.
Thus my current workaround for the lack of sub-categories, is to use dot (.) separated words/characters/strings for the name of the SEVs, and move the least used ones to a backup folder in the extras folder. This way I could reload a complex SEV without having to recreate & rearrange it again from scratch, because I thought I was forced to delete them, to make space for new ones. Although sometimes the brain would have changed so much, that the old SEV would now get bloated with each click, and might need to be rearranged. But that's always inevitable to rearrange, or start from scratch. At the very least, much less time is wasted on recreating complex SEV to switch between them without too much hassle!!!
So, by now, I hope that the need of sub-categories is unmistakably very clear.

When I say currently, I mean for users like me still using v5.5.2.4, as I'm not sure whether this limitation still exists in v6.
