Use notecards to organize your stuff.
You can add (embed) assets in a notecard by dragging them from your inventory onto the notecard. You can add your own comments: just type them on the note and save. You can remove enbedded assets as you do with any text -- highlight and delete, for example. You can embed other things in your inventory as long as they have full perms (permission). If you can't embed something, that probably means it has not been set with full perms.
-
Embedding does not create a hyperlink. An embedded notecard stays the same if the original asset is changed.
-
You can use this method to send multiple things to other people, all in one convenient package.
-
Change names on assets or folders: In the inventory list, right click on the item, click on rename, type in the new name, press return. Note: you probably cannot rename the system folders (the ones with the graphics on them). You can rename the folders you create.
-
Coalesced object: The objects will appear in inventory as boxes jumbled together. The objects are taken by selecting multiple objects at once, as you would to link them. Then, instead of linking you take the collection as you would a single object.
-
Cauton: Be careful rezzing a coalesced object: Be sure the parcel has enough prims to support the object. Get far away from the borders of the parcel. Best go to the center of a sandbox if you are unsure.
