Help w/Metadata files for Katie's Shadows

[casbury]

Hi. I know this topic was just posted a few days ago, but I still can't figure out naming the metadata files. I got the style to show up in the effects window, but now I need to name it so it shows up in the drop down menu. Here's where I'm stuck. I understand to copy and rename an xml file in text editor, but how do you name all the different types of shadows? I've obviously done something wrong.

I thought if I added this to the end of the other thread no one would see it. So, please help. I'm so frustrated. It was my goal today to get this accomplished.

Thanks,
Chris

I'm so excited! Thanks to Sara, I finally got the shadow style names to be listed individually in the drop down menu. She sent me the Drop Shadow .xml and .jpg files to load into the layer styles along with the .asl file so I didn't have to go to the text editor and rename an .xml file to the new style name. Still renamed and added 'old' to the metadata file and also had to rename and add 'old' to the thumbnail file. Then quit all programs, restarted PSE and voila...there they were. This process was so much easier.

Sara, it would be great if you could get these added to Katie's Drop Shadow Styles product as this question comes up quite often. I know styles I've bought elsewhere include that file.

Here is an older thread which discusses how to create a meta data file yourself. http://www.designerdigitals.com/digi...pse-8-mac.html
