Finally made the move to 2018.

I know there was discussion about identifying and locating user defined styles in 2018. Previously we used the A_USER.LS3 file to do this. However, I cannot find the new method. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Could you give more details on what you want to do exactly ?

With the new 2018 version, I have been asking for a User styles folder to easily gather and locate our user styles. No success up to now.

I have some user styles that I created in 2013, and I want to see them in 2018 style picker.

Along with many other styles, they are located in the bb root folder rather than the BB/styles folder.

In 2013 (and several subsequent releases) user styles were defined in a file called A_USER, and included in the style picker. But I understand that is no longer the case, so, although my styles can be found by BIAB, they are not defined in the style picker.

I have read forum topics identifying this problem, but I didn't find a solution. I am sure there is one, as I did see a contribution from Notes Norton, where he thanked PGMusic for providing a method to find his styles in the picker.

You probably have already defined a User styles.LS3 file since you use user styles since 2013.

In the stylepicker, hit Rebuild/Complete rebuild of styles list.

Then, hit on Other/User styles only and you should see your user styles.

Thanks - just what I needed.

Is this documented anywhere?

You can open the BIAB manual as a PDF file.
There you can search for 'rebuild' or 'stylepicker' or 'third party style' to get more details about these features.

My advice : read and read again the manual, you won't waste your time !
