Hi, John. That sounds mostly right. My understanding of the search hierarchy is the same as yours.

But this one thing is not following the rules. All my styles are in D:\BB\Styles\, supposedly a legitimate place for them, where BiaB is supposed to look. But it doesn't always. The Stylepicker knows enough to search that folder and build a proper list. If I save a style individually to the Favorites list, (searching it out on disk by browsing) it gets everything correct and can find the style properly in the same D:\BB\Styles\ folder when it's asked to.

But when you save styles to the Favorites in that one particular way described above with the "ADD FAV" button , everything goes to hell. The process looks like it's working. The result appears normal. The list looks like it updated, Then when you return later, it can't figure out where the thing is and returns a message declaring its pathetic helplessness to proceed.

It seems that might be fairly easily fixed, since it's so localized. The other problem (about having to browse manually for styles when you are adding them to the Stylepicker) is probably the same problem. Somebody forgot to tell that routine as well to look around a little more. The X:\BB\Styles\ provision came along only in the last few years, so old code may not have got the word.
