I believe it would be very useful to introduce in the program’s initial page (hub) of Dorico the possibility of inserting folders in which to place the various scores, so as to make their use more organized. Thank you for your attention.

Ciao @Aldo_CIMOLI, and welcome to the Forum.
When you save a new template (menu File>Save as Project Template), you can create a new Category (folder) that will accommodate your template:
You can also create folders and drag the templates from one folder to another, from the Dorico 6 system folder.
On MacOS is [user]~Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 6/Project templates
On Windows is Users\yournamehere\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Dorico 6\Project templates
When you reopen the Hub, Dorico will refresh the view to show your custom populated folder.

Dear Christian_R,
thank you first of all for the time you dedicated to my post and for the words of welcome.
Unfortunately, I forgot to specify that I own the “Elements” version of Dorico and in it, if I’m not mistaken, it is not possible to save “Project templates” and therefore I cannot take advantage of your suggestion.
That being said, I believe that the small modification to Dorico’s Hub suggested would improve its functionality.
Thank you again for your contribution.

Maybe you can use the second part of my suggestion, and create manually the folders, and drag the desired Dorico projects into them. I don’t know if this is doable, or if project saved as Project Template are inherently different…):
Dear Christian_R,
thank you again for your attention.
Unfortunately, even the second solution proposed in my system doesn’t work. I located the folder C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Dorico 6 and first created a folder named “Musical Ideas” and then another named “Project templates”. Upon restarting Dorico, there was no trace of them or their contents in the HUB. I also restarted the system, but the situation hasn’t changed.
I believe every Dorico user feels the need to organize their projects (musical ideas, projects in progress, completed projects, piano pieces, organ pieces, etc.) and it would be very useful if it were possible, without the need to create additional system folders, to simply move the project thumbnails into Hub folders.
I hope that the Steinberg programmers will eventually implement this feature.
Thank you again
Aldo
