Finding an Image Map in a scene full of other maps?

DefaultName

In Surfaces, I want to use a particular Image Map that I also use as the Base Color for the Emission Color. However, when I click the image map selection tab in Emission Color to look for it, my entire screen is taken up, and I can't actually get to the Image Map I want.

Is there a way to move the menu to make it visible on my screen? Or another way around this? Thanks!

A workaround would be to...

1. Click on the image in the base color and click "Browse..." that should take you to the folder where the image is located. Now copy that address and hit cancel.
2. Now go to your emission color channel and click on Browse. Copy the address and select the image. 

This is how I've been doing it when the screen fills up with maps.

I'll try that, thank you!

I never understood why copy paste doesn’t work on maps in DAZ studio so feel your frustration, I have mostly resigned myself to perusing that huge list as always afraid using explorer functions will crash DS as it has on occasion especially search when finding a missing texture or worse if I decide to actually edit something in the browse window!

 

edit

just to clarify 99% it’s ok and I do it too including copying paths but there is always that one time I haven’t saved and it decides to crash .....
