Object Manager
 A scene dragged into the Object Manager will be merged with the active
scene.
 Objects, materials, bitmaps, videos, material presets and tag presets can be
dragged directly into the Object Manager or onto an object. Materials and
texture tags will be generated, if necessary.
 A tag preset that is dragged into the Object Manager will be assigned a Null
Object, that will be generated automatically. A tag preset can also be assigned
to an object in the editor view or in the Object Manager.
 In turn, objects or tags can be dragged from the Object Manager into the
“Presets / User” folder in order to create the corresponding presets.
Render Settings
 The render preset can be dragged onto the “Render Settings...” window to
replace these render settings.
 In turn, the settings from the “Render Settings...” window can be dragged
into the Content Browser’s “User” folder in order to save them there.
 The two aforementioned methods also apply to “Post Effects” in the “Effects”
tab.
