alphabetically in the stack. Custom items saved in the Library are identified with a user badge in
the lower-right corner of the icon.

saved in Library

By default, any generator that you save in the Generators category in the Library is stored in your
user folder: /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Motion/Library/Generators/. To share
custom presets, templates, layouts, behaviors, filters, or Library content with another user, the
other user must copy the files into his or her home folder.
