Is there a way that I could organize my items into folders, and still alowing coldstone to use the items in the folders. I have exactly 2471 items in my game and It is a pain to look for any one item in that list.

The CGE finds pictures when they are in folders, it might find items too. The thing to do is try an experiment. From the finder go into your game items folder and make one or two sub folders. Place a few items that you know well in those folders. Now open Coldstone and build a release and try it. If everything works, fine. If it doesn't you may have to go back and re-enter the items in the events which call them. That might be more work than it's worth. If the experiment fails, go back to the finder and remove the items from their sub-folders.

Ok. I tried it. I tested map graphics, Items, NPCs. And I got errors for everything. From not finding the files at all, to not showing them in the pop-ups, like place NPC, item, graphics. I didn't try to build because of these problems. I guess we are all out of luck. It's not very forgiving in the format it uses.

Just trying...
There is more than one benefit to using a naming scheme with items. When the player shops and browses his items he's going to run into the same orgsanization problems as you, if on a smaller scale. We name everything...
Sword-Katana
Potion-Healing Drop
Bow-Longbow
CGE arranges everything alphabetically, but you can't separate different types of items into windows (or any other way), so this is the only way. Makes things simpler on you and your player.

the obvious question would be: Did you first use an item on your map and then move it to another place? When moving it to another location on your harddrive you need to tell coldstone where it can find it.
for graphics this works for sure. dunno about other stuff.
Read somehwere one can not go two levels down (folder in folder in folder pictures is not ok).
