    Meny,

    There isn't really a concept of the "current library" in the library manager - it's not intended to be used as a browser.

    If you want to have a UI which selects a library, you should use the ddsSyncWithForm() function. Alternatively, you can customize the library manager to add a menu or popup menu which will cause some action to be triggered based on the selected library (or lib/cell/view). This is covered in the Library Manager documentation.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
