Old Max6 clippings copied to /Documents/Max7/Snippets, yes?

Also in /Max6.1/patches/ I have a folder with lots of UI object graphics. Should these go into /Documents/Max7/Library, or /Documents/Max7/ ?

In this case, I would go for the "personal package" option, so that your organized documents stay organized. In your "davidestevens" package, you can make folders for "clippings", "media", etc. The clippings location is particularly important due to the Paste From... contextual menu. Snippets are a different beast (hence the .maxsnip file extension) containing some additional information not contained in clippings, so they aren't interchangeable.

We'll most likely be phasing out clippings in favor of snippets at some point, but they are still essentially supported in Max 7.
