Matt,

I mostly understand your question and I see what you mean about the
extra folders and the fact that it is cumbersome to always define parameter
aliases. At any rate, I think what you are looking for is the Tools -->
Parameter Alias Editor so that your aliases are saved from one session to the
next.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

> Hello,

> I have a grib2 file that has wind and wave data in it. They are different
> resolutions so it puts them into these "folders" that show the LatLon
> and resolution. It makes it very difficult to remember to put in an
> alias for my u and v components so that I can plot true wind barbs and
> other derived parameters. Is there any way to disable this extra "folder"?
