Library Organization Help - Impulse Presets?

Hi - I'm running live 7 on a macbook pro in os x 10.4.11 - I have had live 6 and now 7 running on this machine with no problems.

I have accrued a lot of impulse presets that I would like to group into folders, much as the stock presets are grouped into "acoustic" and "electronic". My Ableton LIbrary path is clearly marked at

/users/dja/library/application support/ableton/library

which I thought was a pretty normal and straight forward place to put the library (the same library i've had since 6)

when I navigate to this folder, everything seems fine - there are tons of decoded wavs and stuff that I should probably delete, and in the presets folder everything shows up for things like compressor, audio racks, etc. - but in the IMPULSE presets folder, there is nothing - nothing! I have been sitting here building impulse kits off of a folder full of drums (again, clearly located in my music folder - not random files from all over the drive) and now I can't find a single impulse preset. Can someone help me? Surely I am overlooking something obvious

update, the impulse kit presets were located in instruments\impulse

my mistake - what presets go in the other impulse folder?

Probably dates back to Live 5 or before,

with Live 6 the structure was changed and a few sub-folders added: Audio Effects, MIDI Effects, Instruments, with device folders inside those...
