Currently on the internet, some conceptual artist have resurrected an oooold well known wanted feature about brushes organization in Photoshop ( you know, when you have 200+ brushes, or when you want to switch from a library to another one faster )
If you are one of these people who totally want it in the next photoshop version ( yeah I know the CC serie has some haters but anyway... ), please log in and like/support/share/comment on the two links below... that would be great!
And perhaps the guys at Adobe would wake up and see that it's something we want for ages! ... heh.. not you?
I was sharing some of your frustration. At first I thought I'd just make actions to load different brush sets, each set a different theme so that the brushes would be easier to find. However, I have run out of hotkeys for each and didn't want to keep going into the actions panel. So I found a way to make custom button menus, each button loading a different brush set. It is called Adobe Configurator, and it is pretty awesome.
Here is an intro tutorial: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/configurator/ I don't remember it covering actions, but you can pretty easily figure it out. Just drag in an "action" button, and name the action set and action name, and it should connect the dots and work.
