Can close this feed now. Issue resolved in new FS beta viewer.

This canny is for the Second Life viewer. Not the Firestorm Viewer.

Linden Lab recently reinstated the ability to create manual subfolders inside the Outfits system folder (in the LL viewer, of course). (Thanks, LL!) As per usual, that code has come downstream to Firestorm and as someone has already pointed out, is available in the recent Firestorm beta viewers.

As I posted earlier, the new FS beta viewer has it built in to do subfolders in f

Outfit folders. No issues, no lag.

There is a way to do it on the old firestorm... existed for years. But it's kinda of a hack. Here is what you do :

1 - take something from an outfit (a link to an item) and drag it onto the outfit folder. This should create a link on the main folder

2 - right click that link in the main outfit folder and select the option "create folder from selected"

3 - Enjoy your new folder that you "cannot create"

BTW, to all the comment saying "it's bad" or whatever other BS, I've been doing that for years, always worked. No lag, no issue.

Phyre Sciarri Enjoy your folders :)

The new beta FS viewer has the ability built into it. I downloaded and works fine. And imo, it does not bog anything down.

Phyre Sciarri If I got the point correctly, FS devs are already careful with outfit folders because they can cause extra lag if there are too many outfits, especially because of the accordion structure. Just don't take my interpretation at face value because I might have misunderstood their explanation. If a FS developer sees this and corrects me they're very welcome to do so. So I suspect subfolders in outfit folders would make the structure even more complex and they could slow down the viewer. That is, if we're talking about several hundred folders or even thousands.

The way I try do deal with this, with more or less success, is that I created the folders separately and I use them in a modular structure by "add to current outfit" and "remove from current outfit". So I have a * BODY folder at the top that has everything that belongs to my body when naked and should always be worn. Then an "essential accessories" folder for piercings, a smartwatch HUD and the LeLutka HUD which are supposed to be items I wear all the time, except the LeLutka HUD, that's not on me when not using it. Then other accessories folders, jewelry folders, and then outfits. Each outfit only contains clothing, footwear and a foot shape, and alphas if the clothes don't use the body alpha. This way I have about 5-8 items in each of these folders instead of 40+, and rarely any redundant links overall, as I put the outfits together in a way I can quickly mix and match items from two or three folders right under each other.

I still have things I am scrolling through my inventory for if I want to wear them, but I'm actually quite messy so it's a matter of taking the lot of time for sorting.

Give it a try if you haven't done it yet, it made things so much easier for me when I finally made this structure.

Catznip provides this or did when you could create new subfolders in the outfits folder. Luckily I still have some spare sub folders so can find outfits easily. Pity there seems little prospect of PBR in Catznip. So this seems to be reversing a decision made some years ago, a good move in my view
