Custom Inventory Views - Splitting & Combining
Bloodsong Termagant
i have several (hundred) avatars -- tiny, dinkie, animal, human.
many of these creatures wear clothing. or use vehicles, houses, furniture, etc.
so i have in my inventory:
Body Parts
--Avatars
----AnthroHominid
----Dinkie
----Tiny
...etc
and
Clothing
--Anthro
--Dinkie
--Tiny
--Creature
...etc
and
Objects
--Vehicles
----(normal)
----(tiny/dinkie)
...you get the idea.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE -- is to divide my inventory -- into tabs, or sections, or something.
so that when i am wearing a Tiny Avatar, it only shows my Tiny clothing, vehicles, toys, houses, furniture, gestures, animations... et al. (that i will sort into this category myself.)
so that the dinkie and human and animal stuff is not in my way when i'm searching for something.
i
could
reorganize my inventory so the top folders are Anthro/Dinkie/Tiny/etc and throw all the stuff in there (presuming i don't run out of sub-sub-subfolders.)but here's the other problem-- pretty much everyone can wear the same hats.
so, WHAT I WOULD ALSO LIKE -- is the ability to make a shortcut to an entire folder tree.
so that whether i go to Anthro/Hats or Dinkie/Hats or Tiny/Hats... ALL the hats are there, without having to copy each one (or batches of them) and paste link. i could just paste the link to the folder.
So when I switch to a Dinkie Avatar, I'll got and set my Inventory view to "Dinkie". and i won't see body parts or clothing or outfits for anything else.
--OR--
For another example...
I could create a WORK View, where I have my scripts and tools and whatever project(s) i'm working on visible, and not see anything i'm not going to be using. like the other 60K of stuff :X

I think this leads in nicely to what I think (though unsure if I've seen on actual Feedback?) is a fairly wanted feature, a 'tagging' system for items in the inventory.
For example, many hair stores may call their boxes Brandname - RandomHumanName, and it's sometimes difficult to search for them.
A tagging system would let the creator and item owner 'tag' it with things like 'hair' 'mesh' 'female' 'rigged' 'ponytail', so it wouldn't be in the object name but would be searchable in the inventory (ideally toggle-able or using hashtags).
I'd imagine it would be in object properties similar to item descriptions.
If that were implemented, you could just search #Dinkie or #Unrigged and have a unrigged-only and/or usable-on-dinkies inventory view.

I make separate folders for Tiny, Dinkie, Titchy and subfolders for clothes, vehicles, etc. But, as you said, some things can be used by multiple types of avatars. It would be useful to have a tabbed interface, or some better way of organizing things.
