SGDK Version 2 > General Discussion
SubLists for Graphics and Framesets
v6v:
Would it be a burden to ask:
If SGDK2 could feature sublists for managing Graphics and Framesets? Instead of all Graphics and Framesets falling under "Graphic Sheets" and "Framesets"?
That way I could create a category under Graphics Sheets called "Car Graphics"
Create all Graphic sheets of a certain type inside of it
And collapse/expand it whenever necessary without having to collapse the Graphics Sheets listing?
It helps things become organized when you have a a large amount of graphics.

I think Vincent had the same request because he had a lot of graphics in LoK Revival too. Vincent, did you find a good way to deal with this concern, or just push through the difficulty without any better answer?
v6v:
Since SGDK2 Projects use an XML Structure, wouldn't it just be creating new categories for graphics to fall under?
It might call for a new version of SGDK2 and perhaps a converter for old projects...
I'm in desperate need of this. There are too many graphics and framesets everywhere. Maybe even an extension for sprites so I can categorize those too in the directory.
bluemonkmn:
Implementing the data structure is the easy part. Implementing all the management of categories and user interactions with folders would be the hard part. But what if it were simply implemented as an extension of the name? For example, if you include a "\" in the name, everything before the "\" would represent a folder into which the object would be nested. And perhaps multiple "\" characters could be used in the name to nest objects multiple levels. Would that be a useful implementation of this idea without even requiring any upgrade or data structure change? The nesting of an object could be changed with a simple rename.
v6v:
But when I expand the graphics sheets directory, all of the sheets would expand, regardless of how I named them.
I need a solution that would allow me to create folders under the GraphicsSheet and Frameset or Sprite folders.
This is more of an issue within the IDE. I need things to be organized within the IDE.
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you.
