Lists/Folders for Sprites

Just_Ciaran

I think that we should add a ‘List’ or ‘Folder’ option so people can put multiple sprites in one folder

For Example I am working or a game called ‘Game of Games’ which is like a central for mini-games for every mini-game that I have added there has been around 5 sprites. This would mean that when I get more games (up to 10) I can put each game into a folder with the game name. This would make it much easier to find different sprites.

If you don't understand what I mean this is a summary

I would like a folder for each mini-game so it is easy to find each game.

Game of Games
The Legend Of… (Uses 37 sprites currently)

Here is one, there are probably others too.

Oh Ok.

Well I guess I'm another supporter of folders but I agree with the first person, we don't need extra blocks that are specifically to do with folders

No support, it's not worth the ST's time.

Here's why:

Scratch is a file editor. Not a file browser.
Depending on how the system is set up, it could be confusing to inexperienced Scratchers.
How many projects use enough sprites to warrant requiring sorting sprites into folders? You can make some pretty impressive stuff from only a few sprites; in fact, I have seen some impressive 1s1s projects that could probably fit in right along griffpatch-level projects, so it's not impossible.
If you need to organize your sprites, you can always drag them around in the sprite list to adjust the order.

This is why:
_______ OS projects
Iphone/ipad/etc. simulators
Computer simulators
Minigames
And also please use [/list] to close lists

Please use the existing topic in the link above.

@Just_Ciaran - of course you didn't create it on purpose…don't worry about it, we get duplicate topics all the time. Thanks for taking the time to give us your ideas to make Scratch a better place
