What if there were folders, or, dividers, in your backpack to divide certain things?

For example, what if you want to divide your sounds effects from your music? Or certain music genres from other music genres?

Or your art from your scripts? Or art you made from art people gave you?

It would be simple. All you have to do is click "Create new folder," then you can name it, and drag and drop things in it. Everything will be in the default Folder1, if you don't make any folders.

Also, it'd be handy if you could search for both folders in your backpacks, and items inside of the folders.

Also, for some reason once you put something in your backpack, you can't move it around. It stays there and that's it. Also, if you put something in your backpack it goes straight to the front of the backpack, which means it's practically impossible to organize.

Any feedback?

Thanks, I did. I would like to see more organization options in the backpack - it could be very helpful for people that like to carry around a lot of things. However, I think it would take a lot of development time, which is in short supply right now. Could you use sprites as a work-around with the current system?

Could you do something similar with the existing backpack by using sprites to contain (and label) the assets you are trying to organize?

It doesn't work. The file is too large. (Error Loading Backpack.)

A folder function could also be helpful for sprites. Maybe for the backpack we could call them “pockets”

We should totally call them pockets! I love that name!

Bump

This is a really smart idea! I'm always trying to search through my backpack to find something in all the clutter. This would be super easy to locate things and it'll make thing not too complicated. Great idea!

Support! I have a similar suggestion just not for backpacks, but I haven't gotten around to posting it yet.

Thanks for the support, ya'll! I hope the Scratch Team sees this!

Support! This would be highly useful, and I would love it!

+1

Support.

Smart and useful idea

Bump

Support! I can see how this would help me a lot, seeing as I somehow end up with an overcrowded backpack, especially with MAPs and stuff. Great idea!

Support! I barely use the backpack but it would be so convenient to find stuff if it was organized and not a cluttered mess.

That would be pretty handy! However, that would be a pretty big change from the way it works now so it would take a lot of development time. I expect that, at the moment, the team is going to be mostly focused on fixing bugs and restoring lost functionality rather than adding new features.

i love the new backpack

Support! I find it really hard to find everything in my backpack and spend more time searching through it then finishing my project. Maybe there could be a limit of ten folders per account so it doesn’t get cluttered with folders?

yes yes yes yes yes!

I like this idea!

Thanks for the support!!

Awesome idea! I've thought about this before, too.

I can't. When I tried to backpack sprites, the backpack gave me an error.

I support this suggestion. This would organize the backpack.

I think this would work for the time being! We just use sprites as folders. ^u^

Edit: Bloop, it doesn't work. The file is too large. (Error Loading Backpack.)

I agree!! I also want a search bar.
