Folders... For Everything.

crazykidz

I've seen this topic before, and what I want are folders, but everywhere. A folder will be “an organizer” for different types of scratch blocks. What this will basically do is to take a bunch of things from scratch and put them into one folder and you will be able to name it, open and close it.
The subject as you can see is “Folders… For Everything.” which means that I want it everywhere.

–Types of Folders–
*Sprites
*Costumes
*Scripts Folder, this will take a bunch of scripts and put it all into a folder.
*Variables
*Lists
*Custom Blocks
*Sounds

A concept example of a Scripts Folder:

[Folder v]

Other Folders should look different.

Another idea that ‘xlk’ came up with, but can only be used for folder for sprites:

if <touching [Folder v]>then
    do stuff
end

Folders will make Scratch projects more clean and organized, especially for big complex projects, like a 3D Engine for example.

Suport.
Also, "touching “ where folder is every sprite in that folder. That way you don't need a ton of ”or"s.

Yes, this could be extremely useful. It would also be nice for organizing your sprites in the projects that have tons of them.

As for project.json file, you could add an object, folder:

{
  "folder1": {
    "name": "some folder" //the actual name of the folder, as seen in the editor
     //sprites, costumes, scripts, etc. go here. Folders can also go here
  }
}

yeah I know that JSON doesn't have comments, but it was the best way to illustrate that
Projects are not required to have folders (and don't by default), primarily for backwards-compatibility.
