FS#6748 - Filter for storage window
The ability to sort in the storage window is awesome. However, it would also be nice to be able to search your storage for a specific item within a category. I think this would mostly be useful in weapons categories, but I can see it being useful for other categories as well. For example, if I’m looking in category: weapons - axes and I want to find all of my blah blah blah of the hammer axes, it would be nice to be able to filter by “of the hammer”. Sorting is great, but if you’re looking for an item with a specific modifier, and it’s not a prefix, it’s hard to find.
As far as I remember, the ability to sort the storage window using other keys than just the names, e.g. item values, was inspired by Neeno's PsExtended. There we also have a button to export the storage list, just as you can save local copies of your books. This is useful to look up your storage offline, and also to do searches as requested here, but with external tools (grep or a text editor).
This was a requested feature for which neeno was kind enough to submit code. The idea of a filter is a great one!
Maybe also a counter could be included so you can see how many stacks/slots you have left in a category?
Iridia: You refer to the technical limits of storage? I remember putting too many items (byte information) in a single item category will make the entire category inaccessible to the player. No clue if a solution was found for this in the meanwhile. Neeno actually implemented a status bar and percentage info showing you how much of this "space" is used.
However, I think there is a downside of putting this into the regular client: If players know how many items they can dump in storage, this may trigger a massive increase in storage load. I dont know if that has any impact on server resources (RAM?), like for instance, trash in guild houses.
According to this task there is a hard coded limit for storage now http://hydlaaplaza.com/flyspray/index.php?do=details&task_id=5283 Displaying how many stacks you have stored and the max limit should be ok then.
