Hi there, first of all thanks for the great mod!

I was wondering if there is a way to keep the option to hide unpurchased parts aktive by default. I think it would be a great compensation for the problem that JC overrides the feature within editor extensions redux

Cheers!

Not sure I understand you, regarding JC and EEX, can you elaborate?  EEX and JC are totally separate mods, no interaction with each other

Regarding unpurchased parts, once I understand what you are referring to, I can look at it

Hey @linuxgurugamer,

so sorry for the confusion on my part. Regarding the supposed EEX problem, I was actually wrong three times: Firstly, that I was referring to Filter Extensions and not EEX, secondly, that I assumed that the "hide unpuchased parts" functions within Filter Extensions would also work with the original light blue filters and not just the light green ones added by Filter Extensions, and thirdly, that there was any compatibility problem between Filter Extensions and JC in the first place (now that I know what to look for, I did some test installations and everything seem to work as it should).

Regardless of the confusion over this aspect, I still think that JC would benefit from being able to set the "hide unpurchased" feature to always on. Whilst JC is great in that, unlike Filter Extensions, it can actually modify the contents of the standard part filters, I usually use the "hide unpurchased" feature, especially when I am running a part-heavy installation. My problem is that the function is automatically turned off as soon as I leave the VAB/SPH. If it were possible to set the "Hide unpurchased" function to always be on, there would be a much better distinction between the R&D building, where you would not only go to research parts, but also to purchase them (if you disable the "No entry purchase required on research" option at the beginning of a campaign), and the VAB and SPH, where you can only see the parts that are actually available for your space program, without all the parts you don't need (for now). 

I hope that clarifies things. Nevertheless, I am very grateful to you for taking the time to listen to these ideas for incremental improvement

I have a request. I would like to be able to right click the toolbar icon to quickly open or close the mod filter window. Would be a nice QOL feature. Thanks.

The problem I have is that when I add the parts to the custom category, the part still exists in the main categories cluttering up the category with welded parts.

Is it possible to make the parts removeable from a specific category? I would even be OK with editing config files - welding my parts, add them to custom category, then edit config to remove from main category. Is it possible and how do you do it?

I appreciate the mod thanks 

Update: Turns out you can edit the part file "category" to -1 and leave subcategory - the part should now show up only in the subcategory.

Hi, in one of my modded saves, I'm suddenly unable to create Janitor's Closet folders in the app bar. When I alt+right click, nothing happens. I've tried removing a bunch of mods back to a version of the save where the folders did work but with no success. I've also tried reinstalled Janitor's Closet but also no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

• Screenshot of error in Console immediately after Alt-right clicking to create a new folder.
• Player.log file
• Modlist

Is there a way to reset the list of mods in the UI? I have a couple mods that I've uninstalled but they still show up in my list of mods.

Easiest way is to reinstall it (just right click on CKAN and then click Reinstall) - you would have to reset any blacklist or folder settings you had with the mod though. 

Other option is to go to GameData\JanitorsCloset\PluginData - there's a file called "JCModfilter-v2-1" - if you delete that, it should reset the list of mods. Not an expert on the mod so I don't know if there are any side effects to this but I haven't seen any myself.

I’ll try the latter option and back up the file prior. At worse I’ll just restore the file if needed.
