EVA Items and Inventory Slots

[maddog59]

I'm puzzled: I want to load some of the EVA items (Fallen Kerbonaut sculpture, beer, guitar, etc) onto a ship, but they won't go into any of the stock inventory slots that are available when you first open the part's action window. They will only go into the slots available via the "Seat x Inventory" window or the slots available via the "Inventory" button on other container's PAW's. 

And it looks like if I open a PAW for a container, then open the 'Inventory' window, I can load twice as many items as I should. Loading items into the second 'Inventory' window  does not seem to effect the volume used in the PAW. Is this a bug? Does it have something to do with using KIS? Or am I misinterpreting something?

These parts are all KIS related and they do not natively have the ability to be put into Stock Inventory. The second "seat" inventory is also part of KIS.  There is a mod called KIFA that adds ModuleCargoPart to parts that do not work with stock inventory that will allow you to add them.

Thanks .... I was convinced all of those EVA items were stock, not KIS, as I thought I remembered them appearing with the 1.11 update, before I'd updated  the KIS mod. Clearly my memory is not what it should be. 

Any thoughts on my observation of being able to load 2x as much cargo into a container?

It's a fact of current life. For me I pretty much only use one inventory system at a time. I prefer the way KIS works while on EVA so I tend to use that system as my default.

Eventually it may just sort itself out. Incremental improvements to the stock system, combined with evolution or depreciation of KIS. For KIS I hope it is evolution... I like the ability to have my kerbals wear hats.
