Mr Shifty Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) This version of the mod is no longer being updated or maintained. Felbourne took over the mod in December of 2013 and has published updates on his new thread [thread=62466]here[/thread]. Thanks to everyone who commented on the mod and found it useful.Update v0.250: Return to chaos with the "Default" sort button. Too many mods? Scrolling is the solution! And persistence means no more recreating that special filter over and over; it's waiting for you when you start building.Update v0.200: Filter by part type, and now with made-to-order "Select All" and "De-Select All" action.Simple lightweight plugin that allows you to organize your parts in the VAB or SPH. This plug-in is designed for ease-of-use: one-click, intutive operation. It works from inside the game and does not modify your game file structure or naming. Allows you to sort and filter parts on the fly to make parts easier to find and de-clutter the part list. Decoupling is where it's at...When you just want to see the parts from one mod...Sort your parts by mass...You can download the Simple Part Organizer at the Spaceport here:http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-20-simple-part-organizer-v0-100-2/* Source is included in the zip file* I welcome feedback, even "Why are you wasting your time on this?" * This was developed on a Win7 machine, but there's no reason it shouldn't work cross-platform. Please let me know if it works for you.If you need MOAR POWER and/or flexibility for your part organization needs, you should try BlackNecro's Part Catalog. It's got everything a growing Kerbal could ask for... and more.Changelog:v0.250Fixes:- Made the mod filter window scrollable- Truncated text so it fits on the buttons- Internal changes to make more efficient codeAdditions:- Added Default button to the sort window- Filter settings now persistent between sessionsv0.200- Added filter regime: part type- Added Select All and De-Select All buttons to the filter panels- Changed license to GPLv3v0.100 - Initial release.- 5 sorting regimes: title, manufacturer, size, dry mass, total mass- 2 filtering regimes: mod, sizeTODO for next update:- Change the size filter so that it's useful and matches standard nomenclature (e.g. 1.25m, 2.5m, 3.75m, 5m)TODO longer term:- Add keystroke filter by name- Ascending and descending sortsWishlist:- "Like this" capability: dynamic filtering by part- Sort by arbitrary PartModule attributesRequired License Stuff:Licensed under GPLv3. Please refer to license.txt in the zip file. Edited August 27, 2014 by sjwt Added note regarding transfer to Felbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrutalRIP Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Nice Been waiting for something like this for my cluttered vab hope fully we can search by part tipe e.g. decouplers,engines etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabada Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thank you! This is awesome for people like me with a ton of mods, I'll try this out after work tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markotiks Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Thanks! Definitely a utility I was looking for. Works pretty well. One addition I would like to see is a filter option reversed to how the current filter works. It would be cool if I was just looking for Kethane parts to just click on the Kethane button rather than having to click every other mod I want filtered out. Don't know if that's possible but I think it would be a cool option. Great job though I will definitely get good use out of this mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to think of a way to have both. Thanks for the suggestion!I'm working on adding part type filters, e.g. show decouplers only, or engines only, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR4Y Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Would be/ interesting if you could do a "Select All" thing to add with having to click the the mod you want, also with the option of slecting multiple mods as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blspblackdeath Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 This is brilliant thanx.A sugestion: make the selections saveable. So that if you return to the VAB your filter stays as you put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZobrAA Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Issue report:Also "sort by default" button needed...Nevertheless this mod is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wybe21 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 What mods ad those tabs next to the science tab? The jigsaw piece I know is from subassembly loader, but I can't seem to find it for 0.20. And what are those two other tabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Shifty Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Issue report:Also "sort by default" button needed...Nevertheless this mod is gorgeous! Thanks for the report. I'll fix those with the next update, and I can store the original Part Loader sort to give you a default; no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fel Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Can you expand sort to support "recursive-sorting (or sub-sorting... or idk)" and interface with the PartModule config, hence allowing cool sorting i.e. (Okay, not all of those are in the right place, but general idea [and I meant that as the first two pages of my own propulsion tab, not separate sorts... I just manually sorted it to look like that.])Hence allowing sorts to become really complex, sorting by any value that is under the module config (ISPs, Resource Consumption, Range, [keeping it "determined by part" so that any mod can be added without a single line of code from you) or even sort by the resources (type, quantity of) in a particular object.

Mekan1k Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I have too many mods for this plugin. The "Mod View" button gives me a list that is longer than my screen. Could the update include a, well, scroll bar or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The algorithms to do this would be easy to write; what's hard is the GUI code. How would this look, keeping in mind that I'm shooting for simplicity of both design and use?

How would this look, keeping in mind that I'm shooting for simplicity of both design and use?Sub-sorts get rather messy... but having a "list of filters" might work. (First filter removes everything but Wings, second filter removes everything but Nose Cones, what is left is at the end); sort could potentially be attached to the filter.Perhaps a "Like This." You allow the player to "select" a part and then the mod will use that as the basis for the sort. (So if it is a RemoteTech dish, the plugin will allow you to "select" the remotetech module, then optionally select a value you with to create the "sorting criteria" with).*In fact, "Like This" could allow the selection of MULTIPLE parts; and you could filter out what isn't the same with them.
