Idea 1: Auto-naming removed

In the current version of Scratch, costume names are automatically changed.

If I had these costumes: thing1, thing2 and I added a new costume named thing45, that new costume would be renamed thing3. This becomes a major problem when you use this...
switch to costume (join [thing] (variable))
...because once the costumes rename themselves, the script can't find the right one. This auto-naming function is annoying and its flaws outweigh its benefits. It should be removed in 2.0.

Without auto-naming, when I copy a costume thing1 it shall be renamed thing1-1. If I am renaming a costume and that name is taken, it will report "A costume with that name already exists".

Idea 2: Better ways to reorder costumes

You should be able to scroll while you are dragging a costume.

You should be able to automatically alphabetize the costumes.

There should be a zoomed-out "grid view" where you can see all the costumes.

Idea 3: Better compression

You should be able to select one single costume and compress it. The current method of image compression is all-or-nothing.

180 second posting rule got me again.

I agree, with one exception: In your example about copying thing1, I think they should keep the current behavior. It seems "thing3" is a better guess for what you want to call it than "thing1-1", and if not, well you can always change it. But what I am in complete agreement that it should never rename a costume the user as explicitly named.

Although these wouldn't really be a use to me now, they may be one day, so support.

That's true.

support, very annoying especially for me with 100+ costumes in most projects.
I wish it works like the normal Windows Explorer.

I agree. It is so annoying when it renames the costume! Another thing is, if you have these costumes:
Thing1
Thing2
Thing3
And you deleted "Thing2", made another costume and tried to name it "Thing2" it names it "Thing4"!!! > sad

Support, this is really annoying.

Also, with the compression thing, same with sounds. Also, give the option of not compressing images but compressing sounds, or vice versa.

But I think he/she meant that you should be able to compress sounds like the way you are suggesting images should be able to be compressed
Anyway, I support, and because of the new file format 2.0 will use, this should be very easy!

What? How did I never notice that? Thanks!!

Total suppourt. Perhaps also not jumping to the top of the list after you rename a costume.
