Folders inside the Scratch program.

In future releases of Scratch, I would really love to see folders in which you can organize your sprites. I've often had difficulty locating a certain sprite when I have a lot of sprites in a game. Organizing sprites will also help to keep the number of icons in the sprite area down.

Re: Folders inside the Scratch program.

I suggested this several years ago - (here) - and I still support.

I support!  smile  It would save a lot of space and help prevent the glitch where the scroll bar in the sprite list won't appear.  big_smile

Re: Folders inside the Scratch program.

Great idea!

How do you think it would be implemented within the interface?

I think if we want to get this idea to the Scratch team, we should have a good mockup  smile

Re: Folders inside the Scratch program.

Scripts folders and naming scripts would be good as well.

Well, that might be a little harder considering browsing the scripts is dealt with quite differently than sprites.

Like different script construction zones in the same sprite? :S

I'm not so supportive about that one... I can't exactly explain why, though.  hmm

Re: Folders inside the Scratch program.

A great idea! I really need some good organization while spriting.  wink
