I love the dividers!
anya.ohmai
oh that has helped me SO MUCH - i placed dividers into sub categories too so that it helps me visually as well
anya.ohmai
I did links so that I can tweak those dividers quickly in the future if need be - but thats been helping me sooooo much

OH SMART SMART
anya.ohmai
ColeMarieSoleil: I was so desperate when I did this, the entire inventory system seriously makes my life hell in SL, so I thought i'd try and figure it out before I just... give up lol

I love this system, going to borrow this idea, thanks for sharing!
anya.ohmai
No problem! oh and: 
if this is helpful to anyone

its essentially arranged in ASCII but I did this to help myself cause I'm not that smart LOL
❄ annette ❄
oh the dividers look great. hmm might have to do that for mine!
🧜♀️Nivaya🌟
THAT is extremely helpful. My inventory is over 200k and everything is just organized with ! (and then multiple !!!!! is I want to separate stuff out)
🧜♀️Nivaya🌟
You're the beeeeessst <3
❄ annette ❄
OH AND THAT CHART IS HANDY TOO LOL i have trouble naming to keep them at the top sometimes
anya.ohmai
🧜♀️Nivaya🌟
: omg I died at 150k so I can't imagine 200k tbh thats SERIOUS PAIN I FEEL YOU
anya.ohmai
❄ annette ❄
: haha yes no problem! So the space is the only one that doesn't seem to work kay, like it works then you relog and its all the way at the bottom
anya.ohmai
so I'd avoid just doing a space and empty folder name
🧜♀️Nivaya🌟
clears her throat A sample of my organizing system:

🧜♀️Nivaya🌟
: LOL that looked like mine when I originally started XD
anya.ohmai
I had !ALL and ! REALLY ALL and ! NEW
anya.ohmai
lol and they were all mixed up
🧜♀️Nivaya🌟
Lately everything goes into that last folder haha
anya.ohmai
What I did to really force myself to sort was to throw everything into my objects folder vs making a folder for !ALL. That way I had to sort out unopened items too
🧜♀️Nivaya🌟
I go through my Objects fairly regularly, just rez EVERYTHING out and unpack it....but then I just end up tossing everything from that into the "I'm drowning" folder.....thus further drowning myself >.<
RoseBun Foofoo
mine is a massive mess but ive got little folders like this ALL OVER and some order is happening slowly
anya.ohmai
🧜♀️Nivaya🌟
: btw I went down from 150k to like... 45k now and still sorting through, my secondlife shadows and lag have never been better lol
RoseBun Foofoo
omg how did u do it
anya.ohmai
RoseBun Foofoo
: yesss me too since I started doing it back in 2011, I've had little folders but I spent the last 2 weeks i think? Kinda just going through this intensely
RoseBun Foofoo
share ur secrets
RoseBun Foofoo
thats what i wanna do after i finish rewind
RoseBun Foofoo
im starting now with appliers as a break from meshing
RoseBun Foofoo
but i think i broke sl :"3
anya.ohmai
like i remember back in 2011 when I started my inventory sorting I kept a lot of stuff to take pictures of because I was a blogger mostly? And then I realized over the years I don't really... blog like a blogger anymore. I did lookbooks but not BLOG. So I really don't need to keep some quirky interesting things that i'd never wear on a daily basis XD
anya.ohmai
I think basically, I got boring LOL
anya.ohmai
I found that the heavier my inventory was, the more instances I broke SL D:
Santa Bunny

anya.ohmai
I split my decor items into 4 categories: 
and its really based on what I use btw, so like... some stuff that might be bits and bobs for people, because i ALWAYS use I put into interiors or exteriors

I DO I DO
Santa Bunny
yeah that's were I struggle cos is what I use the most. like when u buy a pack and u get different parts dunno how to sort.
Santa Bunny
and gacahs omg
horrorz♥
Ohhhhh the dividers are such a great idea!!!!
anya.ohmai
Santa Bunny
: yes same, I honestly sort it based on my own head you know? Like how I see certain items to be - if you feel better sorting it by packs do that too! I did that for some things like... YOUR ITEMS 
SEE IN TACT LOL
SEE IN TACT LOL
The Aiko
anya.ohmai
: where do you keep those folders once you finish loading them and is your objects folder sorted that way too?
Santa Bunny
omgggg
anya.ohmai
The Aiko
: which folders do you mean? And my objects folder I use it as my un sorted folder (my thought was, vs creating 1 for that, all new objects go there anyway) so everytime I buy something new I toss it into my objects folder. Then I'll spend weekly/biweekly sorting that into my actual required folders
anya.ohmai
So I'm sorta forced to unpack is essentially how I'm treating my objects folder lol (if not i have things from 3 years ago I haven't unpacked D
The Aiko
anya.ohmai
: the folders you show in the pic. Do you just leave them there or do they get put into say the clothing folder if they apply to that.
anya.ohmai
The Aiko
: OH yes! So it's basically folders nestled within folders! at the end when you collapsed them all it just looks like
at the end when you collapsed them all it just looks like
anya.ohmai
I try not to use the system folders - I only use objects, landmarks and animation (ignore clothing it should be gone by today LOL) everything else I use my own created folders
The Aiko
anya.ohmai
: ah! So that's your entire inventory with all folders collapsed what I saw?
anya.ohmai
yes! the rest of the images in this plurk are expanded views of it lol

: totally my bad: 
so that with the rest of the inventory ui
so that with the rest of the inventory ui
anya.ohmai
it looks less intimidating when you log in to see things like that, at least for me
The Aiko
anya.ohmai
: omg you don't even want to know what I do hahahaha. I am motivated now to seriously sort. Thank you! I'm almost 10 you think I would have done this. I'm not a creator tho but I have at least 65k to go thru. Haha
The Aiko
anya.ohmai
: ah then sub folders in those I love it you can see everything. Your clothes folder must be so glorious haha
anya.ohmai
The Aiko
: Oh don't worry XD I've never been neat till this year as my own personal resolution tbh... so a lot of us are in the boat of just hecking the inventory!
Jules
my object folder is a nightmare
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
someone needs to make these folders already and put them in a box to unpack for us to all use in our own inventories to sort to
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
sell me your folders
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
lol
anya.ohmai
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
: LOL can you box up folders? what is this new thing?!
VeronikaObviate
I wish I had the patience to sort it like that
Niiiigel
Oooh, I like those dividers. steals
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
I'm sure someone can script that, other wise you would have to make a box for each, titled it the name of the folder I think wait no there has to be I got something off marketplace once, that was delivered to my inventory in a folder, that had 4 folders of items in it.
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
yeah maybe if you had the folders, with a nc as an item in each, then bundled them up for sale or for free on marketplace, they should deliver as folders I think
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
yup 
anya.ohmai
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
: oooooo that's so awesome!! Lemme see if I can do that! Just the main large sections first right? Cause the internal sub folders seem like it'd make more sense made personally?
Rainbow Mubble
anya.ohmai
: can I ask how you organise gacha sets? do you keep them together in their own folder?
anya.ohmai
Rainbow Mubble
: so I think this really depends on the gacha sets and how you treat them. For me, some sets I think are better apart because they're a mix of really random objects (sets from 8f8 are a good example) so I split them based on my own categories since I never keep folders for decor anyway. For the sets like lets say aime's Happiness Is set...
anya.ohmai
where its a series of the same type of item, statue/figurine in this case, I keep them in its own folder under Sculpture
Rainbow Mubble
anya.ohmai
: thanks! I always find gachas the hardest to sort, I used to split them but then I like to keep them all together because it doesn't feel right haha! maybe I can do links or something so they're also in an appropriate folder
Rainbow Mubble
you've really started something here haha!
anya.ohmai
Rainbow Mubble
: LOL I know what you mean XD I personally always mix and match for clothing and decor so I tend to have less heart ache over splitting things up. But sorting is highly dependent on really how your individual mind works, my categories probably make zero sense to a lot of people 
̈*✶Whimsy✶* ̈
idk maybe make a few folders inside the others so people get the idea and can take it further for their own but at least like a prompt
anya.ohmai
TakagiGraves: hahaha I'm in the airport as we speak but what are you looking for? I'm actually done I think!! I'm left with saving all textures on my computer as well as poses and animation!
anya.ohmai
So far I'm at 31k 
might be the lowest I can go
might be the lowest I can go
✴Sparkling✴
do you delete the boxed item after you upack it?
anya.ohmai
✴Sparkling✴
: yup! I do! I only keep packaging if I wanna use it for decor - plaaka's packaging for example I tend to keep
