I was testing new inventory on singularity and I must say it is major pain in the butt. I have flowing problems with it:
1) it does not memorise window settings (size and activated options) relatively to specific type of item compartment being examined.
2) can not be compacted to be as small as old inventory windows could
3) requires more clicking to perform basic actions and lacks automatic windows closing and opening functions of old system
For example when docked I have my base inventory open and in separate window I have my ships open. I close inventory window and unlock but my ship window remains open and now shows cargo of the ship, instead of simply closing as it did before. One needles click more to close it, and of course about 3 more needles needles clicks when I dock to open my inventory and from it again separate ships hangar window.
Then in space I eject some junk to see how loot window looks and to my surprise it occupies good part of my screen as it uses size I had inventory window stretched in station. This is very bad. I resize my loot window to manageable size, click loot all, but instead of auto closing as it did before now it reverts to my cargo, so I have to manually close it. I already can imagine what a pain it would be to use this now system when looting and salvaging in my noctis. But more annoyance comes when I dock up and open my inventory. Surprise! It is now of the same size I had it set to loot that container in space and I have to stretch it up to size more fitting to manage station inventory, and ,of course, separate window for may ship hangar because it no longer can be set to open on its own in separate when docked up in station. 
CCP you did good work with with filter options and auto price calculator, and I appreciate that but new systems removes good part of functionality of old inventory system and you can not deploy it on main server in condition it is now. It needs more work. You need to give it back ability to memorise size and position depending on type of inventory compartment that is being examined, and for windows to auto open and close when appropriate. Also it would be nice if you could make it possible to shrink those new windows to smaller size as it was possible with old inventory windows. |
