Please give us back separate windows for items and ships.
The new inventory screen is nice, but it's nowhere near as functional as the current one. If it's not broken, don't fix it.Gäó |

The new Inventory screen would make a fantastic replacement for the Assets window.
It is a horrid replacement for the Ships and Items windows; it lacks the basic functionality inherent in those two separate windows. |

This is one of my biggest issues. It's a inventory UI. It shouldn't have a learning curve, it should simply be intuitive. The inventory system on SiSi is not intuitive at all.
Not being able to open more than one window seemed completely anti-EVE. I love how I can have all my cargo containers open, my ship bays, my items, all that; have them with nice big icons for quick and easy recognition. It's a great, simple UI. If there's a way to do any of that on SiSi, I have no idea. I couldn't be bothered playing around with it for long enough to try and figure it all out; mostly in hopes that it will be vastly improved upon before it's actually implemented.
I haven't been on SiSi in a couple days now and can't log onto it right now (is it down?), so hopefully there have been some improvements. |

Did you often drag items around from one browser window to the other?
The inventory UI is more akin to an OS UI, not a browser UI. Navigating OSX or Windows without being able to open multiple windows is just about the most ridiculous thing I could ever imagine.
The new UI is, overall, nice. It has HUGE basic functionality problems, however, when you compare it to the current one.
GÇó Much larger window size.
GÇó Shift-click is not intuitive like double-click.
GÇó You can't have separate "docked" windows that are always there when you dock up.
GÇó A whole mess of in-flight inconveniences.
Do NOT change an interface unless you can replicate the basic functionality of the old one. |

Yes. The problem is, this is innately unconventional and quite bothersome when you actually break it down.
A double click requires only one hand. Browsing, clicking, dragging; this is all down with one hand. By forcing an arbitrary "shift-click" command, you're making the interface two handed instead of one. That's double the hands. What if I'm holding a pizza, or a beer, or a cat, or what have you?
Jokes aside, it really is a very serious degression in basic interface logistics. Completely unintuitive, and counter to what every one who has ever used a GUI in their life will expect. Adding a second hand to what should be a one-hand command really is a huge no-no.
I'm also very happy to see a sudden swell of CCP posters in this thread, thank you for your feedback!
