But it doesn't because it is broken, it is still however a much better item window, if that one issue was fixed. The problem is that it's not just bugs GÇö it's an inherent inability to handle (or perhaps GÇ¥make use ofGÇ¥ is a better description) multiple windows. Shift-clicking is just a band-aid to get to those multiple windows GÇö it doesn't actually make them work properly.
You cannot a priori decide which window an inventory will open in.
You cannot make those additional windows appear and disappear automatically depending on context.
You cannot limit what does and does not appear in any given window.
You can adjust any window to show anything you like, but you have to do it manually and you can't have any pre-determined presets, and the only way to control this is through the tree view that takes up window real-estate. It's still very clear that the UI assumes that there is just one single inventory, and the rest of them are non-existent from the point of view of any external inventory activation. Admittedly, this is better than the earlier version where every window assumed it was the single inventory window and thus responded to such external triggers and would reset themselves at the drop of a hat.

That's kind of the red flag going up here: you could emulate the new system in the old one, but you can't really emulate the old system in the new one. This means the new system has lost a fair amount of functionality, even when (especially when) you consider the functionality that has actually been added.

Shift-click does nothing GÇö why the Unified Inventory isn't ready for primetime. |
