Dear C.C.P., please revise the buddy list from the current one-column model to a two-column design.
One column on the left would be for user-named folders and the default 'all buddies' folder. A second column, on the right, would be for folder contents.
This would allow for practical management of buddies. The best example would be as follows:
When the Eve client undergoes a major upgrade such as to Apocrypha or from Apocrypha to Dominon, the player generated folders are lost -leaving one list of all buddies only. Recreating folders in the present one-column system is very impractical in that, once a new folder is created and, by the time a player selects a buddy in the list and attempts to drag the buddy to the new folder, the buddy is no longer visible. By having folders on the left and folder contents on the right, this problem of organization would be eliminated. Organizing could then be done by dragging the buddy from the right column list to the appropriate folder in the left column.
Thank you.

Also annoying how once you have a certain amount of people in a particular folder it can become impossible to move them as you can't reach the other folder when your list extend well beyond screen height.
Being able to reduce the size of entries would also be nice, something around the size of when you put items in list view.

Yes also a right click context menu item to assign buddies to folders in the same way that you can move drones into groups would be awesome. Additionally/or a drop down in the 'add to address book' dialogue that lets you sort them to a group immediately.

I found the following steps to work for grouping people:
Hold down the control key while selecting a couple dozen buddies. Click and hold one of the selected buddies in the group, pulling them off to the side. A window appears with the selected buddies within it.
Using the down arrow key numerous times will reveal the player-created folders -but don't let go of the left mouse button yet.
Once those folders are in view, the group of selected buddies can be dropped onto the folder of choice.
It's not a pleasant experience and could definitly be improved by implementing the two column idea. |
