Prepared Spells Filter
Hello,
Is it possible to be able to keep prepared spells as a filter ON even when you log off and log back in to Foundry?
I think it resets after a refresh as well. Might be a core problem, however just thought I would ask.
👋 Hello, thanks for posting and checking out Tidy 5e Sheets!
This is something Tidy 5e can control, but it comes with a few questions and considerations. In the spirit of transparency, I have been hesitant to strongly persist transient settings like search, filter, and expand/collapse beyond the browser tab lifetime.
For some users, getting a clean slate on a new session is familiar and expected. So, the default behavior of Tidy is something I'll have to consider if I add a feature to persist filtering.
Deciding where to store this information for individual users is also a big question--for example, do I store it on the browser or in Foundry (via an actor or user flag)? This kind of data has the potential to build up over time and make actor / user data files become larger and larger without a solid means cleaning it up, so I would be more likely to persist it on the browser's localdb, meaning crossing over to other browsers or clearing the browser's localdb / cache would require re-applying the filter, which should be a minor thing.
My initial thought was to add a setting so one could opt into this feature, but the trouble is, Client Settings are already browser-specific, so one would need a setting management module to keep that user setting across multiple browsers.
I guess this is all to say, I'll give it some more thought once I get through some of the current Tidy feature goals, but I am open to any thoughts or ideas about how to approach it.
Thank you kgar, for giving it some thought, I really appreciate it. I am far being techy or a coder therefore on that score I would struggle to help, however if I think of anything from a basic users perspective I will surely come back and add it here.
