Items and Summary questions

[Grimmric]

I am a newbie with Hero Labs but love it so much.
I have a couple of questions. And if there is no solution, then my questions goes into a wish-list.
And my first character I use it on is an Elf Alchemist. Just telling, because some of the questions might be specific.
Here goes.

1) If I find stuff I don’t want to carry around but still want to keep. Like in a house in town for example.
Can I register it somewhere? I might not want to carry a cursed helm I found, but want it on display in my house. Things I want to keep in the house could be magic weapons I don’t use but don’t want to sell, a full alchemy lab, throne, stuffed dragons head, books found in an enemies library, a lot of scrolls and potions, spellbook (I use a travelling spellbook) and so on.
The encumbrance would be misleading if I write it on my hero.

2) I love the summary and it’s an easy way to see, for example, how much a weapon do when I add power attack or point blank shot.
But I would like to be able to decide what weapon I see in summary and which weapon to hide.
I have bow, sword and bombs that I want to see.
But I don’t want to see blunt arrows, silver arrows, cold iron arrows and normal arrows in the summary. I will never fight with those in hand-to-hand combat. It shows four posts with a 1d4 damage.
Same with unarmed. I want it in the tab for reference but not in summary.
Maybe a checkbox “Don’t show in summary”?

3) As it doesn’t exist an app for android, I use my small computer with a 10” screen.
It doesn’t take up too much room on the table.
But as I can only see 3 columns of summary on screen I need to hide and rearrange summary every time I play.
It would be nice to have a possibility to load a “summary profile”.
Then I can start my session just showing basic, weapons and skills summary.
It’s not a big deal, but it would be a nice feature.

Thanks in advance

1) I created a hireling named Storehouse (once you choose him you can change his name to whatever you want). He has no class, no race, etc. He is just a place to store things. Once you have chosen him just click the bag icon on the item you don't want to carry and Give To Storehouse (or whatever). This way none of the items appear under your item heading but they do appear on Storehouse's stat black or you can print out the sheet for Storehouse. With Storehouse being a separate entity you can keep notes about the place on its character sheet.

1) The third item on the list of gear to purchase is named "-Custom Location-" Once you've added that, you can rename it "Home", or whatever location it is, and then move the gear there.

But I would like to be able to decide what weapon I see in summary and which weapon to hide.

My Adjustments addon has an adjustment called "Weapon Hide" & "Weapon Hide on Print out" that can hide a weapon always or on a character sheet only.

Thank you all.
Very good information.
I got my answer for number 1 really quick.
Custom Location was exacly what I was looking for.
I will also try your file, ShadowChemosh, and see what it will do.
It looks promising though.
