Realm Management / Organisation

[daplunk]

Hi Rob / Dave and who ever the new guy is,

We have discussed this before but I feel it needs to be raised again.

Can we please please please get some sort of system for managing realms within the Realm Works Launcher.

I now have 62 realms in my list!

That list is not going to shrink. It's going to keep growing. I will not delete realms because as we all know, exports you take now may not necessarily be compatible with future releases of Realm Works. I'm never going to take that risk of losing my data.

Just the ability to create a parent folder so we can put various realms into those folders would be a significant improvement. I would create an example structure like below in a heart beat and it would give me much better understanding of the mess that I currently have in my list.

* Campaign Realms
* Source Books
* Import Tests
* Official Data Entry

I would also love if you could add columns to the list.
Name | Sync Status | Topics | Last Update (Date)

This would allow more efficient management of the realms in our lists so we can easily identify things we are safe to delete etc.

I only have 7 realms right now, but 3 of them are templates, lol.

Also the ability to sort based on the columns Josh asked for.

+1. Don't have much realms at this time, but the parent concept would be a great ideal.

 

[Lexin]

+1. I think this would be helpful as my list of realms grows.

 

[Grey Mage]

Have to give this one a +1... needed as realms spawn.

I hope that one day you'll be able to select the realms your loading (and in which order) and RW will do the job

....err +1

 

[ruhar]

+1 I agree. GMs NEVER throw things away.

 

[Valyar]

+1

+1 I agree. GMs NEVER throw things away.

You mean GMs are supposed to NEVER...

 

[Conandy]

+1. This has yet to become and issue for me, but I think this sounds like good basic functionality that will benefit most, including me as I start duplicating realms for different campaigns and possibly rule-sets.

 

[mithrandiryod]

I know I'm new here, but I'd like to +1 this also. You can never have enough organization options for campaigns.

I've currently solved this issue using prefixes.
Campaign: XYZ
Source Book: XYZ
Adventure Module: XYZ

But, +1 to the idea of a better way to organize the list (with more info on each realm)
