Feature request - Add Folders to sort your Dzvents/blockey and lua scripts in

Post by tillo »

Feature summary

Possibility to add folder to the event scripts. To sort all your Dzvents/blocky and lua scripts into.


Problem
When your having a lot of different scripts its hard to keep track of all of them. Yes there is a filter feature but still,
its sometimes very hard to find what you looking fore if you don't remember what you looking for it could take you sometime.

Solution
If you could sort it into a folder structure (maybe just a 1 level folder structure) that would help the user out a lot to quicker find the correct script and also neatly sort the scripts into category's (Light, Environment, Sensors etc.) or rooms (Bathroom, Bedroom etc.)

I recognize the problem. DzVents is a small marvel and I use it a lot, so the list keeps growing.
Some folder system could be a nice solution.

Currently, I use the first part of script names to categorize them. F.e., all my script concerning blinds start with 'blinds', etc. That makes it easy to find them, even without filtering.
The only minus is that I have to change the script names when I change the category, but that has not happened yet.
