When playing with mods, when you add a filter to a dispenser there may not be enought space
for all items to be shown.
I suggest a way of searching the items, like typing the name in a bar.
Not enought space to show everything (filter inserter)
Re: Not enought space to show everything (filter inserter)
The current slots per line is 10.
So I changed, until you have less than 140 items to show (14 lines), it is kept to be 10.
When it is higher, the width of one line gets higher.
In the 1280X720 resolution, this should provide roslution for many items.

That's nice, but can't be the whole solution for the problem: Maybe there will be much more items in the future with 20 mods? Better to implement a more universal solution. (Not really important, but should be done for the final release.)

Well, we can use item groups as with recipes when this is not enough.
Re: Not enought space to show everything (filter inserter)
A search feature would be also good for finding what you want between lots of items
Re: Not enought space to show everything (filter inserter)
It is option as well, you would write, and the list would filter items containing the string you already wrote.
But we would have to be careful to not let the gui be too complicated.

True, but what is worse, a wall of (unsorted) items on the screen or a wall of items + a textfield that can be used to search for items? Definetly the first one.kovarex wrote:But we would have to be careful to not let the gui be too complicated.
Anyway I would prefer the tab-solution like for the crafting for the moment
Re: Not enought space to show everything (filter inserter)
Could really use a search box, or categories like crafting. Im adding about 25 new items to my mod, screen is getting a little crowded when running my mod with f-mod, blueprints, industrio, more inserters and treefarm.

Seems like the tab solution is a popular one. I like it too:) It keeps the consistency with what we already have.
