Hi, I'm Gerry and apparently, I am addicted to buying FG modules.

So.. I have a feature request. I have 143 modules (no, I do not load them all at one time (but I have just to see what happens)). On the Data Module Activation window, it would be handy to have a couple more buttons at the bottom of the window - a quick filter to show only LOADED modules and one to show only UNLOADED modules. Yes, I know there is a search box, but I think this would still be useful.
Thanks for considering!

Oh, and Rob Twohy is my spirit animal.

Thanks!
Gerry

lol, I guess it should not surprise me to hear Rob described as an animal, I suspect he will like that!

I don't think this has been added to the Wishlist (https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/)(I couldn't find it) but it would be the preferred place to make such a request. But I agree with you, the module activation window could use a re-write :)

Personally, I would like the modules to sort themselves into the categories/groupings that they have defined withing them, like once you activate them they show up in the library with various groupings.

There's already a filter for loaded modules - click the "All" button to the right of the search field.

Anything else, check the Wishlist and if it's not there already add it in.

I feel your pain Gerry. I too buy modules on a whim....but don't you get tired of opening up the module activation window and seeing nothing but Rob2e for rows upon rows!!!!

Excellent! Thanks for the pointer to the Wishlist!

O_o I had no idea that button did that! That'll help quite a bit, thank you!

Rob is so prolific, I suspect he is actually several clones of himself. I pretty much buy anything he writes, and his conversions are always highest quality.
At least for his personal mods, he uses the same "icon" so theyre easy to spot in the list.

Idea added to wishlist with alternative - given Trenloe pointing out the ALL button becomes a "Loaded" filter when clicked, I also suggested a third state for the button to show "UNloaded" mods. Thanks guys!

I shudder to think how much money I have spent... all the Mods I have bought, every licensed WOTC mod and Ultimate by subscription for 3 years now. And those mods are only my 5e stuff... then there is PF and SW. Doug should buy me dinner :D

Obviously I should just buy a permanent license.

Wow! But I feel your pain. Shoutout to Rob, though. I too am a big fan of his as I assume most of us are. You should watch his Twitch stream, particularly All Things Fantasy Grounds. Seems like every time you turn around he has a guest who is giving away an Ultimate License. And the sooner the better. His viewer count is starting to track upward decreasing your odds of winning a prize draw.
