Categories/Folders for your Macros

I play a Human Rogue, giving her a ton of moves, feats and skills to keep track of. It would be nice to be able to make customized folders in the Macro menu to keep all of your macros organized. Having a folder for your at-wills, and a separate one for your encounter powers and so on would really help keep them all straight. Just make a folder, make a macro, then drag and drop it into the folder. Next time you need to edit a move you won't have to go sorting through everything to find it!

Not a bad idea.

I agree, I like this.

I like this too! I'd like to also add in (and I think others have said this at various points) the ability to organize the macro bar. As DM, even in a small fight, I have enough macros to extend off the screen. Even if the buttons just wrapped, it'd be easier.

Chiming in with this. Sounds like a good idea!

For the DM aspect it would be nice if you could attach said folder to a map. So that when I move to a new map the macros in that maps folder would open up.

Agreed. This would make it much easier to handle all the loads of macros one is likely to accrue with a game of any complexity higher than Heads or Tails.

This is an extension of something I previously posted. xD So I obviously agree.

I agree as well. I am starting to see the handouts grow as I introduce NPCs and such. A folder style grouping (with foldout/ expand collapse styling) would be immensely useful.

Oops, totally mixed my threads up. A folder for Macros would be as useful if not more than handouts. Sorry.

The posters raise a good point: How about just folders for everything? --DMs get to create and organize folders for maps and for characters, allowing them to have a folder of "Party characters" and a folder of "NPCs", followed by sorted folders of "Maps" and bounties at the bottom of the page. ((Sidenote: We're running a nine-person party with various NPCs flitting in and out, our list gets a liiiittle long.)) --DM folders for macros would let them more-easily have reoccurring villains or monster types, like zombies. Folder for "Zombies" and folder for "That one Villain". --Players get folders for their Macros, letting them categorize their macros and also group them by character if they play more than one per campaign (like I soon will). FOLDERS ARE GOOD. PEOPLE ENJOY ORGANIZING.

The posters raise a good point: How about just folders for everything? I agree. Now, extending your point of folders for everything a bit further: Even the Roll20 Jukebox would be easier to organize with folders. No thread derailing, I'm extending this in another post. EDIT: I didn't start a new thread for it, but I posted my thoughts in the already existing thread "Managing Tracks in the Jukebox" (<a href="http://community.roll20.net/discussion/1136/managing-tracks-in-the-jukebox/p1" rel="nofollow">http://community.roll20.net/discussion/1136/managing-tracks-in-the-jukebox/p1</a>)
