Sort by author
Published on May 30, 2018 By teddybearcholla In WindowBlinds

Is it possible to sort the windowblinds by author, instead of alphabetically?  If not, is it possible that that option can be created?   Having so many skins, I hate scrolling up and down to figure out which one I want.  Just a thought. 

Thanks, in advance

Thank you Tom, but that is my page.  I guess I wasn't clear, which does happen.  You, Tom create Windowblind skins, so does Neon6, RetiredMaster, DaveBax, Don, Greg, and a whole slew of others.   On my pc I have loads of windowblind skins installed, but they go alphabetical.  I would like to see a choice, between alphabetical and by author.  So when I want a Lightstar blind, I just go to your folder on my pc in the windowblinds configuration window.....or whatever would work.

In wbconfig you can type an author's name in the search bar and a list of blinds by that author only will show.

I think what you are wanting to do is do it right in WindowBlinds. Since you most likely have every skin loaded you just want to pick from the ones you actually have downloaded to WB. 

Is this what you are wanting to do Barb? As normal I may be totally off base here.

I agree 100%.

Ah, is it just me or did Hanker's point out that using search would likely work pretty good for now?  And, since it would just show the Blinds matching the Author name searched, that would result in a smaller number to view?

    It works.  But then you have to know the author.  It helps, but not exactly what I had in mind.

Not exactly Dave.  

ALMonty gets it! 

Agreed BigDogBigFeet, but still I think my idea would be easier., but maybe not.

I get it, not as often as I would like, but I get it.

Quoting teddybearcholla,

I didn't know that, handy feature for sure, thanks, Hank!

I, too, would like to be able to sort installed WBs by author in WB config.  This is what she meant, Dave.
