Ability to Assign Character to Various Folders

212 Votes Supported!

So one suggestion I see in high demand is the ability to assign characters into multiple folders, and it's a bit confusing why this hasn't been addressed considering there's been many more accounts of this being suggested? At least to my knowledge, it has not, here's a few other threads about it:

These go back to even THREE YEARS, and for being such a useful feature I feel like it should finally be at least considered by the admins. (I could be wrong and it might've, but I wouldn't have noticed it.)

- Multiple Universes: This feature would be useful for characters that belong to multiple universes, having to create another character just to have it in another folder wastes time. Tabs can be used for that, but you'd have to go to the wrong folder to find what you're looking for.

- Specific Sorting: It can also be used for more 'detailed' searching, such as having every character in a base folder and the sub-folders being more specific for easier browsing. This can also be useful for sales, for example: a base folder has all the characters that are for sale, and the sub-folders have specific categories like "cats" or "dogs". If you're just looking for dogs to purchase, you could go to that sub-folder to see just the dogs.

(If you have another idea of how this could be helpful please reply with it!)

And please, if this feature is considered, it would be ideal for there to be no limit on how many folders can be assigned.

A poll has been attached to keep track of the supporters of this. Feel free to share this around to help it finally be accounted for!

+1! I’ve talked about this before, but seeing as a lot of my stories take place in the same universe, it would make my life so much easier to put characters in multiple folders as I sort them into stories and some are in many rather than just one. Split tabs does not help this as my characters almost never change AT ALL when in different stories, they look exactly the same.

Also, having characters fit into multiple folders works really well for a directory!! You can sort them into series, favourites (for if people want to draw them or offer on them, yes you can use tags for that but folders are much easier for me to visualise personally), universe, species (again, tags, but it’s still hard to visualise and find all the species tags without the characters on the same page).

With tags, if they want that to work, there should be a tag sorting option, because I have so many tags and it’s hard to find what I need. Like tag folders or something. You can make one for the species tags, one for availability tags, etc.

Until this is added, I've been creating a new character and leaving it in unsorted. Then I label the character as whatever folder I want it to be (commissioned, a world, etc), make a image for the avatar, and then just go to the characters I want to be together and editing them to have the fake folder as a character.

You can see a example of it in use by looking in my unsorted and viewing the Commissioned image!

This is something I really need as some characters are of multiple species and I need this for better organization
