Inventory Count by Individual Folder

[Alicia Parrish]

Is there a way to find out the number of items in an individual folder?  For instance, I would love to know how much of my inventory were actual items vs. how many were links (like in outfits).  Does that make sense?

Also is there any way to see what the total item count of a search might be -- i.e. if i search for "shirt", is there a way to know how many items are in my inventory with "shirt" in the name?

Any tricks about how to show this would be greatly appreciated!!

After 21 I run out of fingers and toes and other parts.

And Martians only have three toes. So... do the math.

Well, there is a way. But it's not pretty, and it's a bit of a chore.  It involves going to the Beta Grid...  

First, change your SL password, and wait 24 hours.  Then log onto the Beta Grid.  If you are using the SL viewer, you need to go to the advanced tab of preferences, and check the box to show Grid Selection at login.  (Once you change, you can change back to your old password.  I usually wait an hour, but I think I am being conservative.)

When you first log in to Beta Grid after a password change, it will make a copy of your inventory, mostly just current inventory.  Some strange behaviors with groups and friends and calling cards, but mostly it shows your current inventory on the main grid.

Now, open inventory, go to the recent tab of inventory, type in a random string, and wait till your inventory builds, and the number of items in inventory settles down to the grand total. 

Now the fun part. Write down the number of items.  Best save it off in a spreadsheet.  Start deleting your stuff.  Delete and purge.  It will have no effect on your main grid inventory,  But after each delete/purge, you can write down the total number of items in inventory.  Folder by folder can be a bit tedious, so you can also delete  related groups all at once.

 

Hey, I *told* you it wasn't pretty.  But it works!

Thanks for posting the workaround.  I don't know if I have the stamina to do it, but it's good to know.

What I want to know is why they count Links and Notecards as part of inventory. I think those sould actualy be seprate.
