Revamp asset pack selection #211

Closed samknaup closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If you have multiple asset packs installed, the only way to access them is via a dropdown, which only lets you look at one asset pack at a time. image

Describe the solution you'd like I think the best solution would be changing the dropdown to a checklist, so you could select multiple (or all) of your asset packs at once.

I have added an "All" filter in #141. This should be available in the next beta version.

This will show you all installed packs and you can also use the search function to search for a specific game then. Do you think there would be a benefit to additionally have the menu as a checklist? What would be the use case for selecting only a subset of them?

It would be best to have a window to select them before loading into the main screen, to prevent loading too many assets.

Gonna close for now, as I'm not 100% sure how often players would use this functionality. Since "All" is now the default view, it should suffice for most players to use the search bar to find what they need. Failing that, asset packs tend to be made for specific games, so in 90% of cases, it should be easy to tell what pack an asset belongs to, as long as the asset packs are named sensibly.
