Item Quantity Display

[A1exanderWebb]

Currently in settings there is the option to only display item quantity when an object is hovered over by the user, or to always display the quantity of all items. It would be nice if there was an option to always display item quantity specifically for all items that have a quantity higher than 1.

The inventory becomes slightly cluttered if all quantities are displayed, and a substantial majority of items in a dnd players inventory are typically singular items that will never have a quantity higher than 1, making displaying the quantity of those items generally unnecessary. However, it is useful to be able to see at a glance (without hovering the mouse over each individual item) how many of some commonly carried consumables are available, such as healing potions of various rarity or the number of remaining arrows and magical arrows.

Hello, thank you for the feedback.

For items with quantities, I've have the plan to rework item quantity. #99 The initial plan is to do what dnd5e, pf2e, and a5e are doing with quantities, and including them as an actual column for inventories. This would ultimately eliminate the show/hide options for item quantity and make it something more reliably present.

There is another goal to offer custom column selection #60, which could provide some flexibility to alter the column setup for the individual inventory sections.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts about those plans.

A quantity column sounds like a great solution, the parenthesis next to every item creates a lot of clutter, but a distinct column for quantity would fit well into the sheets aesthetic and not create very much needed clutter.

Custom column selection sounds like a very good feature as well, however how much use I see it getting depends on what details become viewable in those columns. If it is just the current information plus quantity, I would just leave everything on, but if things like save type or damage/damage type become available in columns then I definitely see some value in customizing what is displayed based on categories or item types.

This is good information for me. Thank you.

The dedicated column is on the way in the next release, probably in 2 days.

It ended up being 4 days 😅 Tidy 2.8.0 has the new dedicated quantity column: https://github.com/kgar/foundry-vtt-tidy-5e-sheets/releases/tag/v2.8.0
