A way to make the backpack more organized

YubNubEwok

One time I was working on a collab and I had way too many things in my backpack, so my suggestion would be to add tabs to the backpack.
There would be 4 different tabs:
Scripts
Sprites
Costumes + backgrounds
Sounds

When you open up the backpack, you can view everything, but when you click a specific tab, it would only show the items in your backpack that correspond with the tab.

I purpose maybe you can make folders for certain things and maybe a search bar to go along with the naming option.

Thought I'd just go into more depth about this suggestion proposed by I-Iz-A-Litten. So basically, there could be another tab for folders. You can create a folder in this tab and put in sprites, scripts, sounds, costumes, backgrounds and such, just to have this even more organized for something like, let's say, a MAP or a collaboration.

Along with this, I also propose a way to ‘name’ scripts and a search bar to search for the scripts (search bar proposed by I-Iz-A-Litten).
If you've got a lot of scripts in your backpack and you're looking for a specific one for your project, and it could take a while to find the script you are looking for, and you could also search for a name of a script if you needed.

How this suggestion would work would be that when you put a script into your backpack, it'll ask you for a name for your script. With the search bar, there would be a tiny search bar in that gray area where the arrow is to open and close the backpack, and you could type in the name or keywords you're looking for in a script and it would pull up. This would be useful for if you're doing a project with a lot of scripts or something.

(Here's another topic about naming scripts.)

Support! I especially like the naming scripts/sounds/costumes idea because if I have an intro, I can have an intro script named “Intro” and the same for my intro music and intro visuals.

Yes, this would be so much easier (my backpack is so full) Support!

Full support, I am working on a project and since I am going to make little bits with my test account, it's gonna be hard scrolling through the “pack” to get certain assets.

Full support! I can never find anything in my kinda really full backpack

Full support! This would make things in the Backpack much easier to find, especially for people who have more stuff in their Backpack.

Full support. The backpack is and amazing feature, and this would make it 10x more simple and easier to work with.

What about sprites? Would they have their own part of the backpack?

Oh, yeah, they definitely would. I forgot to add that, sorry.

Naming Scripts is a dupe,
but I fully support the tabs! It's really hard for me to stay organized without putting in a fairly large amount of time, and I have to scroll and scroll and scroll past tons of sound files to find that one sprite I need.

How have I not posted here before?

Anyways. Support for all! I can really see how this would help make this much easier to use!
