 icon Hold Folders (+1)  
I was just thinking that it would be nice if I could create folders within the "change location" menu. All of my holds have gotten a little unwieldly, even if they're in alphabetical order. Personal topical divisions would be excellent. Even muti-layered hide/show menus would be great.

If
A. This is already a feature in 2.0
B. There was some post about before
C. It's going to be in 3.0

Then could you please
A. Slap me
B. Reconsider it
C. Allow me to express my thanks

respectively.

I like it. The division on Conquered/Explored not conquered/Unexplored is already made in the highscores section, so why not ingame?

Yes, I like it too. I would also like to have the difficulty/fun rating available for all holds ingame.

Mike just told me it's okay to tell you that 3.0 does have some functionality that may be what you're looking for. You will be able to apply one of the following filters to the hold list in the Change Location menu:

* All
* New
* In Progress
* Conquered
* Unconquered
* Mastered
* Unmastered
* CaravelNet
* non-CaravelNet
* CaravelNet Beta
* CaravelNet Updated

I imagine this will only work for all holds within the folder you are currently looking at, so being able to create new folders won't be as useful once this functionality is being used. And of course, the usual disclaimer that this is all still being developed and there may be changes, possibly due to user feedback, etc.

Game on,

As you said first above, this filter works for holds in the hold list, including non-installed CaravelNet holds. It doesn't apply to non-installed .hold files on disk, so what folder holds are imported from is a non-issue.

While we're on the topic of holds - would it be possible to automatically download holds from CaravelNet that are missing when importing a player file? :)

That would be awesome, especially since you currently delete all progress in non-imported holds when you import a player.
