Group furniture items in category

[Golia]

Hello
I really like the project
Thanks Lizard2k1
I am Italian and I have difficulties with English, I would like to add myself as a beta tester, I hope to be able to follow you.
I'm trying your project, but I do not understand how it filters the elements.
If I can suggest I would only filter the first part of the string, which could be a code to filter the categories, for example

first class (p = 56)
name # 1 = BaseAP56H72 from015
name # 2 = BaseAP56H72 from030
name # 3 = BaseAP56H72 from040
name # 4 = BaseAP56H72 from045

second category (p = 45)
name # 9 = BaseAP45H72 from015
name # 10 = BaseAP45H72 from030
name # 11 = BaseAP45H72 from040

I hope I have understood, the categories must be separated only by the first part of the string.
This is what I think.
Bye thank you!! Great

Thanks for your answer
unfortunately due to the language something escapes me.
I follow and I keep trying, thanks

Thank you dorin for your critics | suggestions.

In tree view are show the name of last piece at the end of the icons row which sometime could be confusing (not for me).

I try do something with it, may be split long row of icons by it's count, by 10-12 items may be?

Anyway I've already observe few duplicates in mine collections which I've have to clean.

Do not understand this [:(]

When I set something in Your plugin I observe a delay for few seconds.

Yes, that's appear more often than we would like. I try fix or reduce delay for this.

in Your settings menu put the same name as is in SH3D settings "Category folders"&"Searchable list"

Did you mean move this options to submenu of "Tools" Menu? Or simple rename labels near check-boxes?

To Golia:
Thank you for interest to my job, i hope you will like it.

but I do not understand how it filters the elements.

Filtering (Grouping) processing by follow rules:
1. Items compared one with other only in same category.
1.1. If names of two items containing more than one word, than comparing follow:
1.1.1 first word of one item with first word of second item.
1.1.2 first word of one item with last word of second item.
1.1.3 last word of one item with first word of second item.
1.1.4 last word of one item with last word of second item.
1.2. If name containing only one word - simple compare name of one with other item in same category
For example:
Items with follow names will be groupped:
Simple chair, Chair, Chair with arms:
But next will not:
Red chair with arms, Very cool chair.

You've right!
I was a little superficial; I've read the known bugs after I post in forum. I did'n respect my own rule from the motto.
SORRY! Can't promise but I try do not make it again [:-B]

Meanwhile I have a new suggestion for the place where I think this plugin have to be:

next after "Furniture catalog view:"
Note: I only modify a png image; I'm still not capable to program something but I learning.

To dorin
About add check-box to main setting window: I think this possible, i try do it in next version.

Maybe this is a bather solution, count the pieces in row.

Do not understand this 

Is exactly for what I need this plugin. I have more than 1000 pieces from different sources and some of them are duplicate or pretty similar and also are in different category; some of them have only a different texture and so on. So, this plugin aids me to identify and clean the furniture library.
According to this for me could be useful if in preview I see the name of furniture library and the id number to easily find and modify/delete. But this is for the future; urgency low.

Did you mean move this options to submenu of "Tools" Menu? Or simple rename labels near check-boxes?

I want to say to be the same text as is actually in Preferences.
Meanwhile I've send You another suggestion to move it completely from "Tools" and add it in "Preferences" as I try to improvise in my picture.

[Golia]

Ok Lizard2k1 I think I start to understand
keep it up, the work you do will bring SH to be very productive, if you need to rename all my library.
Thanks I will continue to try the new versions
