When I click on the image of a bag in my inventory slot I'd like it to just open the bag

I would like it if the actions that happen when you click on bags and the slot tabs in the inventory were swapped.

I open bags all the time, I need the menu for Rename/Drop/Open a lot less often. Currently when you click on the image of a bag in the inventory slots you get the Rename/Drop/Open menu. If I just want to open the bag you have to work a bit harder to click the smaller tab on the bottom of the inventory slot. I think these actions should be swapped: click on the bag image and it simply opens the bag, to get the menu options click on the smaller tab at the bottom.

To put it another way: when you are on the "Start a new auction" page when you click on the image of the bag it just opens. Really easy. I would like the image of the bags in the inventory slots to work like that.

(I know that I can also access the bags and open/close them by hitting B and using the arrow keys to move around but when I'm in a hurry to reach for something I use my mouse first. Having a larger area to click, that being the image of the bag itself, would be a big help.)

Please consider this change, Tiny Speck, you're my only hope.

  • This has been bothering me, too. I drop bags relatively often, but not NEARLY as often as I open the bags I'm already holding - I'd rather have the largest area control the action I do most often.

  • Agreed. The fiddly affordance should be used for the less common actions.

  • This suggestion is also being discussed over in the general forums: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/20286

    Stoot mentions that they are considering flipping the two, go chime in if you'd like. (You know, no pressure.)

  • Another reason to make this happen: being able to dig through my bags faster means I won't spend so much time fumbling and can actually RK people before they walk too far away. I wouldn't lose the RK duels as often. See? That would be great!

  • yes yes

    we need as much help as possible speeding things up. Lag is horrible. Lag is becoming an issue and anything that will speed things up will make the experience less painful.

  • Stoot has given a noncommital answer over here, so if this is a change you'd like to see show some support here, or over there, and let's see if we can influence them. We want easy one click bag opening! Thanks everybody.
