Can you please add the "Search in Personal Assets" option in item context menu? (right clicking on the item or linked item in chats and mails)

As it is now, we have to manually open Personal Assets, then type the name of the item in the Search field or drag and drop item in the Search field, which doesn't work for links.

I agree that context menu already has a lot of items, but there is an easy solution:

Just like "Sort by ->", "Find in ->" can have sub-menu:

Find in ->
- Personal Assets
- Contracts
- Ships/Fits (because we also have no way of finding fitted items unless we Activate or View Contents of each and every ship...)

I agree with Morikvendi on this. I hope someone in CCP will do same!

It actually is because that tab loads your entire assets in order to display the assets like in the All Items tab, which lags out the window and only after it loaded all assets, you are able to start your search. Roll

Won't i have to open the market or find an existing item to do this? That's as fidgety as typing it in to the assets search.

Fitting window and Simulation mode come to mind where this option in the right click menu would come in very handy.

Scenario 1:
Friend in chat: "Hey, do you have [linked item] ?"
Me: Right click on link -> Search in Personal Assets -> "Yes/No"

Scenario 2:
Me looking at the ship cargo of looted items.
Thinking: 'Do I need to keep this one or I have enough of those?'
Right click on the item -> Search in Personal Assets

Scenario 3:
Me looking at the Fit shared by a Friend / Looking at the Simulation Mode.
Thinking: 'Hmm, (where) do I have this module?'
You've guessed it: Right click on the module -> Search in Personal Assets

And if by any chance Search engine could/would look into owned Fitted Ships as well (because computers in the future might be able to keep track of inventory including ships and fits):

Right click on the item -> Search in Personal Assets searches through both station hangars AND ships.
"There it is!"

In all of these cases, as previously mentioned by other people, there would be no need for:

Step 1: Opening Personal Assets
Step 2: Waiting for the ENTIRE DB OF ALL THE ITEMS TO LOAD
Step 3: Manually typing the name of the item/module
Step 4 (optional, depending how pro you are): Retyping the name because you made a typo for various reasons

You would only have two CLICKS:

Step 1: Right click on the item/link
Step 2: Left click on Find in PA

As far as the "Development Resources" go, it's not more than a few lines of code:

1. Add the Find in PA item to the context menu
2. Make it do Personal Assets DB query using item name (SELECT "Item Name" FROM PersonalAssetsTable)

Boldly go where no man has gone before...

i don't see your point take a look at the industry or a variate of others that is the quality acceptable by ccp


adding in another route to get to it rather than optimizing the current one just creates more code to contend with down the line. I would hope CCP has learned their lesson about that by now.

you have at most a very minimal understanding don't you?


lets just look at one small part where this is not just "a few lines of code"


Q.A.

this now has to be tested in a variety of ways and configurations over and over during the rest of the games life. its why when they added the new UI they got rid of the old one. everything you add has to under go QA and it has to under go QA constantly in a game that is regularly updated and changed
