OUTFIT FLOATER: The search function in the outfit floater is stupid slow
Summary
Outfit floater has a search function that's stupid slow if you got a lot of outfits.
Steps to reproduce
- have a ton of outfits.
- open outfit floater
- type any words into it
What is the expected correct behavior?
I would like it faster.
The Old Alchemy Next discord group had some discussion on this way back

[10:37 PM] XenHat: yeah
[10:38 PM] XenHat: I wouldn't hate an option to fully disable and NOT LOAD the visual outfit code/pictures
[10:38 PM] XenHat: I use it, but it's so inefficient it's not worth it too often
[11:01 PM] Liru: I thiiiink you can take my outfit floater from Singu
[11:01 PM] Liru: That's just an inventory panel
[11:01 PM] Liru: with start folder as my outfits
[11:42 PM] Bellimora: see
[11:42 PM] Bellimora: that is smart
[11:42 PM] Bellimora: I was like
[11:42 PM] Bellimora: "We got a real fast searching very useful inventory panel here, why are we not using this tech somehow?"
[1:00 AM] XenHat: Yeah, it really bothered me that the appearance floater uses a completely different search code path
[1:00 AM] XenHat: as long as link-based outfits still work and can be made, the rest can be scrapped if it makes the viewer better/lighter
[1:02 AM] XenHat: shit, we could just embed the linked picture inside a hovertip displayed when hovering onto the outfit name (in inventory panel)
[1:02 AM] XenHat: this way functionality isn't lost, and it's not inside a shitty floater
[1:03 AM] XenHat: ... im liking this idea a lot actually
[1:03 AM] XenHat: just need to account for multiple or no linked pictures being present (happens, trust me)
[4:03 AM] Liru: Oh uh
[4:03 AM] Liru: You should grab my open in new window inventory floaters
[4:03 AM] Liru: indra/newview/lffloaterinvpanel
[4:04 AM] Liru: They let you open an inv folder in a new window, with that folder as the root
[9:04 AM] nopjmp: We probably want to make it an option for some people, just not the default. Maybe even cache the images locally for performance
[11:13 AM] XenHat: that would be nice. because re-downloading them all the time is dumb
[3:45 PM] Bellimora: I remember jira ing this several times on several viewer jiras like "Why is outfit search made of ass and inventory search not ass? can't we have that search?" except not as rude.
[3:45 PM] Bellimora: and finally
[3:45 PM] Bellimora: Someone else is agreeing.
