FolderTool Pro (v1.0c3) - Group selected items into a folder

GamersInternational · July 12, 2021, 4:11pm

* GroupMe compatibility is for the Pro version. The regular version doesn't do anything to cause compatibility issues.

README: FolderTool Pro is now free. Some information regarding to pricing may be outdated here.

Hey everyone! I would like to showcase my plugin which I co-created with @LucasMZ_RBX.

FolderTool is a plugin that helps you to group selected items into a folder, ungroup items inside a folder and convert the class of a Model to a Folder.

When installing the plugin, these three buttons will pop up:

The first button is to group selected items to a folder, the second one is to ungroup items in a folder and the third button changes the Class of a Model to a Folder.

Here’s a demonstration of the first two functions:

(demonstration of the classconversion function coming soon)

Pro Exclusive Features

I’ll mention right off the bat that this costs 100 Robux, and may only have these features:

Customisable folder naming (e.g. “FolderItem” or “Storage”)
Iteration for folder names (non customisable, I plan to make it customisable though)

Guides

Set up a shortcut for FolderTool in Roblox Studio

You may want to set a shortcut to group selected items, you can do this by pressing File > Advanced > Customise shortcuts and type ‘Group’ in the search bar that appears and assign a shortcut. Repeat the same process for ungrouping, just don’t use the same shortcut.

Now this is another good representation of ungroup and group. I wanted to use something like since forever! Thanks for the resource!

Thanks for the feedback

Made a pull request to make it so the folders you just created get selected, and vice versa when folders are ungrouped, as I think that’s what normal grouping/ungrouping with models does. Thanks for making this, it’s going to be really useful!

This seems a nice addition since dragging a bunch of stuff into a folder is annoying

Suggest:

Make it so when you select a Model and press the folder button the Model turns into a folder and all the Model’s children get parented into the folder. So you don’t have to redrag everything

GamersInternational · July 13, 2021, 7:08pm

I’ll be definitely be looking at that pull request

Models have some features that folder do not, I’d recommend using @Elttob’s ReClass plugin for this anyways

I’ll also check @Ty_Scripts’ pull when I have time

Working on forking some of the forks right now, will release a few minor updates to implement all the forks so I can test that they work etc

1.2.1 should be out in about 20 minutes with updates that @regibus361 implemented

Update 1.2.1 is now available!

When grouping/ungrouping folders, the folder or files will automatically be selected.

Forks are being processed one by one atm

GamersInternational · July 17, 2021, 9:45pm

Another update already?

The v0.3 update is now out on GitHub and Plugin Marketplace. This update introduces a new button to convert the class of a model as suggested by @legs_v!

Download it now: FolderTool (obsolete) - Roblox

DaDude_89 · July 18, 2021, 1:29pm

This is very useful! I’ve always wanted this kind of alternative to the model grouping feature.

One suggestion: shorten the icon names in the dock to just “group” “ungroup” and “convert” or something. The current names take quite a chunk of space on the dock.

GamersInternational · July 18, 2021, 1:35pm

Yeah, it’s a shame that I can’t get the icons looking better on such a small resolution because then users would understand a function better

DaDude_89 · July 18, 2021, 1:37pm

No no the icons are great, I meant changing the title under the icons to something shorter

(I would make a pull request but I don’t have access to a computer rn)

GamersInternational · July 18, 2021, 1:40pm

I could do that now, people can tell what an item does anyways through the description of it.

GamersInternational · July 18, 2021, 1:43pm

Just implemented those changes, will be out shortly

msi afterburner is broken for sure

GamersInternational · July 18, 2021, 2:00pm

Version 0.3.1 is now out!

This update uses shortened toolbar button names, get it from GitHub or Plugin Marketplace now!

TheDarth_Dot · July 18, 2021, 2:06pm

Oh boy this is gonna be useful!

regexman · December 7, 2021, 4:36pm

What is “convert” supposed to do?

GamersInternational · December 7, 2021, 4:37pm

It’s supposed to classconvert a model to a folder

No problem!

regexman · December 7, 2021, 4:37pm

nice, I don’t like groups so I needed this, thx

GamersInternational · February 25, 2022, 8:19pm

Hi there!

We’ve made some small changes to the plugin, here’s whats new in v0.3.2!

Update checker has been added (similar to the system already being used in all my plugins except for Roblox Fast Donation Button Creation)
Converting models with textured meshes etc should be now fixed (thanks @Ty_Scripts for reporting this, and @cxmeels for helping)

I should also like to point out that @LucasMZ_RBX is no longer working on this project, however I will remain to keep him credited.

This plugin is also now available on itch at FolderTool by ExperiencersInternational (currently not on latest version, working on updating it now).

You can download the latest version currently from the Plugin Marketplace, GitHub and Itch will be updated shortly after.

GamersInternational · August 17, 2022, 6:17pm

Just a quick update! Version 0.4.0 has been released, here’s what we’ve changed:

References to require() have been removed, plugin shows up in both Marketplace and Studio search now
Refreshed icons (current icons don’t feel designed for a 16x16 or 32x32 resolution, and the new icons add more consistency)

Download at: FolderTool - Roblox, or search ‘FolderTool’ in plugin search in Toolbox.
