I can just see that pop-up menu now.... click on it and the pop-up list runs down the monitor, over the keyboard, down to the floor, out the room, down the halllway, out the front door, down the driveway, and across the road.

Having an extensive list poses three problems: One, I only have 5 SR3 books (BBB, MM, CC, SC, MitS). There's a whole ton of books and stuff I don't have lists for.

Two: the list would be bigger than the entire program - longer downloads and eating up my limited webspace to store them on.

Three, as Kagetenshi so eloquently stated, it would end up taking longer to choose things than to just look up and enter.

At least the weights for ammo are automatic

I plan to add features in the future:

Drag and Drop between Backpack files - Save time entering the same info you saved in a different document.

Printing - Print the whole list, or just carried items.

Subsets - Make different 'Carried' lists that you can switch between depending on what you want your character carrying.

That's one of the things I plan to add - a sublist for guns so you can click on the (to be added) Folder beside the gun name and it will expand to show all the ammo for the gun.

Also, when I add printing to the program, it will automatically print the ammo, amount, and type included with the gun.

I made this up as my character's gear list alone runs to two pages. Got to be a pain flipping through two pages to find everything.

I may also make it so you can add a Folder, and have things within that folder so you can sort gear (i.e. Weapons, Biotech, Demolitions etc).

At the moment, all items in the list are draggable, so you can click and drag to re-order the list, and save it. So for now, at least you can keep items grouped together.
