Hi Nyx and list,

I (finally) realized that there IS something that would
be a great improvement of wearables that won't be too hard
to implement :).

I don't have a solution (yet), but let me describe the
problem, and maybe the list can come up with the solution.

I store wearables in folders, and call those "outfits".
However, fact is that I have two different types of
"outfits": clothing, and things that make me myself,
things that belong to the avatar, to the naked avatar
so to speak:

* Hair, AO, earring, shape, eyes, necklace that
  I "never" take off, swimmer, braces, tatoos, skin,
  radar...

The number of things that belong to the "naked" avatar
are quite large in fact.

Outfits can also be pretty large, especially the number
of attachments. Allowing people to wear multiple layers
of pants, shirts and jackets will increase the number
of clothing items too.

Now lets say I have all the base things that belong
to the avatar in a folder "naked", and clothing outfits
in folders "swim outfit", "disco outfit", "samourai outfit"...

Then, when I want to switch from 'disco outfit' to
'swim outfit', there are currently two "paths" one
can take:

1) Click on 'naked' and do "replace outfit", then
   click on 'swim outfit' and do "add to outfit".

this makes me temporarily naked, and is therefore
often not desirable, so that leaves

2) Click on 'swim outfit' and do "add to outfit",
   then click on 'disco outfit' and do "Take off items",
   then click on 'naked' and do "add to outfit".

The last step is needed because some outfits DO
replace some of the 'naked' items.

This method as several disadvantages: it's a lot of
work, I have to find back the folder outfit that I'm
currently wearing, there is the danger that I accidently
click 'replace outfit' in the last step and it causes
often two or three rebakes instead of one.

What I'd like is an improvement here, a way to
switch outfits with a single click.

Does anyone have ideas?
