Entry Grouping

[Donovan Keith]

I'm not sure yet of the best interface or implementation, but some form of entry grouping would be quite helpful. It's probably not going to be too important for a v1 release, but as the number of entries in the dialog increases I think it will be.

A possible taxonomy:

• Distributor
• Author
• Type
  • Plugin
  • Script
  • Character
  • Content Library
    • Models
    • Materials
    • MoGraph Preset
    • MoCap
• Industry
• Use Case
  • Utility
  • Modeling
  • Texturing
  • Lighting
  • Animation
  • Rendering

We talked about at least splitting the list by Cineversity vs 3rd-party plugins. If we do that, I assume the column sort should work as though they're two separate lists. But then the problem is that a brand new 3rd-party resource would be stuck beneath a mountain of old Cineversity stuff. Thoughts?

Just borrow the conventions of the Maxon Online Updater:

Tabs for:

• Updates
• Available
• Installed

Then in each tab two lists:

• Cineversity
• 3rd Party

Another option might be to use a false-button that auto-fills the search field with "Cineversity" or nothing. But that feels a little hacky.
