This mod is another example of scrAddAction that adds a new action to the playership cargohold called "Switch to category view". This action sends you to a new screen that is a duplicate of the cargohold screen, but with some special features. Two of the actions on the new screen also use scrAddAction.
The new screen provides two new ways to change the filters on the items you can see. Next category and Previous category allow you to scroll through different views such as only showing armor, or just alien items.
You can also use the Choose category feature, which allows you to type in a category instead of scrolling through all categories. The categories are preset and a list of all 26 can be found on the Choose category pane.
Ever wanted to jettison all your damaged armor segments? Well navigate to the damaged armor category and you can't jettison them all without worrying about jettisoning anything else!
It can be downloaded at Xelerus below. Enjoy!
Special thanks to StarWeaver for helpful suggestions and ideas!

SWEET. Kudos all around.

If you love something, tweak it and twist it. Keep bending it until it breaks. Rip it apart, remix it, rebuild it. Kill your darlings and stitch them together again.
