Books changed size?

Is it me or did the books change size?

I used to have all my bp books arranged 3/row, in most to least bp count per group, but when I came in today, they were suddenly all jumbled up. A little looking showed me that they are now larger in size and now only sit 2 per row.

I (like many crafters) have many copies of each book, all filled with various numbers of copies of bps. I had my books arranged so that they went from most to least filled, making it easier to place new bps in books. (just scroll down the line of books until 1 turns green and drop it in.)

1st they make it impossible for us to see what's in each book by double clicking it, now they jumble the books. There's no easy way for me to keep them straight now.

Guess, instead of spending any decay, I'll have to spend my next entire session (or 2 or 3) fixing all my god-damned bp books.

The stupidest part is this new "improved" book size leaves this huge gap on the side, large enough for a loose bp but not another book. I see no benefit at all to justify changing the things they did.

Hey, you up there! Stop f*ckin' with the storage units alright!?!?!?!?

Depending on how much BP's there are in a BP book it changed shape a bit, when a lot of BP's in it it used to take allready up 3 storage slots wide. from these booktype you could only put two next to eachother.
Now it seems that the books with low ammount of BP's in it takes up the same space.

You can arrange em from top to bottom, with the BP book having the most BP on top. And two rows next to eachother.
Problem solved.

Yeah I know, standard book icons were 2x3 spaces and when enough bps were added, became icons using 3x3 spaces. I always thought that was stupid as well, but at least I could keep my books arranged ok.

and yes, I can arrange them however I want, but as I said, mate, how can I easily tell the book that has 13 bps from the one that has 4? or 12? or

Case in point, I have something like 21 Component I books. 4 of them have enough bps to have morphed, so I can separate them from the others, but how can I put the other 17 books back in order?

Help!!

First off the new size sucks ass. 2nd, why in the hell did they change the books and why do they need a value bar in the first place? They don't decay do they? Remove the value bar and give us back our space

What I do is to put them in order from most to least, and when I have new BP's I dragg em from top to bottom untill I find one book that turns green.

If no book turns green I donate it to the friendly TT man.

Yes you will have to do the effort once to arrange em all again, but who the hell has 21 components books.

I have most books double and some triple, if I loot BPs that I allready have 3 times, that means they are really common and have no value. (Or you must be speculating to the future?

)
