Scrapbook needs major changes

[Kacpert25]

I like the scrapbook concept and I'm happy with changes who improve it. However, it hasn't received any major changes since the Host of Horrors update (which added two new tabs). And such changes would be welcome, as scrapbook still feels unfinished in some aspects.

Among other things, for example, separate entries for the forms of a given creature.

Or a complete lack of them, like a heated Saladmander or Shadow Splumonkey. And while it's not that bad with listed mobs, it just looks weird with the bosses.
Celestial Champion, presented only in the first phase, which is described as if this first phase alone had 37000 hp, or Shadow Pieces, which are also presented only in their first forms, but are described as if their health and damage could be randomly selected from the mentioned numerical range.

Spoiler

Instead of this working as it currently does, a button should be added to allow switching between creature or entity forms.

Another thing is the other entries related to a given entry. These are simply crammed all together at once.

Spoiler

There should be some division here into:
- Entries of entities that drop a given item,
- Entries of items that drop from a given entity,
- Entries of things that use a given item in their crafts,
- Entries of entities that are somehow related to a given thing,

Spoiler

As for the button for changing the form of an entity, if a given entity qualifies for a separate entry, then it should only be listed together with the entries of things related to a given entry.

 

The next thing may not be a major change like the previous two, but it would be nice to see it implemented. 
Namely, the addition of buttons that allow to rotate scrapbook entries so you can view them from any direction.

Another change is option to choose the order in which entries are displayed.
Besides the obvious Z-A order setting, there should also be an option with entries arrange in a more deliberate order.
Equippable items would be at the very top, for example, and character items would be right next to each other instead of being scattered throughout the scrapbook.
Here's a comparison, for example, on the Giants tab:

Entries arranged in A-Z order:

Entries arranged in custom order:

 

The last thing is to add the scrapbook to the compendium. 
It would fit perfectly there.

 

So that's it. Thanks for reading.
