Luggage

10 - Provide different positioning for different bag "types"

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
Currently luggage supports 2 major bag types - inventory bags and bank bags. Probably gb to come some day too. All these are split between many virtual bags and both bank+bags result in like 20 or so bags. A typical view of both inventory and bank (when being at bank for example) looks like:
                        BB7-BB6-BB5-BB4
BB3-BB2-BB1-IB7-IB6-IB5-IB4-IB3-IB2-IB1

And these change when you transfer items between. What if there is a way to better separate them visually?
Eeasier way: the start of a new bag "type" just resets the positioning on the next row, whatever the direction was
              BB7-BB6-BB5-BB4-BB3-BB2-BB1
              IB7-IB6-IB5-IB4-IB3-IB2-IB1

Harder way: provide 2 such bag positioning colored rectanges so we can select where we want to see our bank bags, and where the inventory ones

ps: the ticket is displayed using variable-width font, so my tries to show proper positioning are fail :(

Please provide any additional information below.

    I'm afraid wrapping the bags depending on filters is not really feasible at the moment.

    Coloring the bags is possible with v1.08, so I will close this one for now.

    Thats a very good idea too. The main target is visually distinguishing between the 10 inventory bags and 10 bank bags without the need to dig through the names ;) But don't you think it will also be better if the bank bags don't just continue the row/column the inventory bags end but start on the next one? Without any config? This way the similar bag types will be on a similar places and follow same sequence. If I was able to explain what I mean at all, wtb proper english knowledge :(

    I'd rather avoid clubbing the user with more placement frames. How about coloring the bags' background instead?
