There's comments that this is a long term goal in the Wiki, and this
user interface makes it look like that long term goal has suddenly
become short term. It wouldn't be the first time that priorities had
a surprising change at LL.

I had to go look to see what you were talking about. I use my
inventory to manage my gestures.
That's the other side of "separating ... from inventory".
This kind of thing needs to be available for general inventory
management, it really ought to be a new inventory view, with columns
depending on the object, able to be restricted to a specific folder
and maybe even all folders below a certain point, and with columns
like date acquired, name, creator, type, ... and additional columns
available when you're filtering the view.
It just seems like they're planning a lot of work here and missing
most of the potential benefits of that work.
