LE Map icon/legen/marker filter for SkyUI

[thordir]

Hello and thanks to all those involved in the SkyUI team. Wonderful mod.
But I would have one small request. Since schlangster said that there won't be any future updates for SkyUI, maybe someone else could do this.

I think all of you will agree that once you have discovered quite a few locations, the world map can become quite messy and it can be hard to locate certain positions and locations amidst the clutter of icons. While the option to filter the names is awesome, it would be even better if we could also filter types of icons.

My question is this, can we have some sort of map legend filter where we can choose what icons are displayed on the map? For example, if a player want to see all the mines that he/she has located thus far, said player can choose that icon from the legend list and only the mines will be displayed on the world map?

 

What this mod would entail basically is a way to toggle icons on a cluttered map. The map can become overcrowded with too many legends, especially with too many mods that add new locations. Is there a switch to toggle the different types of location icons on/off? You would think SkyUI would have this option. And by toggle types, I mean, have let's say, only caves, or only forts, only Nordic ruins, or only hamlets, towns, or only the cities, or villages, etc.

I realize that this is a very low priority issue you have much bigger problems that need to be dealt with, I just thought that this is something that could be added to a future list of improvements.

 

The filter itself could be implemented, and look like the filter of this interactive map: The filter could be done similarly to this:

I know that there is already a mod that does something to this nature, but I believe it does not have DLC support, nor SkyUI compatibility.
