[Kavita] Pin items to side-nav

[scare376]

Idea Description

Right now the side nav by default shows the first 10 items and then you click more to see the full list of items. The items you want there might not be the same order that you would want to have the full list. It would be nice if you could instead pin items to go to the "upper" side nav and those can be organized separately from the full list, similarly to how Plex handles it.

This please, or simply giving user an option to increase the number of items displayed in Sidebar.

Is this still needed? I ended up adjusting the limit to 15 and you can always reorder what's in that top list.

I think it would be more ideal to have a list that is separate from the order of the main list

If custom won't be possible, I would still like a variable number of options the user can set according to their needs. In libraries with mixed content and lot of users, neat to have it all displayed in Sidebar. Especially with Smart Filters now.

That's right, we really need a lot of pin functionality.

Can someone provide me a mockup (text will do) that helps me understand the organization?

For me, I have it where the top has items then the More shows the rest of the items in the order you order them in the Customization screen. I'm not getting the gap between this and what users are asking for.

Have two general asks here:
-When things are hidden from the side-nav, there needs to be a way to view them that's fewer clicks than:
--Go into settings
--FInd customize
--click side-nav
--unhide thing
--go back to main view
--click thing
for instance, just making the things on the customize screen click-able into without unhiding them; I recognize this means you go to the main page which probably tries to render a sidebar
another option would be an "Other" option at the bottom of the sidebar that has cards for all these views you've hidden

-When the side-nav kicks in the "More" hiding, it shouldn't be a hard number, it should be based on window size. If it absolutely must be a hard number, it needs to be higher :)
thanks!
