Mini Scene Navigation

Mini Scene Navigation is a small module that adds a few scene-navigation conveniences without redesigning the whole sidebar.

What It Does

  • Adds a back button to scene navigation so you can return to the last scene you viewed.
  • Let’s you left-click a scene in the Scene Directory to view it instead of opening the scene sheet.
  • Gives scene levels a cleaner control, while keeping Foundry’s original level entries, so right-click context menus still work.

Settings

You can choose what parts of the module you want to use.

  • Show Back Button: Adds a small back button to scene navigation. When you view another scene, the button points back to the previous one. If there is no previous scene, it is disabled.
  • Left-Click Scenes To View: Changes the Scene Directory click behaviour. With this on, left-clicking a scene views it on the canvas. You can still use the scene’s context menu for other actions.
  • Scene Level Control: Controls how scene levels appear in the scene navigation area.
    • Foundry default: Leaves Foundry’s level display alone.
      • Levels button and list: Adds a small levels button beside the navigation controls. Clicking it opens the original Foundry level list.
  • Show folders in scene navigation: Group inactive scene navigation entries by their Scene Directory folders.
  • Expand folders to the right: Inactive scene navigation list folders to the right instead of nesting.
  • Click current Scene to show levels: Use the currently viewed scene row as the levels toggle instead of adding a separate levels button. Requires scene-level control to use the levels button and list.
  • Darken scene directory listing: Darken scene entries in the Scene Directory for better text legibility.
  • Compact scene tiles in the scene panel: Use shorter scene rows in the Scene Directory and Scene Directory popout.
  • Enable nav toggle on scene: Add a button to Scene Directory entries so GMs can quickly show or hide scenes in navigation.

The module keeps Foundry’s level rows in place, so right-click actions on levels still work.
