I have mixed feelings about the inventory screen...On one hand there is the natural convenience, which is positive...on the other hand, there is an immersion-breaking effect by it popping-up in the middle of the screen during play.
I prefer the keyboard/mouse shortcut keys, and highly recommend using a 9+ button mouse, in order to obtain convenience whilst at the same time preserving immersion.

I use shortcuts extensively and I use a 9 button mouse.
For me, it breaks immersion to not be able to glance at multiple carried items at once like I would do in real life. Garrett even does this in the original Thief intro video. He rolls out his tools to view them all at once before selecting one. Perhaps an Ultima-style backpack graphical skin would help your personal perception of immersion?

Yes, a natural way to view your inventory would work.
Immersion, is not based on "preference" or "like"...If an inventory screen that unnaturally pops-up in your face while playing doesn't break your immersion, then you are not in a state of immersion, you are simply engaged in the experience.

:rolleyes: I could argue that point for days, which I know is what it would take with you, but it's really not worth it. :cheeky:
If someone is comfortable with the way things work right now, that person can simply ignore this new feature.

I'm getting the TDMupdater installing on an infinite loop. It updates the installer checks the new version then starts again.
For some reason I had to download the updater manually , weird. I was using the one in the install directory It's now updating.

I'm not sure why this happens sometimes but if you go to the advanced menu and choose "Do not allow tdm_updater to update itself" you can break free of this issue.

It's optional. Don't use it! :)

Of course it is...as that would be breaking a fundamental principal of immersive simulation to not have it optional...and I can't imagine you ever doing that...:)
Now, if you excuse me, I must attend to some important business with Gerald Foxley.
