Why can alternative panels be uploaded to the lib without being a module?
It's a bit annoying, kinda cluttering the library.

Agreed - makes using the module finder super annoying. Alternate panels should either be loaded as alternate panels, or at the very least only marked as blank panels so they don't show up when filtering on a real module type.
It needs a tick box to remove Mork modules, thats it.
Unpopular opinion: If they don't make actual modules they shouldn't be listed as a manufacturer.
Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.
Uploading as a panel would be better, I think. There's many more brands that have several versions with an alternate panel uploaded as a new module. Not ideal...

I agree that some alternative thing like panels listings would help reduce the noise from dozens of new panels pushing new actual modules down the most-recent list.
Mork makes great panels, and i get why you would want to list them in what is basically a storefront venue, but it is starting to become annoying.
I note that this seems like a site-admin created problem: Ilez tried to ask for a way to do this (considerately!) months ago: https://modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/13133
Is there a way to make it so it greys out all the other options if a manufacturer chooses "Blank panel" so you can't choose anything else when it is selected? I don't know the process for submitting modules.
The thing is, these panels are uploaded as modules.
I like to filter my lib view on newest additions to check out what's going on. I do not support modulargrid to see alternate panels listed as new modules, (which has nothing to do with wether it's a nice panel or not).
It's unrespectful towards the og manufacturers.
I hear you, and I also use the "newest first" view to watch for new releases... so an avalanche of panels does clutter things up.
Looking at other manufacturers of panels, this seems like a long-lived problem that MG doesn't care to solve. For instance: check out Grayscale's manufacturer listing, containing dozens of "modules" that are panels (also great panels, but still: same problem). https://modulargrid.net/e/vendors/view/191
Not sure but maybe there's a way to set an og panel as default? So when someone uploads an alternate panel, one can choose to show that in your own rack (as you allready can if there'd alt panels available.

Yeah, that's a good idea! There are two problems:
And of course the hidden third problem of fixing the existing mess, which is probably bigger than these two obvious problems.
