Changes

Due to all the extraneous tinkering I've been doing, kind of a minor update this time:

This fixes a problem with the export feature, lets you play around with the mouse when doing designations and cleans up some of the problems with flows and channel-related spam.

umm, i'm still getting lots of messages from dwarves trying to get at the channeel to haul out the body clogging it up and drag his cltohes to the shop.

Existed from a save before the current version, if that means anything.

Yeah, existing jobs will still be there.  Things like haul jobs are created by the item, so they won't necessarily clear when the job is cancelled by a unit.  That's going to require some further effort, perhaps just a "kill job" option on the main jobs screen.

Actually a kill job would fix so many of the problems with dwarves getting stuck, dying, starving etc because they are stuck on a job. Lots of times they are too busy to hit a switch to literally save their lives.

Oh man, this is awesome. Maybe now I can lock down the fortress while being sieged and not have to worry about killing the pathfinding.

There are still a ton of path message spams out there.  It'll be an ongoing process, but hopefully it will actually end at some point.

Well, I use moat and drawbridges to seal up the fortress, and the dwarves respond WAY better when I pull up the bridges now. Thank you! Mouse designation is awesome for mining too.

Good Job! The inclusion of a mouse interface, even if only experimental, is a terrific idea. I look forward to seeing what other interface improvements are added in the future.
