Devlog just gave me an idea.

Right now, every dwarf carting an item off to a stockpile lists the same task in the unit screen.  Some hauling tasks are necessary, others not so immediately important.

Since dwarves differentiate what and where they're hauling, why not list it in some broad way in the task description?  So instead of a column of-
Storing Item In Stockpile

you'd see-

Storing Wood In Stockpile
Storing Food In Stockpile
Storing Finished Good In Stockpile
Storing Stone in Stockpile

It'd give you a better idea of where your dwarfpower is going to.  When you need to grab a few people for some reason, you know at a glance who could be best spared.  If you've got some critical crafter lugging something someone else can lug, you can just slap him off it (recruiting that is).  Lots of little but useful functionality.

I agree, we need specific task names.

Related suggestion -- when viewing jobs from the 'j' menu, you should be able to zoom to job items.

+1 vote. Good idea, and shouldn't be hard for Toady to make the necessary changes.
