I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what, but the vast majority of the notifications I get are "Joe Dwarf cancels Store Item in Barrel/Bin: Job item misplaced."

These messages are driving me nuts and using up the message bar such that I miss other, more important notices, such as cougars mauling my woodcutters or dwarves dying of thirst. And as far as I know, there's no reason I should care about barrels being misplaced, and not much I can do about it.

I would be overjoyed if I was made able to disable these messages, or they were only displayed if "Announce all job cancellations" is selected, or they were just eliminated altogether.

I think a few people wanted these enabled, but I can eventually give every cancel message a level you can set in the init or something.

Is it necessary to have these messages display when "announce some job cancellations" is set? They just don't seem to be as urgent as the other types of messages that this setting allows, such as building obstructions and insufficient crafting resources. If they were moved up to be displayed only when "most" or "all" cancellations are announced, it'd let people like me be rid of them, while still letting those who find them useful have access to them. And I imagine it'd be a trivial code change.

(Thanks for reading and replying, either way.)

You should be able to set to have more announcements appear in [a] than appear on the bottom of the main screen.  If you really want to know why a particular dwarf stopped hauling, you could check, but otherwise you wouldn't be told.
