Small interface change that would help a lot.
« on: January 07, 2012, 10:49:38 am »
I would like to be able to "hide" a creature from the unit screen. Each individual creature could be hidden by selecting them and pressing something, "h", perhaps? And a button, perhaps "H", would un-hide all the hidden units. There's two pages full of animals that my hunter's kill, and another several pages of livestock and I can't even count how many pages of dead goblins. It's a big pain to scroll down through that.

this would be nice, or an option to hide all dead units.

The units screen in DF is getting changed, a LOT in the new version, but it won't have this hide feature you're suggesting.

As Loud Whispers said, there are changes already for the next version which may at least alleviate your need of a hide button somewhat:

"I split the unit screen into 4 categories (citizens, pets/livestock, others, dead/missing). I suppose there's more to do there, but it is a start."
