Redesignate as before
« on: January 14, 2010, 07:39:35 am »
Each cell should remember its last designation, and if it becomes undesignated due to damp/warm stone, a new "redesignate as before" option in the designations menu would restore it to its last designation. This would eliminate mistakes resulting from undesignation occurring in an area that you haven't looked at in a while and forgetting which of the undesignated cells were "dig", "ramp", "channel" etc.

This is one of the simpler options that I've seen, and pretty good.  I am somewhat reluctant to have a key reserved for only one event though.

What about also adding a "suspend designation" key that would be identical in function to suspending the designation due to wet/warm stone, but could be used to delay jobs until you wanted them done?  Maybe have a small "D" or asterisk or somesuch in the corner of the graphic to denote it?
