Item separation in the stocks screen
« on: March 23, 2010, 05:50:14 pm »

1) Don't separate items in the stock screen by completely useless extra information. For example: leather clothing. I'm sick and tired of seeing three pages of different kinds of leather cap, it could be compacted into one thing, leather cap [ # ].

2) Separate items owned by dwarves from items that are unowned. This would help intensely in determining how much clothing need be made to cloth the fort.

3) Separate useless items from useful items. So things that have xX___Xx or !!___!! are put in a separate count. (also would help find how much clothing to make)

hmm... that's all I could think of... you?

It needs overall better filtering options. For example, designation all narrow items to be melted is pita because in condensed view, they are in same group as normal sized armor so you have to change to single-item mode and find them manually in what is usually huuuuge list.

A "search" feature, just like in the 'move to trade depot' screen would be good too.

One of the filtering options should be by room, especially in the trade good selection screen.

Alternately, a lot can be accomplished by allowing more complicated commands for the manager, in the style of: 'melt all narrow armor of lower quality than superior that is in a safe burrow'.
