Link to Lever Menu use New Interface.
« on: June 01, 2008, 12:29:00 am »

So when the 3D version came out we had this new interface for choosing items for buildings.  It lists the items by type and sorts by closest.  I noticed just now that the mechanism choosing part of the link item to lever uses the old interface where it lists every mechanism in your fortress starting with the first one made.  It would be really nice if that was switched over to the new interface.

So long as it displays them by material like the other menus, so that it doesn't become difficult when you need a specific kind of mechanism (e.g. bauxite).

It'd be a lot easier if you could label levers, doors and the like. That way you don't have to remember which -granite flood gate- out of sixty that this particular +orthoclase lever+ out of nine in the room controls. It would be the level 190 farm flood lever and it would be linked to the level 190 farm flood floodgate.
