In my opinion jewelers are bit tedious to use because you have to specify every time what kind of gems to cut or encrust with. So a simple addition to the joblist: "Cut any gem" and "Encrust with any gem" or such so that you can just leave the jeweler do his work instead of checking that he has something to do every 3 minutes.

A mass 'cut-all' button would be nice.

Dwarf 2: And then the battle is not so bad?
Dwarf 1: Oh...right. I forgot about the battle.

It would be fine, but it's not that hard to manage as it is.
Just make one order for any kind of gem you have and then set them all to repeat.

Of course I use the repeat but there can be only 10 jobs in the workshop. If it was unlimited, I would not have made this thread.

I'm sorry if I'm terribly incorrect, but is it possible through the manager noble?

Well you have to set all the different gems to be worked with by hand anyway, and then there is that 30 job limit.

And while we are at it, smelters could have similar command: "smelt any ore" or such.

Although it couldnt hurt to have a command such as "Smelt closest ore" or "Cut nearest gem"... Like the butcher a dead corpse command.
