Scrolling through those lists, however, is much, much worse. That said, I have every confidence in Toady.

It's not so bad with Mouse Fortress.

Though fully integrated mouse support would be better.

I love the extra space and it's easier to scan, but there HAS to be some shortcut added to see bars and cloth stocks. It used to be pgdn, pgdn, down arrow, down arrow, down arrow to see bars and now it's 15 seconds of holding the down arrow to see my bars.

Also, everyone else seems to be getting the UI fix applied to the trade screen, but it's not working on my imported *.08 fort.

My big happy is Lye/Milk buckets are finally perfect!

I saw no changes on my 0.34.09 imported world either. It looks just as before.

A page-down button would be nice but in the meantime I can finally appreciate how huge a Large world actually is.

Page down itself has always worked for me...

Hey ~ It's nice have the look/view tools tied to the cursor, but Mouse Fortress doesn't come preconfigured with support for the stocks menu. Unless I'm missing something?

I like it.  Makes reading longs lists easier.  Plus on my stocks list, "stones" is at the very bottom of the first pages, so that makes going through that list a lot easier.

I upgraded directly from 34.07 though, so the hauling changes are kind of messing with the fort's supply chain.  I probably need to wait a few months in game for everything to settle out properly.

It takes some getting used to. Like the UI changes. ;)

The longer lists are great, and a take some getting used to navigating, both.

The hauling works, but has some foibles.  I think the one change that would improve hauling the most is if they used the wheelbarrows to haul the bin nearly full of bars to the one bar they are picking up, instead of only using it to haul the full bin back at a later time.

The stockpile changes are great.  Still need a place for large gems and for gem artifacts, though.

The one change  from 31.x that has aggravated me no end is the double-tap process for selecting a stack.  If I am buying all of the cheese, meat, and fish from a caravan, that change can turn 150 taps into 300.  Why couldn't the partial-stack option have been tied to something like shift-enter (if that is possible)?  Surely people who are only selling one roast aren't selling one roast from every stack of roasts in their fortress.  It would only be one inconvenience for them instead of 150 inconveniences for me.   :P

I've noticed in this version that birds, every single bird, apparently, seem to have disconnected tongues. At least, that's what the errorlog is giving me.

The biggest problem I've had with hauling so far far is that dorfs picking up seeds will go to the seed stockpile and grab the entire barrel where the appropriate seed bags are stowed, instead of just grabbing the bags themselves.  Then the farmers start canceling planting jobs because they don't have access to any of the seeds they need.

Simple fix: create a stockpile, disable all except seeds, and set it to '0' max barrels.

Use your page down key.

That's just it. Where before it skipped, oh, 10 or some other, manageable number of entries, I now have to taptaptap or pressssssshoooold to find what it is I'm looking for.

Why is it so much harder to see now if you really only have to look with your eyes when it's all one one page?
