Problem: If workshop and stockpile has same name they cannot be identified (identical names) in "Set building tasks" interface (key:q).

Example: Rice beer still (name: Rice) and Rice plant stockpile (name: Rice) will list "Rice" two times.

Solution: Have a different text color or automatically added icon in front of the name.

Better solution: Just leave what it is in the name - Rice Still and Rice SP.

Strange.  I always thought the ability to change the name of a workshop or stockpile was something that only existed in DFHack…

*scratches head*

Seems to hav been added in 0.44.10

and added the ability to give nicknames to all buildings, zones and stockpiles.

Edit: oh, yeah, it's in the release notes
And when DFHack adds a keyboard shortcut to a screen, the key will be displayed in red.

Yes, this works. Thanks. I do this: "W:Date wine" and "S:Dates".

I quess it would not hurt if game would automatically add a symbol of type of the target e.g. "[m] Basalt" would be convention for named Basalt masonry workshop? Stockpile icon could be just =.

Then giving a name of "Basalt" to different workshops and stockpiles would end to have names like:
[m] Basalt
[r] Basalt
[=] Basalt

It would allow a little bit longer names since type of the link would not needed to be added to name of the link.
