[Steam Edition] Stocks - Exclude certain items
« on: December 13, 2022, 10:38:20 am »

While there might be a use-case for the "Stocks" modal to show equipment worn/carried by dwarfs or furniture that has been placed, I feel confident saying that its not the primary intended use case for this interface. The average user (even the average DF veteran) searching for "Door" in the Stocks modal would almost certainly be wanting to find doors that aren't placed furniture (all 40 of these are "placed").



There might be some edge-case where a user might want to find a placed door, or an equipped weapon. Perhaps a button somewhere over here which changes this behavior back/forth? The default behavior should - in my opinion - be "search ground items only" (or whatever you might call it)
