i want a little more micromanagment:

first in the status-kitchen tab i want a third option for "eat" so i can tell dwarfs to not eat some things (like plants, i want for brewing, raw meat i want for the kitchen, and so on)

and the stone tab should get similar to the kitchen tab. so all known stones are there with the 4 options "construction" (those with no will not show up in the material tab then building walls/floors), "craftmanship" and "mason" and mechanic

because i want my craftdwarfs to use the funky colorful stones, and the masons/constructions to only use the dark colored ones for doors and stuff (or sometimes the other way).

More micromanagement!? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!? Also, what you describe is hardly micromanagement. I consider micromanagement having to enlist dwarves into the military and then use the station command just to stay in the spot I want them. What you describe is resource management.

Seconded this.  I would also suggest adding "masonry", "mechanics", "smelter", "craftsdwarfship" and "architecture" stockpile options, which are stone stockpiles with all of the appropriate stones (as set by the menu) automatically enabled and all others disabled which update when the stone tab is modified.  It sucks having to scroll down through the entire list of stones and remove "bauxite", "bituminous coal", "lignite", and "raw adamantine" from every stone stockpile I make so dorfs don't waste time hauling the wrong types of stone to the wrong places, especially if the stockpiles aren't rectangular, and so each stockpile requires multiple configuration actions.

You know you can REMOVE portions, right?  Just designate it to fill the space you want, then remove the bits were are where you don't want them.

And you do know that you can also designate over buildings/constructions/unmined walls without any problems?

thirded the idea, and made myself usefull and added it to the new top suggestions thread

Bumping and seconding the stone management

I think it would work better if the relevant workshops got an extra option in their build menus that let you designate what kind of stone you wanted them to use.  i.e. "Build Table", "Build Coffer", then "Build with certain stone", from which you then choose a stone and choose what you want to build with it.  That would have the same end effect as having to reconfigure your entire stone management every time you want to make an exception.

That or similar methods along that line, such as setting "only use X" for a certain workshop or whatever.
