Often late in the game, I'll want to just buy every last thing a trader has.  It would be nice if there was a 'select every item' button to do this.

Additionally, of course, it would be even better if some generic quality-free things could be stacked -- I'm thinking wood specifically.  I'll often want to buy all the wood a trader has, and it's a bother to select it individually.  If there was some way to just select all the wood at once or something, that would be much easier.

Also, it is impossible to trade individual contents from barrels, even if those contents could normally be taken out and sold individually (prepared food barrels, say, or plant barrels.)  Dunno if that's an oversight or what (I assume it's to keep you from selling the booze out of a barrel or the sand out of a bag, but it's too strict now.)

Maybe a simple numerical selector like on the embark screen would be appropriate here.

This is a good observation.

Slightly necro-ish, I know, but I didn't want to make a new thread.

Anyway, in addition to the suggestion above, having a "Select all goods on this screen" button when choosing what goods to take to the trade depot would be immensely useful when ordering your dwarfs to haul the 20 billion assorted pieces of goblin equipment off the battlefield.

Edit: Also have a similar button for the trade screen itself.

I believe a lot of this is planned for the presentation arc. We may get a few simple things befor that though.
