One of the big issues that I end up fighting with at the moment is stockpile management.  It would be nice if I could give it a nickname either when I set it up or using the 'q' key.  Right now, the game assigns a name and we can't change it.

The second issue is finding out whether a particular stockpile type is full or not.  I could see this added to the 'z' menu as an additional topic.  I would simply like to see (sorted by name):

- Name (or nickname)
- # of tiles defined
- # of tiles in use

With the ability to zoom in on the selected tile.  Assuming that I'm rational in my names, this would let me see that I'm running out of space for table storage, or empty barrel storage.  Or that my 10th stockpile of Dwarven Wine is filling up and I need to create an 11th somewhere.

Bonus points if the right side of the screen changes to show the contents of the stockpile as you arrow up/down the list of "Name, total, used" information on the left side.

I like this.

Extra bonus points for being able to save named stockpile and then create its clone with same settings.

Yeah, that would be incredibly useful.

I like this one, and I think its a new suggestion too.

These could be very useful, especially so if we can also clone settings between them. Nice!

Would probably be even better with some optional colorcoding, but your mileage may vary.

Yeah, I'll have to search, cause I'd hate to have to apologize to NW....

This is a pretty awesome idea, especially with other named rooms already in the game.

Might want to just allow all rooms/zones to be named...  No reason to pick and choose.

EDIT:

Right now Stockpiles and Zones are created with numerically sequential (Stockpile 1, Stockpile 2... Zone 1, Zone 2) names. It would be nice to be able to assign different names to them similar to burrows.

Advantages:
Easily track the stockpile from which you're moving items (Central Food Stockpile)
Quick reference for stockpile contents (Prepared Food)

Sorry, NW, maybe next time...

Not to give you a hard time wuphonsreach, it was a non-trivial task by someone familiar with the forums to find this.
