back in my first fortress i tried to trade a barrel of jems but i didn't have a road yet and the mule caravan wouldn't take 'em.  i believe i only ordered one barrel of gems to the depot i saw a whole barrel plus two or three smaller units of just gems (wondering if i had more there than i thought or was it an option to trade all or part of the gems).  anyway, i had an unrelated issue with the fortress later that annoyed me so i started a new one.. or two, as the next one got stomped with elephants and tigers before i could really get started....  the gems were still at my depot when i quit the first fortress, as i couldn't figure out how to get stuff back from there once it was at the depot (including stuff i had traded for).

Thought they were in the barrel?  What do you mean?  Also, if you look at a barrel with [k] and press [enter] you can look inside.

They should just move objects from your depot to the relevant stockpile when they get around to it.

Anyways, the bug's still there. Every time a gem bin is tagged for bringing to the trade depot, it ends up empty in the depot (and no longer marked as "gem bin"), and all gems lie piled up on the spot where the bin was taken. Confirmed in .33b.

Bump/addition: It's also not possible to offer uncut gems to traders, even if they are freely lying on a stockpile, without bins. Am I missing something, or this is intended?
