Link station count to overview of stations

Post by mrvn »

TL;DR
Clicking on the stations count in the train stop GUI should jump to the train stations overview with the train stops name selected.
What ?
When opening the train stop GUI at the top it shows the number of train stops with the same name in blue. Clicking at the number should open the train station overview with the name of the train stop pre-selected to show all the train stops with the same name.

Why ?
Just a QoL thing to faster see all the stations with the same name. For example when the number of stations with the same is unexpected. Or before changing a stop in a way that would potentially break other stops with the same name.

For past few weeks I was thinking about something similar that could open window with all stations with same name by one click in window with current train station.

Like in the train schedule? Clicking on the station name in the train schedule zooms to the station the train targets. Only works for the current schedule index and if it has a station targeted. So can't use that to show all stations with the same name there.

I mean the almost same thing that you said but it could be just a additional button in trains station window rather than shortcut via number of stations with same name.

Yeah, this could be beneficial.

I would not come to the idea to click on that little link. The functionality of this is ok, but not how it should be toggled.

I don't know, has the same color as links used to have in web browsers. :)

But whatever the devs feel best to make a link with. It's the functionality that counts.

Add an underline to it? Otherwise, put a button next to it.
