New Logistics UX is cumbersome in some cases - easy to implement

Post by thelordodin »

New UI for personal logistics is great.
But it's hard to set tresh items.

You pick an item from inventory, click with it on logistics tab and it suggests to request it: it shows dialog with preset 50 - Infinity
And you have to tune it - set both values to zero.

In previous versions that was easier just click with item on autotrash and its done!

Some suggestions:
- Right click to logistics area should preset dialog to 0-0
- Middle click to logistics area should preset dialog to 0-50
- Middle click to trash area should send item to trash and also set logistic request to 0-0

- Make some preset buttons in this dialog, say "0-50", "0-0", "50-Infinity". Clicking on this button sets the preset and closes the dialog.
- Remembering previous setting is also good, because you still have confirmation.
- UI can also remember previous setting only till inventory is closed or for some short period of time after.
