I've found the warehouse tab to far more useful so far. BTW will the workers tabs be switched also? That way warehouse are 1,2 and totals 3,4. -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote

Hm, from a UI perspective this isn't what one would expect if a window with tabs get opened. This would be the first window in this game where the first tab isn't activated, so it breaks usual behavior. I think switching the tabs (1. Wares in warehouses, 2. workers in warehouses, 3. wares overall, 4. workers overall) is also uncommon. What about having two windows of wares statistics: Wares overall Wares in warehouses Does someone uses the first and second tab in this statistic at all? Maybe those tabs can just be removed?

Having two windows wouldn't make sense imho. But this: I think switching the tabs (1. Wares in warehouses, 2. workers in warehouses, 3. wares overall, 4. workers overall) is also uncommon. I don't think it's uncommon at all, I'd vote for changing the tabs order like this. Top Quote

Active tab may always in first (or second?) position. If the next tab is chosen, its position is shifted left and the first gets moved to the end. Of course, this would be the maximum possible codework for this change... Edited: 2020-03-13, 11:48 Top Quote

Really good idea, lots of games are like that. Only it should either be a checkbox for totals or else the checkbox would need to be selected by default. : ) -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote

This is also possible, yes. The checkbox should be close to the tabs.

No good solution imho Nordfriese wrote: I guess the information how many wares you have in total can be useful at times… but not so prominently placed. Having two windows wouldn't make sense imho. Two windows could also be a solution if it's like this: The current window, but by default the third tab is chosen A copy of the current window, by default the first tab is chosen and it has another button of the keyboard, not "i" The advantage would be that one could look at two things the same time But this: I think switching the tabs (1. Wares in warehouses, 2. workers in warehouses, 3. wares overall, 4. workers overall) is also uncommon. I don't think it's uncommon at all, I'd vote for changing the tabs order like this. I'm against changing the order because it could be confusing, which is worse than the fact that a third tab is the default at one window. kaputtnik wrote: GunChleoc wrote: I haven't switched anything, just activated the 3rd tab when the window opens.

I still remember how much I hated it when Office decided to show the most recently used menu entries on top. They removed the feature with the version after that, because I wasn't the only one cursing at the screen. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote
