The Unified Inventory has enormous potential, but definitely needs more work. As always, thanks for listening and responding.
Apologies if some of these have already been suggested.
(1) When opening a container in space, the inventory should open to that container, not to the active ship's cargohold. I think this will be fixed in the 29 May patch.
(2) The "Loot All" button should be made bigger, or at least more noticeable. Maybe move it to the top of the window, or otherwise make it stand out somehow.
(3) Legacy shortcuts such as ALT+C should open the appropriate inventory spaces, not just the unified inventory window.
(4) The game should remember inventory window positioning. For example, if I open the ship's cargohold in a new window and then close it, the cargohold should open in a new window the next time I access it. Similarly, if I open a jetcan in a new window, and change its default position, that should be where all future jetcans are opened.
(5) Re-introduce tabs. If I drag-drop one inventory window onto another, the dragged window should become a tab. That will give players an additional axis along which to organize inventory and other containers.
(6) Give us the option of searching all containers and hangars in a station or on a grid using the inventory search, not just the active container. Maybe a checkbox for "Search All Station/Nearby Containers" or something. I keep trying to search for items while still in the ship hangar.
(7) The inventory lags something awful when moving a lot of items from one storage space to another, such as from the ship cargohold to the station item hangar. I think this is due to the new item value calculator.
(8) If a player cannot access a container, that container should not show up in the inventory. For example, if I do not have the right to access a POS's fuel bay or an SMA, I should not see either of those in the inventory.
On a related note, when you re-do the Assets window, please consider giving us options to sort by number of jumps/items/whatever in each station.
