I guess this is the place to request this..
The store manager really needs a face lift..
First off, I'd like to request that the tiny one line window above the store stock manager be either removed or made re-sizable. I mean, It's really a bit of a useless tool if you can only place one item at a time.. Not to mention the fact that probably 85% (I'm being generous) of Mafia users have no idea why it's there or how to use it, and the 15% that do know how it's used don't use it because it's easier to just use the additions tab.
Next up is can the little stop sign's have a little bit of hovering text to tell you what they do? It's not really a dynamite change, but it would help the store manager be a little more intuitive.. (If not hovering text maybe have the column labelled? I know that I for one am a little bit leery of clicking on buttons that I don't know what they do.. But, I got a little braver and as I was clicking around I also discovered that the little triangle brings up a list of mall prices for that item. Not really dynamite either, but a label would be nice (for months I've been moving the main window over to the side and typing in the name of the item and repricing it based on that..)
Next thingy is.. As much as I understand the desire to not make Mafia a mall-bot, Would it be possible to add a Restock pane to the store manager? (I saw the restock tab in the item manager.. but it appears to be a bit of a vestigial window, and doesn't have any method of using it. Not to mention when I searched the forums for restock the last reference to the pane is in 2009 and that was just confirming that no one has any idea of how to use it, or why it doesn't work..) My idea is that it would work exactly like the end-of-run pane in the museum display.. If you were really feeling frisky, you could make it so the person could even set up a small database of items and prices and do an end-of-run sale with the press of a button..
Thanks for considering the features..
