Materials Ignore List: is there any way to reset the entire list?

[case44]

So ... is there still no way to clear the entire list? Or even see what is on the list?
Just discovered that certain raw materials were ignored - not by me (I would never ignore the grade 4 raws) - so something is amiss if things were added to the ignore list automagically. Would really love to 1) clear the entire list or 2) if that's not possible, see what's on the list!

No.

As silly as it is, you have to actually be able to target the item you want to un-ignore.

Nor can you see the list of ignored items.

It's just...poor design. But it's been that way for years so it's probably not going to change.

I have set some raw materials on ignore while carpet bombing brain trees to mass collect for the SCO drive upgrade of my entire fleet, now I regret that....I don't even remember what it was.

There is still no way to undo all the work put in to create a comprehensive ignore list in one missclick.

Or even see what is on the list?

You can only see what is actually around at the time.

Just discovered that certain raw materials were ignored - not by me (I would never ignore the grade 4 raws) - so something is amiss if things were added to the ignore list automagically.

The only way to add things to the list is to select them on the contacts screen, switch to the other half of the screen and click on ignore. Now the way things can move on the contacts list does mean that by the time we get to clicking ignore it might not be what we thought we were ignoring.

Would really love to 1) clear the entire list or 2) if that's not possible, see what's on the list!

Sorry you will just have to find the ignored items in the wild and un ignore them individually.

Well, the smart way to do it would be that anything you have 100% capacity of should automatically be ignored and anything that becomes less than 100% capacity should automatically be removed from the ignore list.

It really shouldn't require any input from us.

Just my 2¢.

Should be manually done for mining of course.

Of course collector limpets do ignore materials when you have a full quota and IIRC you can’t scoop them either.

A very logical suggestion, cmdr, and, as such, has zero chance of being implemented.

I guess we put this in the same pile as being able to see the distance... from my carrier... when ploting a jump.... FOR MY CARRIER. Nope, it's so much more fun to play "Guess that distance with random offset applied"!!

Yeah, the UI for this feature is horrible and has been since forever.

here we go with another upvote for some way to control this list apart from your contacts list - without being able to target something I cannot set it to do not ignore please :S
