Commerce>Sell>Sell Selected button
Would like to see the functionality of this button moved into the main interface so that we can see the change in profit as quantity changes.
The new "Sell" modal dialogue has more functionality than just being a random dialogue. While you're in the Sell dialogue, you are receiving realtime updates about changes in demand. When you're in the normal Station interface, you only get updates once per minute. We do this to reduce overhead on having, say, a whole bunch of people idling in stations (and receiving constant updates as, say, trade convoys come in and impact local demand).
So, anyway, we can have the main interface buttons also show demand impact (strictly speaking, they do already, just they're limited to only assuming per-1-item cost). But the demand will not be as up-to-date as the true Sell dialogue.
As long as people are cool with that, we'll take a look at it. I knew a lot of other interface changes and tweaks were going to be needed as a result of this new demand setup, but.. Ray didn't end up getting it all working until like 3am this morning, so we didn't really have a lot of time for extra interface testing (as was apparent from the bug that happened).

My fault, I should have been clearer. The modal dialogue does shows the total Sell price changes but I'm usually more interested in the changes to Unit Loss and Total Loss on the quantity selected. If Unit Loss and Total Loss could be added to the dialogue (or just Total Loss if I had to choose), I'd be a happy trader.
Ok, added this as a ticket.
Woohoo! Also, I should clarify my clarification (even though I'm sure you figured all this out already) as I wasn't completely coherent last week being heavily medicated. Correct path to button in question is Commerce>Commodities>Sell>Sell Selected. And the fields I was referring to were for both profit and loss so Unit Profit/Loss and Total Profit/Loss.
many many things need to be added to the modal window. like purchase price, profit per cu and demand level.
