statioin menu position persists upon re-dock

This seems to be self-explanatory--

if you are in [Commerce> Commodities> Buy] when you launch, your station menu will be in the same place when you dock again.

Could be an interface option with two levels:

At Local Station-- menu position would persist until you left the sector
Across All Stations-- menu position would simply persist as left it upon launch

So, basically, you want the station menu to remain in whatever configuration it was the last time you used it, between launches?

Yes.

Okay. Noted.

Probably not going to do this short-term, but I want to re-do the station interface completely, and this is a good target to tack onto that general (and large) list of things.

Inc: cool!...at least it's in your mental works for later :)

Lux: um, i said "Could be an Interface Option" ;)

"but I want to re-do the station interface completely," thus spake Incarnate.

And this would be why I've abandoned a significantly large project... lol.

Never fear, refactoring and rejiggering to work in free floating dialogs has been mildly entertaining!

Uhh. Ok. That's a bit off-topic, but what I mentioned is also not a "surprise", since I called it out in the last Newsletter.

...and some of us actually read the newsletters! It's rather non-coincidental that was the exact date I abandoned development of said plugin ;-)

anyway, maybe a quick plugin-hack to store and restore state of the interface... hmm.
