  Two improvements to the wanted list would greatly increase the workflow of buying
pieces on the site.

1. Quantity, the actual quantity desired not the minimum. I can understand the
reasons for the min quantity, however I believe the desired quantity would be
much more useful. With this information two new abilities can be done.
- As we order parts the quantity could automatically lower.
- The item count in "by shop" could be limited to our desired quantity making
it reflect our desire for there parts versus there stockpile of a single part.


I use the remarks field for this. Or create a duplicate wanted list with all
quantities set to 1 and use that to see what stores have the most variety of
parts.

  2. Bulk Wanted List Load.
I would be nice to load say 100 parts at once using CSV.

You mean this?
http://www.bricklink.com/wantedXML.asp

It has to be XML format. There are a number of tools to generate the XML format.

Adding functionality to also accept CSV is more like adding a replicate functionality,
rather than fixing things that are broken or creating new improvements. Given
the demonstrated speed of improvements on BL 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1
I think it is essential to focus on the former.
