God, yes please.

Something else I've found annoying me lately. I have 2 retainers of my 4 dedicated to holding crafting supplies (and 2 is not enough by far) and I'm finding as I search for materials that I have a lot of overlap between them. So I'm wasting space by having say 35 rainbow cotton bolls on one retainer and 15 on the other. I try to keep these things under control, but the micromanagement of individual items going to the right retainers EVERY TIME is just a little much. It'd be great if there were a way to either easily see which retainers are holding what, say in the item tooltip, or easily consolidate partial stacks of things across retainers. I'd take either of those.
