adding a column to a grid and filterting selection lock

[llegrand]

Is there a way to add a column to the product listing grid?  Or will you consider adding the cost field into the next version?

For those of us that have frequent cost changes  which also impact the selling price it would be much easier and  considerably faster if the product grid had the cost field on that screen for editing purposes.  Rather than having to go to the edit screen at catalog/product/update&product_id and scroll down to the field.

Additionally,  a way to "lock" in a filter criteria until it is reset or deselected would speed up editing.   Currently one makes a filter selection,  then if you proceed to an edit,  a clone,  any action that takes you away from the grid,  when you return you have to start all over with the filter, etc.  If you could "lock in" the filter until you were done with that section - it would be much quicker when doing maintenance work.

Along with lock in of the filter - it would be great if you could extend the view setting to stay in place until replaced with a new selection.  If one is editing using a filter and sets it to All or more than the deault 10,  again  it refreshes back to the 10 with each return to the product grid.

Thanks for considering.

There was a plan to make admin listing grid customizable with ability to add and remove columns and save settings.

This is still in schedule. Possibly will be together with admin interface redesign by summer.
