"Divide by..."-function

So it's getting kind of tedious when you have to manually divide large stacks of items (like planetary commodities to be transported to factory colonies) into piles/stacks with distinct quantities.

How about a function in the right-click menu called "Divide by" that let's you input a number and it autmatically divides a large stack evenly according to the number you input?

Should be pretty simple to implement, and also really useful.

Are you dividing the same kind of item, or separate,

The same kind of item. Like let's say I have a stack of 38400 units of Biomass and I want to divide that stack into ten smaller stacks with 3840 units each (something I have to do daily right now in order to load my factory colonies with enough materials to produce for 24 hours), i just right-click the stack of Biomass, choose "Divide by" and then input the number 10 into the pop-up prompt and hit enter, and the large stack gets divided into 10 smaller stacks with 3840 units in each.

As it is right now I have to press and hold shift, move the stack, input 3840 into the prompt and repeat this nine times in a row. Which is kind of annoying when you have to do the same process with nine different kinds of materials every day.

I suppose not a bad idea, but on one condition.

CCP has to put some funny error message when I divide by 0 :)

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.

And move the stack that was divided by 0 to oblivion.

I thought that was obvious so it felt redundant to even mention. :P

My suggestion for an error message would be: "Sorry, only Chuck Norris can divide by 0"

How about "You broke the accountant's calculator. Good job. You're going to be the one paying for it" and the it subtracts 10 isk from your account :)

That would be a NAN exception and could be circumvented by putting the lowest value to 1.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!
