The current system of selling minerals is quite inconvenient. Due to the 20% tax for selling and then re-buying minerals for use in ship and planet modules, I've started saving everything above Hydium. To go through my daily mineral production of ~7000 units, I have to click "receive minerals," then type in the numbers for all four of the lower minerals (which don't even net me much profit anyway,) and hit sell four separate times. It would be much easier if there were individual check boxes next to minerals, so I could just check box the four lowest and be on my way.
I'm not much of a coder (actually going to take a computer programming class this fall semester), but it doesn't seem like it's overly complex.
On a side note, I receive more Pawlacite than I do Erixion, and I don't spend either of them. Interesting stuff. This is also a long-term thing, not just some freak anomaly.

when you hit sell without typing in any numbers it automatically sells all of that mineral type. This requires one less click then your idea.

If the "sell all" button required a check for each mineral, it would be more useful. If you are saving 1 or 2 minerals, you could still sell the rest in 1 sale.

An omission check box might be nice. You could "sell all" with the exception of kurenite or something. When I'm storing too many modules and have a crap load of minerals saved up, it could save me hundreds of clicks.

This idea needs to be implimented bigtime. If you are trying to stockpile the gigher minerals it is a big pain! Big Dan please consider this idea. I like the idea of an "keep mineral" check box next to each one so you can click it then click "sell all"+"confirm" and sell everything except that mineral. Thanks for the suggestion!

You can sell a whole stack on its own. Just click the sell next to that one mineral.
