I don't I can at the moment, but it would be a good idea.
Maybe.

Thanx
It would indeed be a nice feature, but I don't know how much work it would be to implement. Right now, I'll hazard a guess that gathering nodes are stored in tables based on their type (herb, ore, fish, etc), and then it's simply an icon id and coordinate set. To filter it by a specific type (without hurting performance), would mean filtering into a new table (or tables).

And, of course, the GUI part of selecting what to display. It would probably need a new config page, since a drop menu of checkboxes would be fairly big and cumbersome (especially if fishing nodes are added!).

I love the idea, and it would indeed be awfully handy... but it also sounds like a lot of work. One of the authors is welcome to come and prove me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.
