#### Ability to "lock" items you don't want to accidentally donate/give/drop/etc.

There should be the ability to "lock" an item, for those of us who are paranoid about donating or selling something we don't intend to by accident (this has happened to me; thankfully it was just a hatchet, so I easily bought another, but it happened due to my computer lagging and it was so fast that I didn't even see what I'd lost until I checked my tools). Maybe there could also be a way to lock an entire bag, so that everything in it was safe. We'd still be able to use the items, like if you're collecting music blocks, you'd still be able to play it, but it wouldn't show up in the donate box and any attempt to drag it to a vendor or shrine or other person would fail.

- i think this is a good idea, however there is a ton of room for scripting error. I guarantee if this were put into action, there would be a problem where noone could use the items ever and they would just take up space

- Locking bags is a GOOD IDEA.

- How about another type of bag - say a lockable bag or case, perhaps a trunk, whatever - the contents of which don't appear in the animal feeding and shrine-donating inventory lists?
  I'm forever feeding piggies and batterflys on things I didn't intend to, donating the wrong stuff to shrines and so on.
  It would be nice if, when one has cooked up a batch of delicious expensive high-energy foodstuffs, one could pack them away and go about feeding piggies safe in the knowledge that one wasn't about to accidentally proffer, say, 200 hearty gruels, for nothing more than a satisfied burp in return.
  For animal feeding, too, it'd make sense if you couldn't offer more than one slot's worth at a time, regardless.

- Yes! I accidentally donated a Firefly cubie during a Rook attack.

- I'd like this to apply to eggs, pig bait, and tree poison as well. I can't carry these items around because they are too easy to inadvertently use.

- YES PLEASE. It is punitive to make it too easy for lagging players to feed/gift/donate every single item they own of a particular thing.
  Make the default ONE OF THESE THINGS, not ALL OF THESE THINGS.

- Rook attacks lag for me, and when I get to the donation phase, suddenly I find out I already donated and all the wrong things. The ability to lock, say, my toolboxes and the three pink bags where I carry The Good Stuff--that would rock.

- I agree. Too easy to be, say, panicked in a rook attack and donate all my cubimals. +1!!
