A16 - Weapon and Apparel specific storage not working

In this enclosed save, I have set up specific weapon and clothing storage. By specific type, with 66% HP minimum, no quality minimum, normal-priority stockpile. However no weapons/clothing fitting the parameters will be stored in those zones. Nothing will be stored there. In the save, just below the trade beacon (upper right part of the colony) you will see six zones set up while the game was paused immediately before saving. You can see a normal plasteel longsword sitting in one of these zones. Start the game and without prompting a pawn will quickly come and move that longsword to the low-priority junk stockpile. Eventually all of those new zones will be cleared out but the junk pile will have plenty of items that should fit in.

In a similar note on the left side of the colony near the workshop there are a bunch of more specific zones that I set up some time ago. They are also sitting empty. Weapons racks with similar settings were also used at one point, but they've been uninstalled.

This has not been a problem prior to a16, this sort of organization is pretty normal for me.

Got it, here's the fix.
Tick ON Allow non-dead man's apparel.
Tick ON Allow smeltable and non-smeltable weapons.

Since this is currently in Bugs, will mention that this is WAD and not a bug.

Thanks, this definitely seems like counterintuitive behavior. Maybe it's just because I was so used to the old system.

For example, it would be like if you had to click "allow non-rotten items" rather than having to select
"allow rotten items." Anyway when I want to set up a specific stockpile and I clear all then reselect the very specific items that should be stored there, wouldn't it make more sense to have to opt-in for the item I don't want, rather than opt-in for the item I do?
I'm not sure what WAD is but hopefully it's like UI suggestions or something because I'd like to re-file there. :)

Anyway thanks for your help!

WAD = works as designed. Though maybe not a good design choice. Bringing this up in Suggestions is not a bad idea. I'd like to see it changed to make more sense, and less confusion.
