Dear David, I am a bit reluctant about the checkbox for technical reasons and because it would need additional menu items to show and hide and use it for different purposes, while its functionality would overlap with list functionality. What you may do to recognize compounds that are already part a list, you may draw these structure's background in a different color (once you have started a row list: right mouse click on the 'Structure' column title in the Table View -> Set Background Color... -> <List name>).
An alternative is to create a list filter that hides all compounds, which are already part of a list. Then stepwise assign the visible compounds to one or multiple lists untill all interesting compounds are gone or no compound is left.

Currently adding one compound to a list is done using the compound's popup menu. Adding all selected compounds to the list can be done from the list menu. Admittedly, both options are a little cumbersome and I am currently evaluating better options, e.g. Ctrl-Plus and Ctrl-Minus to add the current compound to the first(!) list. Maybe even better would be that a ALT-mouse-click could toggle list membership if the compound background is associated to a list. That would be as easy as a checkbox. What is your opinion?

Best wishes, Thomas
