Good morning,

Let me add a bit to this discussion as well. I've been working on the 
crystallography extension in Avogadro2 and I find it exceeding difficult to use 
the CrystalTools while editing or creating molecules.

1. It takes several clicks in and out of view mode along with renaming the 
"molecule" before the Crystal QT plugin recognizes that there is even a 
molecule present. From what I can tell in edit mode the following check returns 
false for a new molecule.

crystal.cpp:
if (m_molecule)


2. Once a unit cell has been added it is not visible in edit mode. The 
following appears to return false.



3. Crystal operations, like filling a unit cell, show nothing in edit mode. 
They appear to work and the output is present once the user changes to view 
mode.



All of these operations just worked in the 0.7 release and it didn't care if 
the user had selected an edit tool or a view tool. One of the great features of 
Avogadro is that the molecule was always editable and the programmer didn't 
have to make many, or even any, special considerations when writing tools.
