On the topic of bound select: I made some changes that allow for, instead of bound select, a sort of drag-select wherein the user drags the mouse over the specific things he wants selected. I modified the circle select to make it. It's a bit more precise than a bound select. If you want to try it out, you can find it here:
https://github.com/BSVino/Blender I haven't built a distributable yet because I haven't had time to get the scons build to work and/or get cpack to package Blender properly.

I've already done a bunch of work on this. I have a lot of ideas on how to improve Blender's UI and I have some time to devote. I submitted a patch<http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=29945&group_id=9&atid=127>before which allows for left-click select and also drag and drop with the transform tools, but nothing happened with it. If I were on the Blender team I could commit this and all of the other work I've done on Blender (see the commit history<https://github.com/BSVino/Blender/commits/traditional>in my GitHub account) directly to the project. Here's all of the stuff I've done with Blender that I would love to see in trunk: - Added some more manipulator handles that move an object locked to 2 dimensions instead of 1. Sort of like pressing shift. - Hovering over a manipulator with the mouse highlights it. - The above mentioned drag-select and drag-drop features. - The ability to bind a key to go directly to vert edge or face mode from object mode. - An option for hiding the 3D cursor completely. (I know this would be unpopular - it would be off by default. Some people hate the 3D cursor.) I'd love to join the team. -- Jorge "Vino" Rodriguez [email protected] twitter: VinoBS 919.757.3066 _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
