Yeah, but if you have a huge layer loaded and you do Select All you then burn a lot of cycles repainting the selected features, don't you?
<rant> As for developer-driven - I know that myself and Paul at least use JUMP as a key component of our other development projects. So it's developer-driven in a good way - we are both users and developers. One reason I developed JUMP in the first place was because I was frustrated with existing GIS tools which dumbed down their functionality in order "not to confuse users". I.e. not to confuse them with GIS trivialities like actual coordinate values, the exact description of a geometry, etc etc. I hope that OpenJUMP can continue to provide this kind of support for power users and yes, developers! </rant> M Stefan Steiniger wrote: > mhm..
