Personally, I normally simplify an entire layer at once... for mapping purposes, or simply to reduce drawing time or for computational/space efficiency. It might be nice to also have the option to simplify selected features only, but if this was an option, then I would expect *only* those selected features to be simplified... and *not* their neighbouring features...
That's my two cents anyway, looking forward to trying it out! Carson -- Dr. Carson J. Q.
