A window for Saved Views [plug-in] (updated: 2013/Jan/07)

Saved Views can help us a lot if we need to move around an object while modeling it - by preserving the correct location.

I already used it this way and I found it very "bureaucratic" - mainly when we need to alternate between them several times (View -> saved Views -> Jump -> <saved_camera>).

These days Fonte Boa talked about speed up it by using the same way we did with Selection Group - a window with single click selection.

Here is it. It uses the main operations and I added one new: Replace (it replaces/updates the view data for an already saved view)

I don't like the concept of "Current" camera used on Wings, since we can move the camera and that "Current" is not the current location but the last saved view selected. Anyway, I left it highlighted.

Operations when pop-up menu activated in a "blanck" area:

Operations for item with the mouse over:


Download on my Google Disk
*-erts.5.8 is compatible with Wings 1.3.1 -> 1.4.1
*-erts.5.9 is compatible with future Wings release (> 1.4.1) (updated 2013/Jan/07)

Download the .tar file and use File-> Install Plugin (it should work)


[Edit]
It was added option for select which Geometry window you want save the view (in case there are many opened). Thanks maker.
