Improved Geometry Graph

[Arg Arg]

Hello Wings 3D Forum!
This is my first post coz i got a x-mas whish-list to the geometry-graph of Wings3D.

i think it is possible to add these nice features by the wings-core-coders.
just a idea by my side to improve the workflow a lot.

thank you for your interest!

====================
Improved Geometry Graph:
====================

a new additional "SOLO-VIEW" button for objects
hides instantly all other objects and shows just the selected one
old selection mask still reamains after deactivate solo-view

a new additional "INVERT-VIEW" button for objects
hides instantly all shown-objects and shows instantly all hidden objects

a one-click-flow-selection for all geometry-graph-buttons
-click and hold mouse-button to float-select the buttons
-release mouse-button at last geometry-graph-button
-everything is set to
"shown" or "hidden",
"locked" or "unlocked",
"wire" or "solid"
in one smooth mouse-movement while holding the mouse-button
and dragging the cursor over the geometry-graph-icon-buttons

all buttons for folder controls



=========================================
i added a NEW Picture with the complete wings-friendly
Geometry-Graph UI and wings-friendly icons
that should be a good guide if anyone is interested
=========================================

- Please, take a look at my attached picture -

Unless I'm misunderstanding, the good news is that most of your suggestions are already supported actually.
Just mouseover the name, eye,lock and shading icons of the GG window slowly while you take a look at the info bar, and see that, as usual in Wings3D, middle or right clicking on these icons doesn't have the same effect as left-clicking on them.

Personally, I'd like the GG to LOSE one annoying feature, or at least a way to deactivate that in the preferences: the automatic alphabetical sorting of the folder and objects names. quite, quite annoying.

An new column to list the polygon count of each object in the geometry graph, and the total in folder(s) would be nice too, for my game prototypes.

always discovering something old "news" in wings.

ok... so, what i only miss is:

- the invert-view

- a solo-object-view (previous selection mask remains after deactivate solo-object-view)

- float selection of buttons (one-click-drag-selection like in blender and other programms)

- same control-buttons for folders

and your ideas, showing up the poly count and disable auto-sort
are also fine

I agree that being able to drag-hide (or lock) objects would be super useful. Also, folder controls would be really helpful as well.
