My requests for some future Wings release

[optigon]

Not ignoring this thread, but not really sure how to reply either.

What I would like to address in Wings are things that bug me.
Boring stuff like menu organisation and workflow concepts... trying to get more out of the Wings we have.

For instance, Sweep bugs me. I love what Sweep does, but I don't like the limitations and the guess work towards the result. Not sure how I would do it, but I can state some what ifs.

What If...

• Command arguments could be changed on the fly?
• Secondary Selections could be changed on the fly?
• There were widgets to show what the Axis or Secondary Selections were active?
  • And what if they could be selected to be changed on the fly?
  • And maybe select which one from the Numeric Dialog Box?
    
• Numeric command options like [1], [2], [3], etc were available in the Numeric Entry Boxes as toggles or radio buttons?
• Repeat Commands were available from the Numeric Entry Boxes?
  

How would changes like these make Sweep better?
How would chnages like these make Bend or Shear easier to use?
How would changes like these make all drag op commands better?

Quote:(1) Shortcut a command so that Magnet (Alt+click) options becomes available at the moment the command is called by that hotkey (then user could read at info line: "Pick outer boundary point for magnet influence" and Alt+R for "Magnet options")

Could probably add that to the above too if it happens.

The Numeric Dialog box would become a way to stop and reconfigure a command. It might even need renaming if all these changes happened. But using [Tab] to interrupt a command is a good way to get mouse focus again, make some changes and continue.

Those are the kind of things I am interested in I guess; smoothing out the interface and making more possible with what we have.

Food for thought anyway.
