Well so long wings 3d

...that I can't believe you never had seen that extra option (loop cut on/off).
The right hand side of information line is used by many commands to extend its options.

(or am I misreading what you wrote ?! )

No no, I definitely did miss it all this time, it's just I personally find it a bit impractical to have the extra information on the right side of the screen, simply because at larger resolutions it can become completely lost -- insofar as there is no reason to be looking at the bottom right corner of the screen in Wings.

This is especially true for most Left to right languages, our eyes have been trained to start at the left side of the screen, and with the Connect Tools information ending midway, it was easy to miss that there was an extra option way over on the other side of the screen.

All pertinent information in Wings is currently displayed on the left hand side of the screen, except for these small tidbits. I'd be curious as to the reasoning behind this? Was it a programmatic limitation or, probably more likely, a want to keep the UI as condensed as possible?

Personally, I'd prefer ALL information from Wings to be displayed on the left side, even if it was in the style of the component count / length / etc. However, I do realize that this is far from a priority, especially given the current climate around Wings.

As for mentioning connect tool versus connect command, I am not quite sure what you meant by that either. I *was* talking about the connect tool (in the tools menu). The way it currently works gives no visual feedback as to what WILL happen instead leaving the user to guess at what the angle of the loop might end up being. It's all very view dependant, which feels to me counter intuitive to what a user might want to do. It also doesn't help that the tool is reset every time you use it, making consecutive looping actually quite slow, BUT that is another matter entirely.

Perhaps however I am simply misunderstanding the usage cases for this aspect of the Connect Tool?

As I said previously, I love how Wings goes about most of its functionality, it's a solid piece of kit that almost never fails me.
