Description Martin Stolpe 2012-10-04 09:21:42 UTC

When working with connectors I would have liked the following features:

Context senstive menus for connectors:
- When right clicking on a connector line offer option to insert points
- When right clicking on a connector point offer option to delete point

Are there plans to offer options on a context sensitive basis? Currently I can select to either display toolbars or to disable them. But the "Gluepoint" toolbar doesn't make any sense when I have selected a connector. Another example is that when I right click on a connector line there are the following options which I don't understand:
"Edit Points": selecting or deselecting this option doesn't make any difference (at least I haven't found out what the difference is)
"Alignement": This options doesn't make sense for me as connectors a connected to sticky points. Alignment only makes sense to me for the objects the connectors are connected to.

Is there a wiki page or a forum with discussions about UI improvements? I don't like mailing lists as they don't offer the possibility to subscribe to certain topics and ignore all other messages.


Best regards
Martin

For the last question - mailing lists are where all the planning and action goes. Just the easiest way to share with everyone and keep a record of everything. Wiki requires people to edit wiki pages which is a pain (personally I hate it). I understand your concern with controlling what you see and don't see on mailing lists - you could get a digest and then just quickly browse through it - the UX mailing list isn't all that popular compared to QA/Dev list which can become a bit overwhelming :)

That being said:
