Few Ideas to make the Object Role assignment more user-friendly



  • While experimenting with transferring a style from one object group to another group,
    I noticed a few things that I think could be made more user-friendly.

    First, automatically assign a name to an object.
    When you give an object a name. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be
    better to automatically assign a name here, e.g., Object1, 2, 3, etc.

    Secondly, the "More Roles" panel
    Scrolling is only possible with the mouse wheel or moving the slider on the right.
    As this list is very long. I would appreciate it if a left-click in the scroll bar advanced
    the list one page, and if there were either a search field or the option to type the first letter
    of a role, for example, "g," and the roles that begin with "g" were displayed.

    @Subpath The first one is a bit difficult: having a default object name would create a lot of redundant names inside groups, with a lot of vectors.

    For the second one: I will try to add this, maybe selecting a role could trigger the assignment of a name if the name field is empty.

    If the first suggestion isn't so easy to implement, I have no problem
    with it not being implemented. It was just a suggestion, and a nice-to-have.

    Regarding the second suggestion:
    I would definitely like a click in the scroll bar to scroll a page forward e.g backward.
    page. Of course, I'll leave any other additional implementations up to you.
