I would like to see some simple usability changes

Post by jackkirk »

I'm using CloudCompare on a major project and find I am repeatedly doing some things that some simple changes in the UI would really facilitate.

CASE 1: Apply Transformation tool (ctrl-t)

o Panel appears where used last time NOT always in same position right over where I'm working.
o Panel does not disappear unless OK or Cancel.
o On Axis, Angle tab:
o Under Translation:
o Below X: input box have

[X: 0.25 ]
<< >>

if << is tapped selected object/s are moved by -X and display is updated
if >> is tapped selected object/s are moved by +X and display is updated

o Ditto Y and Z

As an alternative a plugin with this functionality would be fine (with a keyboard shortcut preferably).

I would be willing to pay, within reason, for this to be done.

I have others of a similar ilk but will see what sort of response this generates.

Thanks...

Actually this change spec was very poorly conceived, a much simpler one is:

CASE 1: Apply Transformation tool (ctrl-t)

o Panel appears where it was used last time NOT in middle of work area (right over where I'm working).
o When OK tapped:
....o Panel does not disappear.
....o Selected item/s are moved and display is updated.
o When Cancel tapped:
...o Panel disappears.

I would be willing to pay, within reason, for this to be done.

Thanks...

Hi,

I'm am personally not able to make paid developments anymore, but maybe another motivated C++ developer might chime in.
