Hi Danny,

I think it's still necessary - one thing is that the scene browser is intended to be something you could just leave turned off and ignore if you want to, if you have a small resolution screen or something like that you may want to not have it turned on all the time.

Also for example the Invert function is not completely covered by the scene browser.

Like if you quickly draw 10 circles and then decide you want to delete all of those except for 1, you can select that one, then do invert and delete. The scene browser would not help you for that particular kind of instance unless you had done some further steps to organize those circles into different categories or something. Stuff similar to that.

So I think there's still a need for those selection tools. I don't tend to use them from that menu at all either, I instead use keyboard shortcuts for those but I think they are probably good for beginners to have available on that menu so they are not very hidden.

Well, you can edit the UI files if you want, for example all those palettes are set up by stuff inside the file \ui\SidePane.htm .

But that tends to be a maitenence problem once you start doing that, since every time you get a new version you will then have to re-apply your UI customizations.

In v3 I want to work on having some kind of "advanced tools" menu or something like that where I could stash some bigger lists of tools.
