The invert is just temporary - it lets you specify what objects you want to show.

So for instance if you have a large quantity of objects hidden but only want to show 2 of them, the old way was pretty painful, you had to show everything and then re-hide the other objects again.

So the new way does a temporary invert that shows you which objects were hidden, and if you pick some of those and push "done" (or right-click or enter), just those that you selected will be shown. But if you want to show them all, push "done" without selecting anything and all hidden objects will be shown.

I realize that this adds some complexity to the hide command, and I was hesitant at first to make this change. However I decided it would be best in the long term to do it, because it ends up being just one additional click to get the old behavior of showing everything, and it provides pretty significant flexibility for more complex cases where there are more numerous hidden objects.

Let me know if it still seems weird after you have used it a little bit more. If it does then I will make an option so that you can revert it back to the "just always show everything" behavior.

It's normal - MoI doesn't really use double-clicks very much, what you did there was interpreted as 2 clicks.

The first right-click was the same as pushing "done" - this caused the hide command to exit and show all objects.

Then the second right-click happened while outside of a command - this is used to repeat the last command which in your case was "open". Part of the open command is to prompt for saving if any changes have been made...


If you want to show everything, just do a single right-click, not a double one.
