delete button

Hi Michael ...

I would really like to have a 'delete' button in the UI somewhere rather than way off to the lower left.

Perhaps just a duplicate one so there would be a choice. It could be with the 'edit' drop down menu.

I seem to use it often and it disrupts my concentration to have to break from the UI and the drawing to find it.

I find I most often use my keyboard 'delete' key but that means taking my hand off the mouse or crossing over with my left hand.

cheers,
eric

Hi eric, the problem is that the edit menu is pretty full of stuff, there isn't really much room to add a whole lot more buttons in it without it getting kind of unwieldly large.

One reason the delete button is separate on the bottom toolbar is so that it's always available in the top level UI no matter which palettes are currently active on the side pane.

I do want to work on making a mechanism to customize the button layout to your own personal preference though. It is currently possible to do that but it involves editing some files in a text editor, the files that control the UI are .htm files inside the \ui subfolder inside of MoI's main installation folder. That can be kind of involved if you are not accustomed to editing HTML text files though.

- Michael

Hi Michael ...
Thanks for your reply.
I would be happy if there were a duplicate 'delete' button next to 'browser' so that it was always available. I just find it personally awkward where it is as I use it so often.
cheers,
eric

I've attached a tweaked version of the UI that should do that for you.

To install it, exit MoI and then copy the attached file SidePaneFooter.htm over top of the original version which is in the \ui subfolder inside of MoI 2.0's main installation folder.

That should then modify your MoI to have a delete button next to the 'browser' button on the bottom-right area.
