Hi Przemas, it was actually a high priority during Moi's initial design phase to not have the object selection popup that I set up in Rhino, because it is so distracting popping up in your face all the time.
Moi does basically the opposite of that by showing you selection feedback while you are moving your mouse around so you can see what is going to be selected when you click. But the main area where this falls short is when there are curves right over top of edges like you mention. I would like to figure out some kind of pop up for this particular situation but I have not been able to come up with a good design for it as of yet.
SVG format ? For this fun free Snap online from Berkeley! https://snap.berkeley.edu/snap
Works like a charm but here i must convert it! :)

@Michael: For me a simple setting where you would be able to set a selection priority would suffice. As you already noticed it becomes a hassle only in a certain type of scenarios, for example when extruding.
Hi Michael, would it be possible to include resizing for background images based on values to be entered (see example photo)? Scaling with the mouse is too inaccurate.

Please try updating the ImagePropertiesDialog.htm file (in the ui subfolder in the install) with the new version attached here. That should then give width and height controls on the image properties dialog:
Hi aphaits, unfortunately fillets like that take something like 50 man years of development time to implement.
So it's not something that is easy for me to add directly on my own, it needs to come from a licensed library. There is a library that I've had my eye on that seems promising, but I'm not sure yet how difficult it will be to integrate it into MoI.
I've already worked on attempting similar integration with 2 other libraries so far without success yet.

Update the MoI v4 Chamfer.htm and Chamfer.js (in the install's commands folder) with the attached versions and also put the attached Swap.png inside the install's ui folder.
That should then give you a swap button like this:
'Quite often after creating the object from curves I want to do some operations using edges. And as I have curves in the same area I have to hide curves first. This quickly gets annoying.
In Rhino we get a little pop-up when there are multiple objects in the same place so the user can pick the desired one. That, or some setting which would allow you to define priority (for example edges over curves) would be great.'
Revit has a function where you just hit 'tab' and it cycles through the objects the mouse is hovering over. I miss it in other softwares...Very very handy, quick, and yes far less intrusive than the Rhino pop-up...
