I just created a SelectablePlugIn by copying EditablePlugIn and making a few trivial changes. It seems to work like a charm! Now, do we need Snappable, (Sp?) or should not Selectable imply not Snappable? It doesn't currently. Larry On 9/17/07, Larry Becker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi

This is the right way to go IMO, Larry/all. We added the Selectable option while building the Image framework, to avoid having image bounding boxes selected all the time. But we never pushed this out to be visible to the user. Time to do it, I guess! Have you thought about how to make this

mhm.. usecase: if you have activated a drawing tool (such as polygon drawing) then you can not select at the same time, right? .. so from this point of few, not selectable can/should imply not snappable, because slectable layers are still be snappable. so it could be named a double funtion

Good idea. So italics would mean NOT Selectable, right? I think Stefan's right - ultimately an icon change would be good too (or maybe a second icon showing the states). But the font change is good and quick to do now. Hey, I just thought of something which might be handy. In Swing

I actually would prefer to have switched icon in the layer menu (maybe for both editing and selecting). Because i am not sure that people recognize the change. but the image use can be defered to a later version Is there currently a Snappable setting on layers in OJ? Or is this still just
