[Qgis-developer] Advanced editing branch

[John C. Tull]

Tom & Marco,

First, the move and split feature tools are great. Those will be very  
useful. I had no problem using those in a test polygon on OS X after  
the geos fix. Are there more features from this branch that are not so  
obvious (map tools and digitizing prefs maybe)? I was not able to find  
documentation on the project.

A while back, I had put in a feature request for multiple vertex  
deletion. This is something that exists in OpenJump, but I much prefer  
Qgis and am hopeful that this will happen at some point. Marco had  
commented about the possibility of implementing this, but it was in  
the idea phase. This would be an immensely useful tool and could be  
extended to allow moves of a subset of vertices with the move tool in  
addition to multiple deletion if a vertex selection tool were  
developed. See this thread for a recap:

Also, will there be an undo feature. I recall someone discussing  
adding a program-wide undo feature. This would be good for handling  
editing goofs.

I appreciate your great coding efforts. Good luck on the progress.

Thanks,
John
