actually my suggestion wasn't that advanced:

* the tool should work on just one layer

* the tool should be able to fill all holes and/or spaces (with
polygons) in one go

or

* allow the user click on a specific hole/space, fill it (with a
polygon) and pop-up the dialog for attributes


there is a plugin (does not seem mantained) that works in a similar
way, so I guess that it implemets a detection code, anyway it just
fills holes (not spaces), one at the time, and does not ask to fill
attributes.



cheers!
