[Qgis-developer] Vertex editor

[Saber Razmjooei]

The new changes assume:
 - User always wants to move a vertex
 - Only one single vertex is selected

But in general, the node tool is also heavily used for deleting, adding and moving vertices. With the new behaviour it is a bit confusing for users how the other tasks can be done, when it gets automatically locked on a single node.

Cheers,
Saber

Is there a possibility to suppress vertex editor popup whenever a node
is selected?

Mmm, nice addition though!
But maybe it lacks an option to not use it :-)

Another observation: when I create a line, and use the nodetool to edit
one line, after clicking on a node, it immediately 'sticks' to the mouse
and moves. In 2.8 the vertex only get's 'selected' and after this
selecting you can move it. Is this intended behaviour?

Yes it is. Although, there will be another pre-selection state which will correspond to 2.8 behavior.
Although, on first click it will free the node.
The idea is that you don’t need to keep mouse button pressed while moving the node to allow using advanced digitising.

Marco has still some work to do in the node tool, you can follow discussion here:
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/13276

Regarding the table view, I don’t know if Marco will allow disabling it. At least, it would be nice to just hide it.
