Folders

[micheus]

And proposed an idea that it display the number of items currently stored in the folder.

That was already added. Thanks.


I don't use much the folders system, but I also liked more the old way.

The problem is the old way functionalities was designed for Wings3D - the UI was under our control. For the current one we are limited to the way it works for the OS's. That bring us some facilities but also limitations (compared to that one we had control).
The old way to act over the tiny icons on Geometry graph:
LMB: acts over the current object;
MMB: acts over the objects in the current folder;
RMB: acts over the all objects in the Geometry graph;

MMB isn't available for us in a couple of UI controls, then that old way was adapted to still work, but a little different:
LMB: acts over the current object;
RMB: acts over the objects in the current folder;
LMB+SHIFT: acts over the all objects in the Geometry graph;

I'm not saying that we cannot do something to make it better, but sometimes we have limitations.
