My very brief testing seems to indicate that the patch works quite well. Thank you Micheus for another great add-on!
I do have a couple of questions:
Is there any way to select more than one item (but not all) in the scroll window? I tried holding down the control key and the shift key to see if I could select more than one but couldn't. Perhaps it's not possible in this little dialog box.
In the "selection options" section, "make all new selection" is a little bit vague such that I had to experiment with it to figure out what it meant. If I am not mistaken, the reason someone would check this box is to make sure that the newly-merged items are selected versus unselected which is the default behavior if this box is left unchecked. Therefore, I might name this something like "select newly-merged objects" or "merged objects selected" or something like that. What do you think?
Additionally, I might change "add to current" and "replace the current" to "add to current scene selection" and "replace current scene selection". Or perhaps "add to current selected objects" and "replace current selected objects". Something along those lines.
One final thing, I can't understand why the "keep the current" option is there. Perhaps I'm not understanding fully the operation of the "selection options" section but it seems to me like this option is superfluous. If you want the current selection kept after the merge then you simply don't check the "make all new selection" box. You wouldn't select the "make all new selection" box only to then check the "keep the current" radio button. Would you? Perhaps I'm not understanding.
As a quick illustration:
=============================
Merged object(s) selection state
-----------------
[ ] Merged object(s) selected
-----------------
( ) Add to current selected object(s)
( ) Replace current selected object(s)
=============================
Keep up the great work!
