Description

« Hide

The "Select Tool" submenu offers "Focus, Move, Edit, Create, and Land". These 5 menu options open the "Build Floater". Since they open a window (floater), and thus allow the user to view it, they should be remanded to, and accessible from, the "View" menu.

The Tools menu (where the submenu lives now) is only visible (under RC 1.20) when the Build floater is open. This submenu is the only way (via the menus) to OPEN the Build Floater. As such, this submenu needs to be removed to another menu.. so that the Build Floater can be opened FROM the menus.

I've moved it there in my menu cleanup (~~VWR-7060~~). One thing I struggled with was trying to find something better than "select tool" for it. I was thinking something along the lines of "World tools" but I dunno. If you think of anything better, let me know.

Resolving as "won't finish" since the tools menu autohiding was reverted in 1.21. If there's any other reason for moving these menu options, please reopen, but the problem here is now gone (or at least, will be as soon as 1.21 hits release).
