Hi folks,

I've got a proposal for making the map tag toolbar a little more user
friendly, which I'll implement tomorrow if there aren't any major
objections.

1. Merge "Tag side" and "Add to tagged" buttons

At the moment there are two buttons which do the same thing: they add
a face to the list of tagged faces. One of them is for the special
case where no items are tagged, and one for the case where one or more
items are tagged. I propose removing the "Tag side" button and making
"Add to tagged" detect if nothing is tagged.

2. Make "Remove from tagged" succeed if nothing is tagged

Fairly self-explanatory.

3. Put "Glue to tagged" button with other gluing/tagging buttons

Where it's currently located, the "Glue to tagged" button seems a bit
out of context. I propose placing it in the central section of the
toolbar with the other buttons that carry out gluing and tagging
operations (it would be the leftmost button).

4. Add section for non-tagging texture tools

At the moment, texture positioning tools which work with tags are
mixed in with those that don't. I propose creating a new section of
the toolbar containing "Mirror flip tex", "Choose texture", "Position
texture tool" and "Texture flag settings".

In addition, some of the tools will be renamed, and the error/hint
messages made more explanatory (it took me a while to work out what
"Mirror flip tex" was actually supposed to do; I thought it should
mirror _and_ flip the texture!)

You need to flame me soon if you don't like any of this stuff: I'm
going to commit the changes on Monday if you don't.

Peter


P.S. Many of the the tagging error messages have the word "multipal"
in them, which is one I've never seen before. ;)
