there is, cut keeps them in clipboard so you can paste. remove just deletes them. > 2) Could we gather layer plugins and feature plugins together > - Remove Selected Layers > - Copy Selected Layers > - Combine Selected Layers > ***** > - Add New Features > - Paste *Features* > - Delete All Features > - Select *All* Features > yes, but that would be highly unusual. 'cut/copy/paste' are standard edit routines, which are grouped together in the edit menu of every software i know. usually they are followed by 'delete'. i took the liberty to separate 'delete', just to visualize that this is a destructive edit. also, from a usability standpoint, menus should be as similar as possible so users get used the order of entries and do not need to look around. for example - ideally the 'Edit' menu should have the same entries as the 'LayerView'-context menu. the 'Layer' menu the same as the 'LayerTree'-context menu. of that is not always possible but we are pretty close i'd say. ..ede ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
