[Bf-committers] uv's in edit mode

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

The tests with display of textures in Mesh editmode didn't satisfy (at  
all!).
Most evidently it's because the textured display really confuses all  
visual clues that makes solid-drawmode modeling nice now. Plus it's  
difficult to see which mode you're in too.

I also gave up on it because the drawobject.c and displist.c code  
should need total refactory as well, and that's now out of the focus  
for what I can do now. :)
(For example, I tried painting directly on a subsurf)

These (face/paint/edit) modes issue then is for another research  
cycle... for now I'll just make sure that switching between UV-FaceMode  
and EditMode is as nice as possible, copying selections and hide  
status.
