[Bf-committers] New 'merge tools' patch submitted to the patch tracker.

[Geoffrey Bantle]

I have just posted a new patch to the patch tracker
(patch no. 3345) for some improved tools for the
'merge menu' that I coded over the last week or so. 

Included is 'merge at last vertex' 'collapse edges'
and 'collapse faces'. A summary of the features and
what they do can be found here:

As an aside, I added a patch a couple weeks ago for
keyboard access to edge loop select and edge ring
select but was never able to get an email off to the
list about it (patch number 3195). If you look at the
patch theres a little more to it than just calling the
loop select routines when a key is pressed, and allows
for building up complex selection sets quickly. This
works great when combined with blenders current mouse
access.
