[Bf-modeling] Connect tool, functionality change: request for feedback

[Ray Mairlot]

Personally I'd be happy with it being an option in the toolbar exactly as 
you showed it. It seems like a logical extension of the existing tool rather 
than a separate one. That being said, when an option is in the toolbar I 
think it becomes slightly 'undiscoverable', at least to people who don't 
have the toolbar open by default.

The 'Sort Elements' tool seems to get around this by having its options 
listed in the Mesh> Sort Elements menu: Material, Cursor, Selected etc even 
though they just seem to be different options for the same tool. I don't 
know whether that's applicable here or whether discoverability is a separate 
issue to what you're asking.

Ray.

Hi, I was looking to make the connect tool support selection-order.

However this changes existing behavior in some cases, I've made it
optional, but interested in feedback.

Heres a video showing the changed functionality & the problem-case:
