[Ipe-discuss] changing primary selection

[Thon, Michael]

Dear all,

I have an alternative proposal how to get the desired behavior without changing the current workflow:

Currently, if one deselects the main selection, some other selected object becomes the new main selection (and I cannot see an obvious pattern here). I suggest that instead on deselecting the main selection, the *last selected object* becomes the new main selection.

So this means, changing the main selection among many selected objects could then be achieved by:
- selecting the new desired main object
- deselecting the old main object
- selecting the old main object

Just an idea.
Michael
