When testing this it's clear that it's a totally flawed concept. What happens is this: 1. Mapper selects a brush face and the shader is copied to the clipboard automatically. 2. Mapper then selects a destination brush face where they wish to then copy the shader. 3. Because of the new feature, the destination brush face shader is also copied to the clipboard, overwriting the shader from step 1. 4. When mapper pastes shader onto the new face, nothing changes because they are copying and pasting the existing shader that's already there. I can't really think of a way to make this work off the top of my head, without involving multiple clipboards and things like that. The added complexity isn't something worth introducing. If anyone has an idea how to make this work I'm open to suggestions. I have another idea about a different way to solve my original requirement. I'll see if I can articulate that in a new issue perhaps. |

What if you hold a key for enabling the feature, instead of an option? That way the copying can be selectively enabled within the same workflow. |

Hmmm. Maybe a new key + mouse combination. Currently I select a face using a configuration called 'Select Faces' defined in Edit -> Mouse Bindings -> Camera View. Currently it's set to use CTRL+SHIFT+ LMB. Maybe we add a new one called 'Select Faces and Copy Shader', and for example it could be configured as CTRL+SHIFT+ RMB? |
