Suggestion: More than 1 of the same tool, with diff. default

[canbeiro]

As an intensive user of PDF-XChange Viewer, I am presenting another suggestion for the improvement of the product:

LET WE HAVE MORE THAN 1 (ONE) OF THE SAME TOOL ON THE TOOLBARS.

Yes, I know that it seems strange and non-sense, but it is also easy to explain, as follows:

I use a lot the rectangle tool with 2 very different purposes: a) to enphasize greatly some text; b) to cover some text. To use it to cover some text, I need to change 2 of its properties: the 'Fill Color' and the 'Stroke Color', both to black. It is easy and quick to do one time, but it takes a lot of time if done many times. If I had 2 Rectangle tools, AND if WE COULD SET A DIFFERENT DEFAULT APPEARANCE FOR EACH ONE OF THAN, I would get the one I wanted and I wouldn't have to change any properties. PDF-XChange Viewer is already smart enough to show each one with a different picture in the toolbar.

I want to add that I would use this same feature to have 2 Arrow tools: a) one with the arrow in only one end, b) the other with the arrow in both ends.

I believe I made me clear.

Congratulations for the great software.

Trying to help,

Marcos.

I have made a formal feature request for this: RT#794: Feature Request: allow multiple instances of a tool.

Please understand the feature list for V3 initial release has been capped. Should the dev team determine that this feature should be added it would be in some build after this.

OK. Thanks.

I was just informed that this is on the feature list. If it does not make it into the initial release of V3 it will be a later build.
