Undo deselecting textures

[edsilv]

In HH, select the plane, change its texture to anything except <no selection>, change back to <no selection>, original plane doesn't come back.

BTW this is in the Image Skin part of the properties panel.

I think it's a problem because these properties should be disabled. If you try changing rotation or x or y they snap back to their original values, whereas the drop down boxes can be changed.

I think the drop downs should have a disabled state where they can't be changed. Also dragging the rotation slider just for it to snap back is weird.

I think to denote that these properties are out of scope we should do something like darken the labels or something and make the fields completely un-editable.

Or, maybe we shouldn't be showing properties that can't be edited at all...

The plane is getting it's skin from the TextureAtlas. TextureAtlas and Texture are mutually exclusive values, so selecting a Texture will clear the TextureAtlas. Deselecting the Texture doesn't automatically repopulate the TextureAtlas, as we can't assume this is what the user wants to do.

It's fine to change the Texture properties on the ImageSkin, it's just the Transform properties of the Skin that are being overridden by the Transform2D sibling.

[edsilv]

So the clearing of the TextureAtlas isn't recorded as an operation? Otherwise, undoing would undo the clear right?

[robsilv]

Ah, you didn't mention undo before. So this is a problem you're experiencing with undo then, rather than changing something, then changing it back in the Properties Inspector?

[edsilv]

Well, I didn't know about the mutual exclusivity of those properties. So I didn't understand why the plane was disappearing. I guess it makes sense, but the fact you can't undo to get the plane back isn't right, surely?
