Entity Regroup / Ungroup feature missing about netradiant-custom HOT 6 CLOSED

Not confusing for GtkRadiant users, but confusing for former Xonotic Netradiant users as I am ;-) But I think the new workflow is better. By the way: thanks for this great fork, I really start loving it :-D

from netradiant-custom.

I refactored routines to follow 'have primitives of interest selected, select a primitive of target entity, move' logic, like in GtkRadiant 1.4, which felt more human.
Regroup thing was contextual anyway, which was complication of user's logic.
This ed15190 adds EntityMovePrimitivesToFirst command, which mimics Regroup logic.
Ungroup is replaced by entity creation menu.worldspawn, which seems the most intuitive option.

problem is also described in changelog-custom.txt:

Q: how to move brushes into group entity?
A: select brushes to move, select target entity brush, Move Primitives to Entity

Q: how to remove brushes from group entity?
A: select brushes, entities creation menu->worldspawn (right mouse button click to ungroup whole entity(ies))

from netradiant-custom.

So it is intentional. I was only confused as it behaved different and it sometimes broke my func groups. So I must work with the worldspawn intermediate step :-(

So I must work with the worldspawn intermediate step

No, EntityMovePrimitivesToLast & EntityMovePrimitivesToFirst do not require intermediate step

Also note one more benefit of new logic: it does not require expanding selection to the target entity (minus step, profit).

ok, I tried it again and it works: so I FIRST need to select the brush(es) I want to add and THEN select a Brush from the func_group and with the command Entity > MovePrimitives to Entity it gets added to it, and not the whole func_group. This is very confusing when coming from another Radiant version, but hey at least it works :-D I often regroup func_groups and this is the most useful function in Radiant to me. I think you can close this issue :-)

By the way: I am using that latest released binary, which say 1.5.0n May 14 2020.

from netradiant-custom.

As i mentioned, this is how it works in GtkRadiant 1.4/1.6, so it's zero confusing for its users; It's also less confusing and more intuitive for new users i think.
As i also mentioned, EntityMovePrimitivesToFirst command mimics Regroup logic, so you can use it w/o notice of change (though you don't actually need to expand selection with it).
