Similar Functionality for Right-Click in Core at Pro 2.1 #455

Closed Dbarnes1 closed 6 years ago

Dbarnes1 commented 6 years ago

When you right-click on a coordinate in the map in 2.1, you'll see that Core developed functionality to copy coordinates. In addition, we have our copy coordinate functionality, which further allows you to select which coordinate notation you want, not just the default map units. Is this something we should be concerned with? Did core take our code to do this or did this happen simultaneously? Seems like users might get confused with two buttons that seemingly do the same thing but actually provide slightly different functionality.

So, can they take this and combine the two? Basically, take the icon, plural, and the ability to click on the Copy Coordinates and get the coordinate for whatever the map's system is from Core, and merge it with the mouse-over menu we developed?

Good catch. I will see if I can get feedback from the core team. I think combining the functionality into one location is easy and key for less confusion. @Dbarnes1 I am not sure if they used our code, but I would think the answer is no.

They are just updating the clipboard with the current coordinate readout that appears at the bottom of the map view status bar.
