Can't draw the same on multiple samples without repeated selection.
It takes redundant configuration to add a series of bounding boxes to samples (Image Segmentation). Each time the sample changes with next / previous the current tool state is deselected. Currently, on v0.14.15:
open sample
select "bounding box" (b)
draw box 1, select next sample (d)
select "bounding box" (b) again
draw box 2 , select next sample (d)
select "bounding box" (b) again
draw box 3 , select next sample (d)
select "bounding box" (b) AGAIN ...
Instead: preserve current tool state when navigating between samples with next / previous:
With proposed solution:
open sample
select "bounding box" (b)
draw box 1, select next sample (d)
draw box 2, select next sample (d)
draw box 3, select next sample (d) ...
Problem example 2:
The problem is even more frustrating whenever the tag popup dialog is in the way of multiple box drawing. For example, if segmenting an image into horizontal rectangles (slices / layers) the tag dialog popup is always in the way of the upper-left coordinate of the next bounding box, and must always be hidden before the second box may be drawn. (Example use case: marking the panels on a comic book page). The solution in the current interface is to click the "hide tags" icon. There is no hotkey / keyboard shortcut. However, this setting is cleared on every new sample, so it must be constantly re-applied. Currently:
open sample
select "bounding box" (b)
click "hide tags"
draw box 1, draw box 2, select next sample (d)
select "bounding box" (b)
click "hide tags"
draw box 3, draw box 4, select next sample (d) again
select "bounding box" (b)
click "hide tags"
draw box 5, draw box 6, select next sample (d) AGAIN ...
It is possible that some flows would actually find it useful to clear the selected tool on each new sample (the current behavior). I would guess (?) that is the exception rather than the rule, but it could be that a setting "reset tool" or "reset tool to x" could preserve this behavior for anyone who prefers it.
