show connectors in icon editor

Status: Already Implemented

Edit > Show Terminals in the Icon Editor provides this functionality.

Rather simple idea, the connectors should somehow be showed in the icon editor so you can easily see where they'll land. It'd be helpful when aligning e.g. wires in the icon.

So simple, it is basically already there.

 

In the icon editor, click Edit, then Show Terminals  (Shortcut is Ctrl-T).

 

The only thing missing is the exact point where the wires will land.  But you know that is in the center of the connector.

Sweet, didn't know that. 🙂 Maybe add a button by the icon to show connectors, then. 😉

How should it look like? I don't think we should clutter the UI up with too many buttons. 😄

 

It could be another special "layer" on the layers tab....

How about a small tickbox right of the tabs?
