Confusing autonumbering of shapes
Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 6:34 am
If you have created N shapes, when you create the next shape it is given the name 'N+1'. However, this can lead to confusion. If you have created 4 shapes named 1, 2, 3, and 4. Then you delete shape 1 and now have 3 shapes left. If you create a new shape it is give the name 3+1 or 4.
You now have shapes named: 2, 3, 4, 4. This is very confusing and makes it difficult to select a shape.
A better algorithm would fill in the holes, or assign the next number after the highest existing integer.
