Short description of error
While translating texts for 'Object Scatter' add on, I ran a test on the add-on and found the following problems:

  1. Unable to get a reasonable value for 'Seed'
  2. The appearance of the original object in the scattering field
  3. Needed a button to execute the scattering, rather than using F3 for search

I recorded the test session in the following video:

vokoscreen-2019-08-21_06-32-47_scatter_objects.mp4

and you can load this test file I used to test:

20190822_object_scatter_0001.blend

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Enable the 'Scatter Objects' add-on.
  • Load the attached test file.
  • Left click mouse to select the stone object on the side of the plane (distorted cube), then
  • Hold down the Shift key,
  • Select the plane using left mouse click.
  • Press F3 to search, type 'scatter',
  • Press Enter to execute 'Object Scatter'
  • Left click and hold the mouse to draw lines on the plane to generate objects on the side of the drawn lines.
  • Press Enter to confirm the scatterings generated and to terminate the routine.
  • Notice the 'Object' (Cube) used to scatter in the centre of the plane. If you select this and press 'Delete', you will remove the entire scattering objects just generated.
  • Now try to change the 'Seed' by mouse (not by keyboard) and you'll see how difficult it is to change the value.

I can confirm the issue. My first guess is that this is a bug in Blender and not in the addon, because the addon just declares the property as any other. Will have a look.

Just a note while you're at it, can you make the scattering process interactive, ie. users should be able to change parameters on the fly to see the changes before commit. I know we can undo and redo but that would make the add-on SUPER to use.
