UV: select similar enhancements #109184

New Issue

Selecting islands crossing UDIM boundaries sounds like a feature of a "Select All by Trait" operator as in the 3D viewport rather than "Select Similar".

The purpose of selecting islands with similar texel density is not so obvious to me. I can see the purpose of visualizing texel density to be able to balance it, but I'm not sure what you would do with that selection of islands with similar texel density. Maybe pin them to indicate they have the correct density and indicate they are done?

Yeah, "Select All by Trait" might make more sense for UDIM crossing, there's other things we could add on that one too. Perhaps we should split this into two different issues?

For texel densify, Select Similar has the compare function (equal, greater, less) and the Threshold.

For texel density, it seems natural to select the islands with a larger/smaller texel density and then simply scale them. You could also move them to a different UDIM (e.g. a different .JPG with a different image size)

I really think this thread should be renamed into "UV: Traits handling", and must be filled to the top as a result of a huge investigation into what it should be filled with.
