#24 please bring back the "add sidedef" button

[Fabian Greffrath]

Hi Andrew,

the following request has been files against the eureka Debian package:

1.11-2 had a button on the sidebar that added a (back) sidedef to one-sided
linedefs (and somehow almost always guessed the right sector value). This
was very useful in my experience, but appears to have disappeared in 1.21-2.

Cheers,

Fabian

There is a option in the config file called "sidedef_add_del_buttons" -- setting it to 1 (by editing the config file) will restore those buttons.

I think the reason why they are hidden by default is that they generally break a map when used, and it is almost always better to use the sector insert and delete functions. Nevertheless there should probably be a user-visible preference setting for it.

Yes, please!

There is now a preference setting for this.
