Hide While Picking?

No one seems to have raised this question, so I'll shoot..

Anyone misses being able to disable the 'hide while picking' option from 0.90014? Was it intentionally left out or just accidentally?

I think it just went missing when I added the Display menu and repositioned a bunch of items. I can't find a trace of it anywhere in the code so looks like I'll have to write a new one.

Thanks for noticing and reporting.

Incidentally, would it perhaps make more sense to always hide the Grasshopper window if it overlaps with the Rhino viewports and never hide it if they are not overlapping?

Edit: I just coded this up and rather like it. Hopefully the smarter behaviour means there will no longer be a need for a hide/don't hide option.

Sounds like an interesting concept! If using a laptop or for presentation purposes I personally like to run Rhino in fullscreen mode with a single viewport using full anti-aliasing and all that jazz. I then have the Grasshopper window floating on top of that, also stripped down to a fairly minimal setup, usually with no canvas or component toolbars. So if this setup would not be possible it would not make more sense ;)
