Requests

When designing the BUI, all requests from current and future users, artists and developers, will be taken into account. As these requests are so valuable, the project will endeavor to summarize all of them here. Current sources are BlenderArtists.org, this wiki.blender.org, direct requests place here, forums.cgsociety.org ... Please feel free to update with your own requests if it might not have been included already.

The requests will be filtered into BUI vs Blender specific. For the sake of comprehensiveness, also Blender specific requests will be listed, while, for now, only BUI specific requests will be 'solved'.
