Preserve UVs

[80kg-spb]

Will an option similar to "Preserve UVs" in Maya be added?
Currently, distortions appear on the UVs when using the tool.

I assume you're referring to the Merge Tool? (This repo has more than one add-on in it.)

Hmm, for vertex mode this is as simple as changing line 527 or 528(?) in __init.py__ to

bpy.ops.mesh.merge(type=self.merge_location, uvs=True)

if you want it always on.

For edge mode we use bmesh.ops.weld_verts which is a lower level function that doesn't immediately appear to have a preserve UVs function. Might need to look more into this, or rewrite the way we do edge merging.
