Copper fill -> Highlight islands

Hi,

When filling a copper zone, it would be sometimes useful to only highlight the islands.

This may be a feature request:

In the “Copper Zone Properties” window, add a new choice to the “Remove Islands” dropdowm list: “Highlight”

For clarity, this dropdown list should be renamed “Islands”, and the choice {Always Remove; Never Remove; Remove Below Area limit; Highlight}

Does this make sense to you ?

Yes it does to me ! highlight islands sounds a good idea.

Is there a place in the forum where I can post this as a feature request ?
Or is this post sufficient to get the attention of whoever has to consider it ?

(Season greetings, btw :evergreen_tree: )

This is just a user forum, great for discussing an idea and refining more complex requests/issues. To make a feature request where the devs can track it, you’ll want to make an issue on Gitlab. The easiest way is KiCad > Help > Report Bug, which will open a new issue page on Gitlab with the template partially filled out.

Edit: if you do make an issue, please paste a link to it back here on the forum so that others can find it easily and give it a “thumbs up” on gitlab.
