Description

It would be really powerful to be able to move the texture with the uv selection to a new arbitrary position.

Minimal implementation:

  1. Make a UV selection
  2. Press button Copy Texture
  3. Move UV to a new location
  4. Press button Paste Texture

Ideal implementation:

  1. Make a UV selection
  2. Press button Move UV
  3. Move the selection around
  4. On move start:
    4.1 Apply Copy Texture
    4.2 Render it under the UV selection being moved
  5. On move end:
    5.1 Apply Paste Texture

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Copy Texture and Paste Texture actions and the code handling movement of selected UV islands in the Blender add-on. Compare the minimal and ideal workflows, then verify that moving a selection preserves the texture under it and that the final texture is pasted at the new location.
