Context Menu

• Show Annotation - Displays the name of the operation as you hover over buttons
• Responsive UI - Buttons will become disabled unless at least two objects are selected
• Extra Functions - Adds Compound Path, Clipping Mask, Hard Mix and Soft Mix
• Retain Selection - Combs through the document after each operation to ensure result is still selected, adds additional overhead that might make the panel slower on very large documents
• Live Preview - Was going to include a live preview of the result as you hover over each operation but this isn't straightforward to solve with user data and SVG/CSS
• Refresh Panel - Reloads the extension
• Copy debug URL - Copies localhost URL of panel debugging port to clipboard which can access Chrome DevTools on the extension via the CEFClient program found here
