UV Editor question

[Eugen]

Hello!
When I select an object in the viewport, it’s UVs are highlighted in the new UV Editor (yellow).
Question: how do I ‘convert’ these highlighted parts to a real selection in the UV Editor, so that I can edit them there?
Clicking into the UV Editor will just un-highlight the parts.
Hope it’s clear what I mean…
Thanks!

Hi @Eugen ,

I understand and I’ve filed https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-84044 for future reference. The only workaround I could come up with now is to use the Select command once back in the UVeditor and then click on the highlighted islands to make them real selections. The highlight was intended to be informational but we’ll see if this use is possible too. Thanks.

Thanks!
The term under which I know this feature from other apps is “synchronize selection”. It should not matter where you select components - viewport or UV space. Selecting in one will select it in the other, too.
