Suggestion - show all unclosed loops

when using the hatch tool, firstly we need to select a 'closed contour' or a boundary, once selected QCAD dynamically shows us any loops that are not closed.However only one loop is shown at a time. It would be good if QCAD could show all loops that are not closed in one go or maybe some additional options could be added...

What do others think?

@andrew is this possible to do

Yes, I see your point. When you have several unclosed areas, they only show one by one after closing the offending one. No priority, but sure would be more efficient.

An additional suggestion to this problem - to 'Zoom' to a particular 'loop not Closed' coordinate position.
It would be time saving to have this option in the View tools to zoom to a particular coordinate 8) . Then I could copy a 'loop not Closed' coordinate location from the command line and paste it into a field and hey presto zoom straight to this location, oh I hope this makes sense here what I'm trying to explain :roll:
This would sure save a lot of time especially when I have a lot of entities in my drawing!
