Hello,

Far too often I explode my circles into polylines ... unintended.
Something we can 'Undo' immediately if we notice it soon enough.
When 'Undo' is out of the question there is no easy way back but redrawing.

I proposed a flag in AppPrefs .. Modify .. Explode to avoid explosion of circles.
https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?d ... sk_id=2156

In the end it looked to easy to not adapt it myself.
File revisions are included in the proposition.

To include this for yourself you need to have/create the full folder structure: ..\QCAD\scripts\Modify\Explode\...
I placed all the files from the master branch on GitHub in the 'Explode' folder.
Then I overwritten the two by the new ones.

Final implementation is up to Andrew.

I totally agree it would be nice to exclude the circle from exploding.

You could install the files, it was a minor change.
You could vote for it.

Or hold your horses, it is getting better.

Do your selection,
launch the "Selection Filter,
search for circle, subtract from the current selection, explode, done.

Saw that Andrew already committed a fix ...
I expect the request to be closed soon.

Others don't have to be bothered ... default is exploding to polys as was requested.
