Horizontal layout
Ah, you mean not a tool, but whole GUI rework :) No, thank you, I won't implement it.
Actually horizontal layout is not better or worse than vertical, both approaches has flaws in different usecases.
I have 2 tabs that you can fully customize and you can enable a couple of necessary rollouts. In horizontal layout you can see only 1 tab at the time, but the tab itself contain more controls.
Linking UV Tools to Unwrap editor doesn't make a lot of sense. All tools in my script don't need UV Editor to be opened.
check out Advanced UV
check out Advanced UV normalizer, you will get it.
Horizontal layout
Hi. I'm not sure what exact feature you mean by "Horizontal layout" but every UV Tools action listed in macroscript file (usermacros\Nik Scripts-UVTools_Actions.mcr)
You can grab all the actions you like from that file and create your own macros. For example Open UVW dialog is ::ns_uvtools.Unw_OpenEditor()
feature request
Hey
Horizontal layout that opens up with UnwrapUVW editor automatically.
Thanks.

Yes you're right that it
Yes you're right that it needs to be thought through. It just occurred to me that UV shells could be attached across multiple IDs and it's not as straightforward as I thought. I just assumed that the shells would be broken but there are cases when they're not.
I can work with the current tools. The 'Break' options are useful and I'm using it in combination with the UDIM tab to get what I need.
Pack UDIMS by sub material
It's kinda already there, but works in a different way.
Enable "Offset by Mat ID" in Break settings (right click on Break), then use Shift+Click on Break.
I will think how to implement this feature in more correct way (probably this Break+offset will be deprecated in this case)
Pack UDIMS by sub material
Hi Nick.
Thank you so much for continually developing this script.
Is it possible to add a feature to the UDIM rollout to automatically pack UDIMs by an object's sub-object materials/IDs? So if a model's elements are given IDs 1,2 and 3, the script can automatically pack the UVs in 1001, 1002 and 1003 etc.
