> Therefore, I've coded a little patch that adds two selection options for curves:
Wouldn't it be more expedient to simply display the beginning and end of the curve visually? Could be any number of simple solutions:
- Small letter B for beginning, E for end.
- Color gradient from red to blue indicating the ends.
- A circle and a triangle.
... etc. While having Selct First, Select Last, and the grow commands in the menus is a great idea (especially with curves that get extremely long), having a visual indication would, I feel, be the most helpful.

Nice. This is a feature I've wanted for a while as well. Have you considered visibility changes based on searches? iTunes has a nice method for this, allowing you to view only the objects which match the search criteria. Dunno how fast this might be in Blender (ie, "live searches" might need to be replaced by having the user press enter to change the view subset).

Curve Selection Tools
Well, it seems that now in cvs, theeth has changed the drawing of 3d curves so that there is some kind of indication, at least for those. While I agree that changes in drawing will be even more helpful, this is good enough for now.
Outliner Search
Now that's an interesting idea. It would be a bit more complicated to implement, but it could be done.
