Selec thin objects in PitStop.

This Enfocus PitStop command allows us to select vector objects whose "Stroke" thickness is under a value specified by the user. If the objects do not have a stroke, the command does not select them.

As in other actions, the texts are considered vector objects even if they are not traced, so this order affects them.

Besides, there's the option to select by "Filled Rectangle" instead of by "stroke". This option is useful when the user or the original program created vector lines using rectangular boxes instead of vector paths with a stroke. When selecting "Filled rectangles" the behavior of the selection is completely different and only acts on that type of objects.

If the "Calculate whole thickness ..." checkbox is on, PitStop will add the thickness of the object to the calculation provided that its outline and stroke have the same color; that is: If by checking this option, we PitStop to select objects with a stroke less than 2 points, objects with the same stroke and fill color that have a stroke of 1 point and a thickness of 1 point at least on one of their sides as rectangles (this detail is relevant), the object will not be selected because the sum is 2 points (so it is not less than the value specified).
