Hi IStonia, hardly using boolean I have some suggestions.
I have big experience using booleans inside MoI, working in it you always use boolean, so what I think.
Boolean inside Nvil must be simplified. Now it is too complicated and some commands never used.

1. Why wee need hide B? You can not unhide that objects not with object list nor with Hide/Unhide command. But this objects appears when you export .obj, for example to KeyShot. I suggest remove this useless function.

2. Why we need Copy B? Never used it, it always stay ON. When it off, that result that produce Copy B, will be never used. So I suggest remove it.

3. Instead of that 2 commands, I suggest make Boolean remove B by default. But also add "Keep B" function.
This is how it works in MoI and it works perfect tested for a long time by a lot of users.

4. "Add", why wee need this command? For this purpose we always use Combine. So I suggest remove this item.

5. I suggest to remove  Subtract (B-A). It only confuse and not used. You always use Subtract (A-B)

6. Chop. Very sophisticated command. Much more easy and intuitive is use Subtract (A-B). Personally I never used this one. Do not know if anybody ever used it. I think it can be removed.

It may scare you that I suggest remove all that stuff but things must be simple, clear and intuitive.

Hay IStonia what do you think?
Can you at least add option - Delete B?
