Hi! All features are great and working as it should
Segment Modify Tool is good as it is, but would be great for it to work with capped cylinders and more complex objects like i showed in the video below. I know the topology is more difficult and there might be not elegant solution for this, but maybe you can figure it out. If it is impossible - fine. The tool is great anyway

Try this.

--5. Hide multiple selected objects in Scene Explorer with Shift + MMB (or whatever hotkey)
A: Done.

--21. A tool to make spline between to selected subobjects (to make instant plugged cables for example)
A: https://youtu.be/ZQgoPOYJmTo

--22. (screenshot) "Change segments on the fly" Tool. It allows to adjust segments on curved surfaces. It would be handy in gamedev pipelines. It not just doubles segments - the tool is flexible and can change from 6 to 9 or 16 for example. Especially would be great to change cylindric object segments on the fly
A: https://youtu.be/Vu-0hkQELpA

--26. Add "Scale Only" Reset Element in "Reset Object Base" command
Q: There is this tool already, Reset Object Scale. "Reset Object Base" has nothing to do with scaling.

There is no need for a check box. Because in the situation you described, the tool for working in object mode will be activated instead of switching to subobject mode. You can make a tool to test it if you want to.

Seems working fine, thank you

24. Maybe it should be a checkbox on preferences. I assume some people may have their object mode tools assigned on the same buttons of streamline tools for subobject mode. So they won`t get access to their object mode tools as it automatically switches to subobject mode
