[ScriptNode] "Swap Node Orientation" resets the view to the middle of the network

A bit annoying when working on larger networks.

To keep things organized, my suggestion for this on the forum thread was to maintain the screen position of the node's incoming cable connection.

God I hate the forum search so much, this might be the worst search function on the entire internet. Can you find the reference to the topic?

I'm not sure I understand, but I could offer this functionality:

if you have selected the container to flip, it will zoom out to show the entire container (as if you would click the "Fold unselected nodes" button in the toolbar)
if you have selected a child node, then it will flip its parent (this would be new functionality, currently it doesn't do anything and then maintain the display position of the selected child node.

I think that's a power user function so I don't care too much about it being a bit opaque (I'll update the docs to mention this easter egg)

I think I'm the only person who doesn't mind the forum search

hah I search the forum by appending the forum url to a google search

basically if you have a big network, and flip a node (like a chain node) ScriptNode view will reset to the center of the entire network.

Zooming in/centering on the flipped node instead would be acceptable, thank you.

I'm unsure about flipping the parent, it would feel funny as you can have child containers too.
