Interface : Patch view > create node from right click (context menu) #127

Closed benkuper closed 8 years ago

benkuper commented 8 years ago

Suggestion : Instead of having an almost full screen window for node creation, use a simple a hierarchy-based right click context menu.

currently i disagree with this i don't think it's necessary to make the node-browser more minimal

i think switching to a different context makes sense in quite a few situations (e.g. i've been considering export dialogues which also come up full-screen in the same way) in this particular situation i think a context switch is more comfortable

also i'm envisaging adding more content to the node browser (e.g. animations on the right showing example of that node's use and/or a text description of what it does and how to use it)

More content on this interface could be interesting, yes. The freeze makes it hard currently, but if this issue is fixed, i agree that that kind of interface can me more suited if there is more content shown.

agree the slow load needs to be fixed closing this one for now
