return inherited (plugin and extension) node classes from viewer's selected_nodes(), rather than basic nodeItem #67

Currently calling nodeGraph.viewer().selected_nodes() returns a list of NodeGraphQt.widgets.node_base.NodeItem() instances, regardless of if the selected node types have inherited further. This makes it difficult to query selected nodes in other windows if they are extensions of the base class, and makes it difficult to access any extra functionality that may have been added.

Hey @edart76

methods from the viewer() are used internally by the node graph you'll want to used the methods in NodeGraph() object.

Hey man, turns out I'm a blind moron. Thanks very much for the tip, and for this awesome framework!

jchanvfx commented 5 years ago

all good man :smile_cat: I still need to write up some documentation for this node graph it's on the list.

Thanks.
