Relabel rings #304

Open Scimonster opened 10 years ago

Scimonster commented 10 years ago

Would it be possible to relabel rings? This should be extremely simple for empty rings (just change the type, keeping all input names), but could possibly get more complex for rings with stuff inside.

Reporter -> Predicate (and vice versa): Simply change ring type, because it is possible to mess up the types Reporter/Predicate -> Stack: Enclose the existing content in a [report []] block Stack -> Reporter/Predicate: IDK. Maybe just don't let it?

I've had several cases recently where i wanted to switch from a reporter/predicate ring to stack.

just use "ringify" for whichever block or script you want to ringify

Scimonster commented 10 years ago

The point is, it already is in a ring. But the wrong type of ring. I also already have up to 3 labeled parameters used inside, and it's always easier not to recreate that.

Here's a proposed compromise: When you drag a command block into an /empty/ reporter ring, it automagically changes its shape to match.

This would be especially useful for the case in which the ring is built into an input slot of a HOF and I need to do something complicated before reporting a value.

All, you want to do is right click and have relabel work for rings, right? Or at least that was my understanding...

That should be simple to do, and IMO, would make sense to have as it matches the other relabel paradigm in snap.

However, I do like @brianharvey's suggestion of auto-switching to block type as that seems really friendly. :)

Umm, I guess I have to say I've never hacked on Snap before...
