Text In and socket connection #155

I am using "Text In" to do visualization. Let say I have 3 socket out and I connected them alright.

Save BLEND. Reopen the BLEND.

Now appears that the Data out from "Text In" still have socket line connection, however data is not flowing so we need to reload the data from text. When I do that, seems like the line connection is gone and I need to connect each line again.

jimmy, yep. looks like the initialization bug that several other nodes have had fixes for.

It is a true bug. The work process of text in ( & out) is somewhat conceptually flawed. The nodes need to be restructured a bit. I haven't because until recently it wasn't clear to me how it should work. Of course the loss of connection makes less than useful for non trivial work... Now I envision a workflow more like script node with an uninitialized state where you load the file and work state were you can reset and reload data but not change settings

Issues with text in and text out.

Stores data in local cache using self.name as key, not multilayout safe.
Disconnect on reload for Text In
Diconnect all when switching mode, Text Out.
Printing of json etc could be prettier.
