Allow user to Run Process when any block is selected #198

Closed bmmpxf closed 9 years ago

bmmpxf commented 9 years ago

When using geo:buffer for example, there are six blocks on the canvas, but I have to click on specifically the named geo:buffer block before I'm allowed to Run the process. Is there a reason why one can't just click on any of the blocks to be able to Run the process? After all, every block that's connected is necessarily related, so it should amount to the same thing, and require fewer clicks.

Thanks. How does this affect chained processes? If process A is chained to process B, and I click an input on process A, what's the expected behavior? Will only process A be run, or will the entire chain be run?

It will be the same as previously. So if process B is the end of the chain, you will need to have selected one of the direct inputs (or the process / output node) of process B to run the whole chain.

If you have one of the inputs (or the process / output node) of process A selected, it will run only that part of the chain.

Nothing changed in that regard with this change.
