I really love the new IOBoxes in the Gamma preview (273).
That’s a huge improvement, congratulations guys!
I like the middle-click behavior to open the Inspektor.
However it’s a pain to have to write Spread<Float32>by hand just to create a spread (and more, to not have it in the list…)
It would be easier to have a “Spread” toggle just under the “Type” toggle in the Inspektor.
Clicking it would change automatically Your-type to Spread<Your-type>.
indeed creating those manually is still a pain. your proposed solution wouldn’t go very far though, since it would only allow Spread but not Spread of Spread. or even Spread of Dictionary…see?
so what is planned:
have autocomplete for Spread… for type annotations
allow to create spread ioboxes directly via the nodebrowser
but also you know that often you don’t have to manually create those since you can simply start a link from a spread-pin and then middelclick to have the correct iobox created?!
