Let’s say you have a class used a process node, and you have multiple instances of that process nodes in your application.
I often had the case of being in that process node, expecting to see some values flowing on its input pins, only to realize that I was “just” looking at a different instance and had to press TAB to switch to a different instance.
So far there’s not a single clue on screen that tells you that there could be other instances to look at, the only hint at that is a message in the tooltip.
In beta, iirc, when you had multiple instances of a module in your app, right-clicking it would show all instances in tabs.
Could we have something similar in gamma?
There could be an overlay that tells how many instances there are in your app, and which one you’re currently looking at. Here, I know I have four instances of my process node, and I’m currently looking at the second one. I could switch from instance to instance using the arrows.
Bonus point if double-clicking one of those numbers teleports you the patch it’s running in :-)
Allowing myself to cross-reference that feature request which also goes in the direction of making it easier to know what’s used where.
Cheers!
