I'm just wondering if a little tweak could be made to the wire routing just to put a gap between the wires and node statuses when looping back from right top left [image] [edit] Don't need as much room as this workaround - just enough so that the wire isn't touching the status text/indicator [i…

Whilst I fully understand the desire, this isn't a 'little tweak'. We have to consider all the cases based on the relative Y-position of the two nodes. You've highlighted the 'easy' case where the nodes are level. But as soon as they are more staggered, there are lots of cases where this isn't an o…

[image] Flippable node wiring direction Feature Requests This has been discussed a few times before and the conclusion has always been this isn't something we want to do. It would get super confusing if the flows can go in any direction. If you were zoomed in to a part of…

How does this look: [image] When the nodes are horizontally level (with a little bit of grace for those who don't snap to grid :scream:): smoother curves coming out of the nodes if either end has status, give a bit more room For reference, here is what that exact arrangement looks like in NR 3…

Oooh they are smooooth. That's looks really nice. Especially compared to previous. If I were to nitpick anything, the gap looks like it could be slightly reduced without hitting the status - but it's personal.

@Steve-Mcl yup agreed - will pull it in a little bit. Also noting it doesn't do anything for nodes with multi-line comments.... that'll be next year's wiring improvement task. [image]

The more nearly semicircular curves are more comfortable to look at. How does a node with two outputs (and a status?) fare in this scheme? I sometimes wish the wire could fit between the node and it's status.

[image] jbudd: I sometimes wish the wire could fit between the node and it's status. TBH, it can never be catered for in all eventualities so my personal wishlist would be the status shape/text would have a +1 z on all the wires & have a "frosted glass" background so that the text "pops" rega…

Hmm well "I sometimes wish" does not really translate to "Make it so". In case of doubt, I think the editor appearance is really excellent. It shows that the product is made by people with an appreciation of graphic design and amazingly they are prepared to discuss possible enhancements with plebei…
