🎉 Node-RED 1.1.0-beta.1 released

Also seeing this behaviour from time to time - where a node stays highlighted in red - look at link node out to see this

Whoever fixed this, get my cheer and a beer from me.

Could the bottom margin of the group box be made a little bit bigger so that a title at the bottom doesn't merge into a node status please?

Just a tad more whitespace below the name when shown would also be better please :smile:

Why do you want more space below the name?

I get things like that happen now and then.

Alas I can't specify exactly the scenario. (I'm just browsing the thread.)

From what I remember it is when I press the deploy button. I get that ghosts drag and drop thing over my flows too.

Oh, and I am not using the latest version. I am using 1.0.3.

Because the current layout offends my OCD! It is very tight.

Then the border would not align with the grid, which may upset you even more...

Unless it bumps a whole extra grid width (for the default grid size... )

And then the waste of space would upset me.

I haven't had the opportunity to try this beta version yet, but reading through the thread, and apologies if I've missed this, but...

Will we be able to create a 'group of groups'?

So, using weather as an example,

  • A weather tab
  • Split into 2 groups - 'Current conditions' & 'Forecast'

Within 'Current conditions' there are 'air quality & pollen', 'windspeed & gusts' etc. sub-groups.

In the 'Forecast' group, probably similar sub-groups to 'Current conditions'.

If not - maybe something for the future?

I think it's worth trying. From @cymplecy's original point - a node with status text clashes horribly with the group label, so aesthetics of the spacing aside, it needs to move. Either on the grid or off the grid - either way, it needs to give the node more space.

Yes. You can nest groups as much as you want.

Doh!

Or maybe I would tweak the grid size :smile:

Ah well, that kills it then, we'll not be going for that.

I foresee some pointless experimentation coming up :thinking:

Yes, I guess it needs to be dynamic and only be larger if the label exists.

Just updated a PiZero to the 1.1.0-beta.1 - can't replicate this bug on it

I think the margins, in a group, need to be a little larger, to enclose all wires

More glitches on my Win10 setup

Once I remove 2nd node from group - grouping disappears and I can no longer select nodes until I deploy and refresh my browser

@cymplecy please remember to check the browser's developer console for any error messages
