Order of in, out and args in Flowgraphs

[Roland]

Right now the order of in, out and args in the flowgraph boxes are alphabetical

 

 

In my humble opinion it would be more easy to have them ordered like this.

• First inputs
  
• Then outputs
  
• Last arguments
  

 

Besides that I repeat what ChrisV said elsewhere. It would be at great help if when you right click on a scripted object in the scene it would center that object, not only in the view ports but also in the flowgraph

I think it would be cooler to have inputs on the left hand side and outputs on the right hand side and somewhere else for the args? I guess for right now to get what you want you can prefix everything accordingly.

[Roland]

Rick. We agree on that as with my suggestion the input dots shows up on left side, output dots on right side together with the args.

Some functions are inputs and outputs...

[Rick]

So they would have 2 entries. The input one would show on the left and the output one would show on the right making a clear distinction. They are after all 2 different things. I'd say if the design was done for the exception (input/output same function) that would seem odd. If you look at Rolands flowgraph he doesn't share. In my designs I've rarely shared.

 

I think the OnXXX for outputs and no OnXXX for inputs is a more clear. I guess it's all preference. Not a huge deal in my mind just a nice to have.

I agree with you Rick and have actually change my naming to exactly what you says above.

Josh, regarding mixing an input and an output ... naaaah. That only leads to confusion. Not a good idea

[Josh]

It's already done in some scripts. Sometimes you want one event to set off another one, in a chain.
