Announcing KNIME Analytics Platform 5.4

Hey all.

I want to provide a few suggestions for KNIME AP.

UI Suggestions…

  1. When copying/pasting nodes or collections of nodes, can the upstream connections be preserved? I have to do this a lot when creating custom analytics where I need to make tweaks to intermediate nodes but need to keep the same general structure, and looping will not work due to structural changes in the data.

  2. When inside a Metanode, I am unable to drag from the in-port of the metanode start to create another node. It’s just inconsistent with other functions.

  3. I suggest Adding the Node search popup to the “Right Click” menu. I add nodes more often than I Execute All, so it would be more useful in my opinion.

  4. Is it possible to make the new UI dialogue boxes expand when I expand the dialogue box? These boxes expand in the older-style UI boxes.

  5. I still would LOVE an “invert selection” button on all the column selection dialogues (e.g. GroupBy).
