Feature request : possibility to label metanode output/input

The metanode is great for abstracting details from the big picture.

The trouble is that when you use it, it can be easy to forget what's coming in or going out of the node.

would it be possible when configuring the metanode to add a label to each input/output port ?

this label would then be displayed in the tooltip you see when overing over the metanode port and on the context menu you have when you right click the node.

I would imagin it this way :

  • add a 'label' button on each side of the 'reconfigure metanode wizzard'
  • selecting a port and clicking the 'label' button opens a simple dialog where you can type a short text

This would help document workflow and enable a faster understanding for new users.

 

Thanks in advance,

Sebastien

It sounds good...
