Please introduce an option to save without data by default. Or at least not to save the FileStoreNodes (Imaging Nodes in my case).
Every now and then I accidently hit save and then I'm stalled for 45 minutes with a "Saving data (this cannot be canceled)..." window, just to reset the whole workflow afterwards and to save it again.
i wanted to tell you two workarounds for this problem:
1. The KNIME Image Processing already has a set of nodes available for this purpose.
2. Streaming! (For a lot of details and a really good reading, check out Bernds posts about streaming https://www.knime.org/blog/streaming-data-in-knime)
Inside a streamed metanode no inbetween results are saved, so you can use it as a don't save method as well. If you have nodes inside which are not streamable. This doesn't matter, they just will be executed the traditional way.
I hope this helps to speed you up and reduce the size of your workflows :)
Is there anything special to do to be able to try the streaming nodes?
I am updating from http://update.knime.org/analytic-platform/3.1. After updating, selecting KNIME Streaming Execution (Beta) (version 3.1.0.v201511280708), it doesn't show up on in the node repository.
When iI check for updates again, it says it's already installed.
Hi @Iris, I realise this is a very old thread, but did this feature ever get implemented? I’m on 4.3.2 and I can only see the “Save without data” option in the Auto Save section (Perferences->KNIME->KNIME GUI). Is the option available for standard saving of the workflow?
