Often, when I am working on a KNIME workflow or looking through an old workflow (trying to remember how I did things exactly) or maybe a workflow I downloaded from the EXAMPLES server, I want to look at the configuration of various nodes in that workflow.
So, just to see how the workflow’s nodes are currently configured what I often find myself doing is going through the following process:
open the configuration dialog of a node
look at the configuration
close the dialog
open the configuration dialog of another node
look at the configuration
close that dialog, too
rinse
and
repeat
This can become an annoying mouse clicking exercise pretty quickly.
So here’s my feature request/suggestion: Why not show a tooltip when the mouse hovers over a configured/executed node that just shows the current configuration? See this mockup:
yes this is definitely something we are looking in for some time soon
We have a huge project cooking in the development which we are all very excited about.
Yes, this will be part of it.
and if also posible something like cumulative info what changes is done at the end of node work…like kind of report specially dedicate to node job …example: what is change or not by replace function of column expression node ect…and go back if needed?
Can you explain a bit more what you think with “info about changes done at end of node work” and what is the use case behind it? Are you referring only to Column Expressions node or other node (where applicable) as well? And how would “go back” look like?
