How to view console messages whilst remaining in Modern UI 😎

[takbb]

The table performance and efficiency is probably the biggest deal for me and I suspect a lot of people who are still hanging on to CUI.

KNIME’s reason to be is as a data/analytics platform and being able to efficiently view data is important. Yes there certainly are some recent improvements, such as “popping out” large text for viewing which is great, but I still work a lot more efficiently using a classic UI table output. I use them less because it is a pain dropping Interactive Table (Legacy) nodes everywhere, but I do still turn to them in the early stages of analysing data that I am unfamiliar with.

I hope the new tables continue to improve, and I’ve given my views previously (links at the bottom), and of course we’ve gone off topic from this thread but I’ll just throw this one question out:

Where do I go in KNIME to see if my data contains any “unexpected” space padding?

hint:

The classic view isn’t perfect (I cannot see right-padding for example), and I remain hopeful that this is an area where Modern UI tables will improve to be able to see space padding (left, right and centre) such as by turning on some form of “character marker” like you can in many editors (and so be able to distinguish tabs, other “whitespace and invisible/unprintable characters”)

btw, looking forward to the Summer release! Keep up the good work!

Some of my previous feedback on MUI tables:

Table View node - allow it to be set to "Compact Rows" mode as the environment default

In KNIME AP 5.1, the absence of the Classic UI’s ability to view the output data ports in pop up windows almost certainly means that I will now find myself placing the Table View nodes at various points in order to be able to see the output from different nodes at the same time. When I first started using KNIME, just two and a half years ago, the ease of viewing data from multiple nodes concurrently was one of its stand-out features. When I was using Alteryx, for the couple of years prior, I ha…

Roadmap for the Table View in Modern UI

I’ve generally held back on going down the rabbit hole of comparing Modern UI with Classic, but I would be interested to know what the future direction of the Data Table presentation is. I made reference to a number of shortcomings of Modern UI’s data table presentation back in September last year, so apologies that I am repeating here some of what I said then, but I feel it is important. With the various improvements that have been made to Modern UI, I enjoy using it, and mostly will do so …

Wrap Column names in V5

I agree @sw1336. The ability to visually inspect data quickly is what makes (made!) KNIME exceptional compared with other data/analytics tools I’ve used As @DanielBog says, there are lots of “important” features that different people would raise as priorities but to me there are certain “must haves” with regard to data viewing: Being able to efficiently visually inspect the data, which includes being able to read column names in full without much manual effort. Being able to view the ac…
