WISH: uncluster

Hi David,

would it be possible to add the function to uncluster into the present document?

Best,

Phillip

First thing that comes to mind is how would you make room for all the components inside the cluster without harming the layout of the rest of your definition?

You can always copy/paste the cluster contents to your document.

For sure an included making room would do more harm than good.

I´d see it behaving exactly like a copy/paste - so all components will remain selected in order to drag them somewhere else as a group.

The benefit would be that there is no need to reconnect all in- & outputs.

That is true: reconnect all in- & outputs is taking alot of time,

Also I would like to copy paste clusters without Block behaving. It is usefull but shoul dnot be active from the start

hmm.. i can see the problem with reconnecting. I never use Cluster so I don't know about the typical number of in-outs. But as long as you don't have loads of sockets, I imagine the bundle-grab option (Ctrl+Shift+Drag) would take good care of quick reconnecting.

That is the problem. I have files with a lots of clusters. just to keep it more readable and easy to understand for someone who did not wrote the file.

In the red area are 30 clusters all different:

I started using clusters not only for generating user objects, but also to use them instead of grouping things. It helps keeping focus on the most important parts on the canvas.

So often I would go in there and change something again or add an in- or output. While most of the time I can keep up with placing params at the start and end for distribution and collection, sometimes I forget (hidden) inputs. So it can become very annoying going through your definition and looking for a specific connection.
