Thank you for the suggestion. Other users have already suggested this feature you described in the GitHub repo as well, given how useful it would be. It is just a question of time until it is implemented. The reason it wasn't already is just because there are tons of other features of higher priority to be implemented first.
The next features scheduled for implementation are automated GUI testing the topological sorting technique for graph execution (currently we use a solution that is effective but not optimized). Among these, automated GUI testing is specially important, because the app is too complex to be manually tested by a single person. It will allow me and other contributors to work confidently and assured that our work is not breaking other related parts of the app. Thankfully it is almost finished (the main functionality was already implemented and tested), I just want to refine it a bit more and maybe extend it just a little bit so we can include some extra kinds of tests.
The project is also a personal open-source project, understaffed and underfunded, which is why some stuff takes time. I'm not complaining though, by the way. I have a lot of fun and learn a lot working on it and by interacting with the community. I received so much for free from the Python ecosystem over the years that I'm just glad that I can finally give something back for free as well. And the project is even blessed enough to have 02 selfless and generous patrons. The project has a lot to improve, but we are slowly getting there. I can only see it growing more and more over time and it is already useful to some people.
Thanks again for the suggestion, I'm always on the hunt for ideas to improve Nodezator.
