Nodes does not resize when input/output have long names

[Rami]

Previously, nodes would resize when names where to long to fit them, they don’t anymore which makes it very hard to know what the outputs are for.

Hello,

That is correct. To avoid very long horizontal sizes for nodes, the port names are now “clamped” in the latest version by design.
I understand that this can be problematic is certain cases though, thus I am thinking of adding a tooltip to the ports that will display the unclamped name on mouse over. I believe that this would be preferable so that horizontal node size can stay as minimum as possible.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks.

I would prefer it to be an option, long horizontal nodes is not really a problem for us and if we want them to be short then we just shorten the input/output names. Even with a tooltip the problem still remain, it gets very hard to get the general overview with the graph when many of the input/output names are clamped.

Hello again,
I understand. I could make it as an option for the next version. Meanwhile, if you want to remove the “clamping” right now, please open up Ports.cs and change line about #50 var displayNameCaped = displayName.CapLength(18); to something like var displayNameCaped = displayName; (basically remove the CapLength, or increase the length if you like).

Thank you!
