I have a feature request.
The loaded node will be placed in the currently saved location
Can I place it in the center of the editor?

Saving a distant node will restore it to a strange location when loading.

By default, all nodes will be loaded in their saved location, Node Kit just saved node’s location and load them back in that location.

Which Distant Node has been loaded to a strange location? Can you make an screenshot on it?

128

The current state is not a bug.

If you recreate the previous location, you will lose sight of the node if you reuse part of a larger node.

For example, when you copy a node in houdini, the center of the node group is laid out at the cursor position.

129

So you want to be able to load (or restore) nodes in the cursor position?

130

Yes. I want it.

131

But while you are loading the preset, your mouse cursor is not in the Node Editor. :stuck_out_tongue:

132

I have a workaround you can try:

  1. Load your nodes
  2. Just drag and move your mouse on the nodes you just loaded

This workaround can move around your nodes you just loaded.

133

Oh certainly. :crazy_face:

134

If restored to a location outside the screen, I don’t know where to go.

135

Use your middle button of your mouse to zoom out and you should see the nodes you just loaded, but in this case, you should be carefully do the dragging because your nodes looks smaller after zooming out.

136

Well, but :thinking:
I want you to load the center of the node group to the place where the current node editor is displayed.

I just tried some keyboard shortcuts, and found one.

After loading your nodes, press Home key in your keyboard, it will center your nodes in the display.

:slight_smile:

Try it, and let me know if it works for you.

138

Thank you very much. It worked.
You have to move the node, but that’s simple. :grinning:

Hey man. I was trying now to export from 2.8 to 2.82. Using 0.1.7 on 2.8 and 0.1.8 on 2.82 but I get errors when loading the successfully imported presets. Missing Data-Block.

141

Thank you for your feedback.

Since 2.82 just released, i have not tested the add-on with it, can you provide two things:

  1. The exported json file
  2. The error message

Since then, i will take a look on it.
