Renamable Relays

Could Relay nodes be renamable?
This way, they would be easier to spot. Right now, I use comments, but it's big for no reason.
Under review
I'm not sure what use that would have. Just make a relay node and comment on it?
It's extremely minor of course, but I feel like relays have two uses:

  • Bridging far out nodes, in which case the source node may not be in screen view
  • Splitting vectors in named counterparts to be able to better identify them
In both cases, seeing the name of the relay is important. That's why I think the little "Relay" label should be editable.

Of course, I can easily workaround it with comments, but it's a little less elegant:

For the case of bridging far away nodes, I'd actually like to see something like "remote" relays, or basically set and get variable nodes. That way you could output from a node to a setVariable node (with a name), and anywhere else in your graph you can drop a getVariable node which lets you choose from a source list of all setVariables you have added. You can add many gets for one set. Example mockup:





That's a pretty good idea, I'll consider adding something like that
