Hi anyone know of a script to bookmark different places in your flow,
i tend to get quite big flows and usually creates small islands for different elements.
And it would be nice to be able to bookmark a place in i you flow and assign a hotkey
to that place, ie all your keying could have F2 assigned, so a hit on f2 would center around
that in your flow graph.
I know shake used to have this or was it a script, dont remember ;)

cheers

Do you also play Starcraft? :)

The Navigator view may be very useful for large comps...

You can put post-it notes in your comp describing what is there, or just put anything you like in there, and then you can use the Search Comments script to center the comp there.

ha ha no I don't play starcraft :)
I use the navigator a lot, and what I would like would be to be ble to save the navigators "position"
to a hot-key.

Tried the notes tip thing, did not really work and its a bit to many steps.

But thanks a lot for your input.

Coloring your underlays also helps a lot in large comps.

BTW why not merge Fusion with Starcraft...

not in front of fusion right now, but i can imagine a simple script for this.
idea:

script 1 to save position
select a node
get x,y position
panel with a given number of positions to store
store pos to a value in the comp metadata


script 2 to jump to the positions
panel with a given number of positions
read the selected pos from metadata
set flow to this pos


if nobody is faster, i think i can come up with a solution by end of the week

would really love to do it in python for 6.1 but there is now PLE to test for mea

...and also an Observer tool to see modifiers hidden in nodes and channels they conduct/affect :)

Ctrl+F will allow you to find "tags" embedded in your tools.

here is a first try

aint perfect but it show it can be done, so more a proof of concept then a real script

problem 1) i'm unable to jump to x,y pos in the flow, so i used the tool itself (so if you delete it, the script will fail)
problem 2) the current version is not nice for fast jumping around, to many clicks
