I'm using graphite with multiple artboards in a single project, and the node graph is starting to get crowded :

At this point, manual organization of nodes is tedious, and needs to be done regularly to account for new nodes.

Automatically placement is messy, some nodes are placed on top of each other :

New nodes aren't placed in the most convenient of manners, and often need to be manually moved before being able to work with them :

New tools to add ?

Some additional features might make working with the node graph more convenient, such as :

  • A way to group nodes into collapsible folders
  • A way to quickly hide/show nodes based on selection

I found two related issues : #1820 and #1819

#1820 lists the following shortcut which is indeed very useful : Drag to move node (shift to drag row)
