Have Add Const block automatically up-size a scalar constant to a vector constant

1

### Feature Description When a vector length is specified in the Add Const block then the Constant value must be a vector with a matching length. We could easily create...

Improve error text when block without a handler receives a message

4

### What happened? The warning `tpb_thread_body :warning: asynchronous message buffer overflowing, dropping message` was printed during a flowgraph running. This message makes it clear that some message buffer is overflowing...

Re-implement support for straight connections between blocks

Generate/Run fails silently if the GRC flowgraph has not yet been saved

1

### What happened? Clicking the Generate or Run buttons has no effect and prints/displays no error message if the flowgraph has not been saved yet. Possible fixes from best to...

OOT Module Browser feedback
