Show more or all of the pipe name in the flow editor
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When looking at a flow an trying to understand the working of the adapter the pipe names are important but you don't see all of the name in most cases because the last part is replaced by dots. You can do mouse over but it is a hassle to move the mouse around and wait for al the mouse-overs while trying to understand the flow.
Describe the solution you'd like Use all available space in the element to show the pipe name or make the element wider. In the Graphviz flow the elements become as wide as is needed for the pipe name this makes the Graphviz flow much easier to read / understand.
Describe alternatives you've considered I described two options above.
Additional context -
The node styling has been changed in the past. To keep this kind of work to a minimum, we should discuss this in a meeting. It might be a good idea to involve @nielslam in this discussion.
We'll need to do some research for what's best regarding the design and UX of the flow.
Making the nodes wider had pros and cons. Pros:
- Full name is shown and can be read. Cons:
- The flow will be harder to structure
- The placement algorithm needs to be more complex
- Zooming out the text won't be easy to read, but the node will stay large.
Possible solutions:
- Layers while zooming: Only show icons when zoomed out and add the text when they are readable again.
- Option to show full name or shorted
