The dialog is quite small right now, could it be increase by, lets say 100 pixels? Done. Utkarsh ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages

Now I miss an edit box or alike that shows your selection for every input! I think this is important, at least I scrolled around to see what the edit boxes say with the actual form in the first place! :) Utkarsh Ayachit wrote: Folks, I've committed some changes. A slight change from the

Thanks Utkarsh I like it ! However - let me know if I am boring ;) -, for multiple inputs on one port (such as AppendGeometry), it would be nice if the current inputs are already selected when choosing Change Input in the pipeline browser. Lazy men (yes, I am) don't want to reselect them...

My 2 cents on this : It seems to me that the input list is provided in alphabetical order. In my case I have a lot of custom plugins that take 2 inputs, one being vtkImageData and the other a vtkPolyData (such a stream tracer with custom source). Depending on wich is the 'principal' input, the

I am not sure why there's a problem. In your case, your filters have 2 input ports. e.g. in the stream tracer case, referring to the mockup, INPUT1 will be called Input while INPUT2 will be called ArbitrarySource or Source as the case may be. Both of which allowing the user to only add 1 item in

Then I was right : I was not clear enough! First, I talked about the current panel, not your mockup. I agree with those who enthousiastic. Second, the problem I noted on the multiple-input-port panel is that the input are not ordered by index, but by name. Changing Source to ArbirtraySource in

One simple fix would be to make sure that the preview window isn't selectable. A lot of my users get confused thinking one box is for the input and the other as the source. Regards, Paul On 12 March 2010 19:10, Utkarsh Ayachit utkarsh.ayac...@kitware.com wrote: I cannot agree more. I am going

[Paraview] Input Editor - Cramped Input Port Selection

Hello! I wonder why the input port selection is so cramped in the input editor. It is really bad that you cannot actually read out the selections you make without moving the scrollbar. Then, after scrolling, you cannot change the other input without scrolling back. This really steals your
