Hi, These may be just 'noob' impressions from someone who hasn't learned enough NiFi yet (I may be missing something obvious).
My first confusion is about dataflows vs. templates. I've developed a couple of templates. Now I want to drop a template into the canvas and treat that as a dataflow or an instance of a template. But I don't see a way to save this instance into any persistent store, or any way to manage its lifecycle (edit, delete etc). Is there something I'm missing or are there features in progress related to this? I mean, where does the dataflow go if I kill the browser? It seems to persist... but what happens when I want to create a slightly different rendition of the same flow? Is there a namespaced persistence for dataflows with CRUD operations supported? I keep looking for a File -> New, File -> Open, File -> Save type of metaphor. My second item is the mouse roller. Yes, the mouse roller which at least on the Mac causes the canvas to zoom in or zoom out. Having used other products, the typical metaphor seems to be that rolling gets you a vertical scrollbar and you can scroll up and down, with a separate UI gesture that lets you zoom in/out. I can't seem to get used to this zooming behavior. Thoughts? Thanks, - Dmitry
