designer/node information

hi,

you know when we drag out a new connection from a node, the node list pops-up. and in this list the nodes available are specific to the node connected to the connection we just created? well i was wondering if this information is available? i would like to work on a plugin that utilises this information.

regards,
phil

Hello Phil,

Thanks for the message,

This list is made so it only show you the same type nodes: Color - Color, Grayscale - Grayscale

The info isn't available and sorting it through the Python API could be a complicated task.

Out of curiosity, what do you want to achieve with the list?

Best regards,

oh is it just color > color, grayscale > grayscale? i didnt catch onto that! my bad.

and in the somewhat near future i want to start working on smart(intuitive) plugins, whereas now im working on "fast"  plugins of which its main goal is to speed up the workflow. and i thought when i get around to working on the smart plugins, having such info like knowing what nodes specifically can be connected to a selected node (maybe stored in a json file?) at my disposal would be invaluable.

regards,

phil
