Reference for symbol [>] <-- an issue has been created for this

Important issues

• Connections from input are sometimes not correctly evaluated

• Rearranging parameters with additional annotations (e.g. ShaderParameters) breaks operator

• Modifying Pre/Post Curve modes are applied to all (not just selected curves)

• [>] Indicate non-default Pre/Post curve mode in timeline (e.g. icons)

• [>] Bug: In Add input dialog requires to switch type once

• [>] Reset modifier keys if app regain window focus

• [>] Publish output from Graph

• [>] Ask before removing inputs and outputs (can't be undone)

• [>] Fix MultiInput connection editing

• [>] Combine into new Symbol should prefill current project and namespace

• Command bar shortcuts should work if UI is hidden

• Inserting keyframes does not always use neighbour interpolation type

• Looks like only last animated value edit to a vec3 can't be undone?

• Maybe bookmarks should toggle pinning?

• Rethink bookmarks -> Add marker in Op with number / switch with numbers only. only bring to view if hidden

• Export should use project folder and some prefix like _

• Fix tiny node-text with 200% display-scaling

• Focus selected op in SymbolLibrary

• Collapse Symbol Library

• Add Voronoi Pattern Shader

• Add Project image onto SdfMaterial

• Duplicate as new type should also duplicate variations and snapshot enabled ops!

• Variations should be stored at project folder

• !!! Indicate read-only operators

• Fix: Turbulence force Amount from Velocity

• Fix: Rename Direction "RandomAmount" -> Variation

• Idea: Add option to switch space of SnapToAnglesForce

• Fix: SwitchParticleForce filtering with -1 and -2

• Fix: render-Resolution factor is no longer working?

• Complete import T3-project window?

• Test create new project

• Persist project workspaces: Window Layout, Timeline (Zoom, visible Parameters), Output Settings (resolution, Gizmo, Pinned Instance), Selected Ops?

• Fix shader warning / error display -> Use it to fix AMD Raymarch error

• Add Resample Points loop parameter

• Check PerlinNoise3 GainAndBias (rename!) with higher Amplitude parameter

• @unc Raymarch field

• Add [RaymarchField] IterationGlow

• Fix Nik's Custom shader bug (see https://discord.com/channels/823853172619083816/823853172966817864/1485735996891857100)

Clean up Asset-Paths

• Implement auto fix methods
• Test for Lib and example
• Sort SharedResources -> Lib/ and Examples/
• Write new resource-paths to all symbols
• Test File drop
• Test Asset Library
• [.] Fix startup warnings
• Simplify resource uri resolve method
• [.] Run tests
• Introduce ignores files list
• Extra AssetRegistry
• Move AssetTypes to Core
• Extend Asset with isDirectory
• Return temp Assets?
• Update conform
• Check file hook on rename
• Check file hook on delete
• Add FolderPaths Assets
• In AssetLib (only use AssetRegistry)
• [.] Test Recompile / Symbol Reload
• Rename "Resource/" -> "Assets/"

Asset Lib

• Fix count alignment
• Fix selection sync
• Automatically open "Examples" instead of "Lib" on Asset Library
• Highlight current project in Asset browser (Bold?)
• Implement search
• Handle File asset Drag and Drop between folders
• Implement multi selection
• Check .\Lib\Resources\shaders\points\sim\SimSamplePointAttributes.hlsl
• Maybe: Fix paths with pasting symbols from (e.g. from Discord)
• Use AssetTypes and AssetRegistry to draw FilePicking with filters
• Disabled asset browser popup
• Collect AssetReferences on package load
• List all uses for an Asset
• Replace [...] button with "open asset lib" window action

optional:

• Add some kind of cache which projects have been "fixed"
• Move obsolete user examples to separate project

Skill Quest

• Design for HUB, title, etc.

• Serialize user progress

• Model for a level progression map (JSON?)

• model for user progress

• HUB Area

  • [/] Show next Topic/Level with action
    • Infer the next level from active Topic and User results (e.g. completed, skipped etc.)
  • Toolbar with reset
    • Later: [ ] List zones and levels with status

• introduce "playmode" with a custom layout

  • pin output to composition
  • load custom layout
  • Hide ui-elements
  • Hide Output window toolbar
  • keep the app menu hidden
  • override layout switching etc. in playmode
  • maybe: prevent actions in the dropdown menu
  • Derive topics and levels from skills project namespace

• [.] add state machine for playmode

  • design flow in figma
  • Play level tutorial
  • Level completed pop-up with progression to the next level / topic
  • [!] Continue to next level after completed
  • [!] Exit to the main menu
  • Tips after time out?
  • Later: Player feedback

• Difficulty modes (start with simple user settings)

• Create TiXL learning project

• Create PlayResult-Op

• Implement some kind of back-channel so PlayResult-Op can send events to the editor

• Tour-Points (Should probably be orthogonal from SkillQuest)

  • extend model
  • add user-settings for "Skip tours"
  • show tour indicator near the op name and description.
  • save tour-progress for SymbolId in user settings (maybe with -1 as completed or canceled)
  • Implement tour mode with popup / continue / back, etc.

• Add some kind of dropdown mode to switch between gradient presets.

• Save gradient presets of symbol child op

• Ideas for later:

  • Somehow reference ops to solution for indicating incorrect changes

• Add CustomUi for [Time]

Asset-Lib

• Undo/Do for changing
• Indicate hidden file reference for selected op
• Reveal hidden
• AssetsTypeRegistry
• Indicate matching types
• Drag and Drop to Graph
  • Link Image -> [LoadImage]
• Toolbar
  • Collapse all
  • Context menu
    • File Selections
    • Action...
      • Reveal in Explorer
      • Edit externally
      • Delete
      • Add to graph -> Create and select op
      • Later: find references
      • Group selecting into Folder
      • Create Folder
    • Filter with counts
      • List derived from AssetTypeRegistry
• Select multiple (e.g. Shift)
• Keyboard navigation Up/Down Left/Right for collapse
• Search / Filter
• Show preview on hover?

UI

• add color preview to vec4 (and maybe a history gradient?)

• Create [HowToUseVariables]

• Scaling color to zero clears hue and saturation.

• PointList parameter needs max height

• Idea: bookmark / navigation panel

• Snapshots: Somehow fix use-case "update set this parameter for these snapshots"

• Snapshots: Layout snapshots like on Controller

• Fix: Raymarch point

Feedback from Alex 2

• Try to get rid of console
• Import / Load projects to library
• Press P again to unpin
• Provide warning if project folder is owned by OneCloud
• AssetHandling: Import multiple assets or even folders through drag&drop
• Idea: Reactivate Op templates?
• Idea: Cursor Up/Down in parameter input widget to modify numerical values

Project handling / Project HUB

• [!] Project settings should save output resolution
• Project hub context menu Open in Explore is not working #719
• [>] Automatically load last project from user settings
• unload projects from project list
• [>] Project backups should be project specific

Graph

• Publish as input does not create connection
• Split Connections on drop
• Panning/Zooming in CurveEdit-Popup opened from SampleCurveOp is broken
• Create connections from dragging out of parameter window
• Refactor IStatusMessageProvider "Success" indication #714
• Add shortcut to insert op on the right side

UI-Scaling Issues (at x1.5):

• Full-Screen cuts off timeline ruler units
• Pressing F12 twice does not restore the layout
• in Duplicate Symbol description field is too small
• Add some kind of FIT button to show all or selected operators

Ops

• Rounded Rect should have blend parameter
• Remove Symbol from Editor
• Fix SnapToPoints
• Sort out obsolete pixtur examples
• [?] Rename PlayVideo to LoadVideo
• Add [OrientImage] with flip, rotate 90d, 180d 270d
• Clean up [SnapPointsToGrid] with amount
• FIX: Filter returns a point with count 0 (with random-seed not applied)
• Deprecate DrawPoints2
• Cleanup *-template.hlsl -> -gs.hlsl
• [Set-] and [BlendSnapshots] (see API mock examples)
• ExecuteTextureUpdate should be a multiInput

Particles

• Provide optional reference to points in [GetParticleComponents]

SDF-Stuff

• Changing the parameter order in the parameter window will break inputs with [GraphParam] attribute
• Ray marching glow
• Some form of parameter freezing
• Flexible shader injection (e.g. DrawMesh normals, etc.)
• ShaderGraphNode should be bypassable
• Undo/Redo seems to be broken when editing custom SDF shaders

General UX-ideas:

• StatusProvideIcon should support non-warning indicator
• Drag and drop of files (copy them to resources folder and create LoadXYZ instance...)
• With Tapping and Beat-Lock, no Idle-Animation should probably "pause" all playback?

Other features

• EXR image sequence support #740

Refactoring

• Refactor to use Scopes

Long-Term ideas:

• Render-Settings should be a connection type, including texture sampling, culling, z-depth
