it would be great to switch the visibility of links on and off.
i thought about a simple
way to switch (for example) all the green links
in a layer or the whole schematic from visible to
invisible or dotted and transparent.
perhaps using this existing panel on the synthmaker gui? ---->>>>
First right click hides the links in the current layer,
second right click for the whole schematic. it would be
a lot more organized and in case you´re not longer
working with blue data for example just hide it !
i think (and hope) thats no problem for you guys
to solve this problem 😉

urm, Wireless links?
philter5 ·
i know that i can use wireless links but i never work ONLY with wireless links and if you want to make
a existing weird schematic more organized it would not be a good solution if i had to change all the normal links
to wireless ones,or?

and to make it more complicated (or convenient?) link types (colours) could be selected individually.

imagine the function of showing only links of selected modules or primitives. Could make the trace of a signal flow much easier.

🙁 for ME it would be usefull and i think i am not the only one.
we are not talking about a schematic without links, i just want to make
e.g. float links transparent for a short while for a better overview

thx stw you know what i mean 😉

I second rl. -10.
It is any user's right of course to come up with ideas, but you'll also have to accept that there are other users than YOU, who may not share your opinion.
To me this feature seems completely useless. If you are getting lost in your own schematic, maybe it's time to reorganize that schematic, or buy a larger monitor 😉
I do hope the devs will spend their time working on more urgent stuff, not on useless whistles and bells.

So do i have to scroll through every idea or request posted in that forum, simply to throw in my statement if it's of any use to me what another one could need?
If u want to discuss about requests please do it in a manner that's worth to be answered. If "i don't need it, so it's useless..." is all u have to say please leave your hands of the keys next time. 😉
If you're interested in that topic or why i or the threadstarter thinks the devs should consider that feature you are invited to ask. Otherwise please bring in your own serious comments and maybe we could find a conclusion.

who said that i do not accept that there are others users?
the only reason why i opened this thread was to show my opinion of what
can be helpful (especially to new users) and get positive or even negative feedback.
seems like YOU won´t really accept that there are other users.
also i know the devs won´t work on this if it is as useless as you said.
and even if it is that useless for you, nobody would force you to use this option,or?
but before this post is the cause for a conflict i´ll better leave this thread and
work on more urgent stuff, not on useless post fights...
😠

hey guys,
I don't see the trouble, it is your right to say something is useful, but it is also my right to say it is useless.
And honestly, that's my opinion. And if the devs would spend time working on things like this that would further slow down the development of features that are much more needed.
By the way my previous post (like this one) was serious.
And I will not "leave my hands from the keys" because one of you guys decides it is "not in a manner that's worth to be answered".
On the contrary, being an enthousiastic and proud user of SynthMaker, I will state my opinion here in this forum whenever I feel that's necessary and in a way that fits me

shake hands, let´s forget this. of course there are many features that are much more needed
and as i said the reason why i started this thread was only
to get pos. or neg. feedback, thats what i expected.
i am a proud user of synthmaker too so let´s make synths, not war...

If they added to SM highlighting of all connected links to a module as you moused-over & the directly-connected modules/primitives, that could help.

good idea...

Good idea too... No hard feelings here. Have a nice day!

Max/MSP has this feature, with the ability to 'hide links on lock' (In Max when you 'lock' a schematic it turns components from edit mode to use mode, and there is a presentation mode which only displays components (so you can easily hide all links).
So... + 1, but without the above features it might get a bit confusing...
In terms of usefullness, it IS very useful, and that is coming from somebody who has seen and used these features (although not in SM granted), but of course that's just my opinion 😉 nobody is right or wrong.
Further to this I would add that if you could hide any component (not just links) and then include a button on the SM GUI for 'Hidden' and 'Unhidden' modes, with a diferent coloured background for each mode, this would be very handy! That way you could group links & components and hide them whilst you are working on other parts of the schematic to stop them getting in the way.
