Fixed callback functions and restoring callbacks when the last mirror is deleted. If the original is deleted then the mirror tells the user that it is broken. Disabled creating a mirror of something with no widgets.
Features
- Make a copy of a node without inputs or outputs, the widgets on the mirror node is two way synced to the original.
- Hide widgets you don't care about, or re-enable if you want it back.
- Rearrange widgets to put your favorite up the top.
- Jump from the mirror node to the original node.
Why not just use Get and Set nodes instead?
Get and Set nodes are amazing, but:
- They create breaks in otherwise easy to follow paths
- You need to hide the Get node behind your input nodes if you are trying to minimize dead space
- It splits logic into groups, the "nice looking" part, and the important back end.
Why hasn't it been released?
I still need to fix a few things, there are some pretty big bugs that I need to work on, mainly
- If the original node is deleted, the mirror node will still function but not update a real node and then on a reload could link to an incorrect node causing issues.
- Reordering the widgets work when the workflow is saved, but if you just refresh the window then for some reason the order doesn't save properly
- Multi-line text cant be hidden
- Other custom widgets aren't supported and I don't know how I would go about fixing that without hard-coding them.
- Adding multiple mirrors work, but break the method I use to restore the original node's callback function.
Future Plans
If I have enough time and can find ways to do it, I would love to add the following features
- Hide title bar of mirror node.
- Fix the 10px under the last widget that I can't seem to remove.
- Allow combining of multiple real nodes into one mirror node.
