If you want.

I already get how great NR is.

It kind of gets away from the "programming" and gets more (or at least in some ways) towards a higher level programming idea.

But I have found a small annoyance:
All these "DEBUG" nodes.

If you have a big flow and tried your best to give them useful names:  sometimes you can't find a node which is spitting out data over the top of what you are wanting to debug.

You are watching the node (the one in which you are interested) do things and now and then you get spurious stuff from another node you have left active by mistake.

Finding it can be painful.

It would be nice if you can click on the debug list and there be something there which can tell you at least what tab/flow the node is on.

If you have 5 tabs/flows with a lot of debug nodes, it can be painful looking for one you left active by mistake.

In the top right corner of every debug message is the id of the node it came from. If you click that it will take you straight to the node.

Nick,

Thanks very much.

I think I need to go to the optomatrist (spelling?) and get my eyes checked.
