Fell in love with your programm))) But I can see several things that can make Symbinode even better at this stage:

1) New project opens automatically when app is launched (it's weird to go to File > New each time I start it)

2) Ctrl+S hotkey to save the project also will be great:)

3) Not sure what exactly Export does now, but I spent some time trying to get my png's. Anyway it's awesome that Node View allows to save image at any step (I personally used it for masks as well as for final Albedo/Normal etc.), but it's not obvious where to click for newbies right now)))

4) I'd like Symbinode to have option for saving global preferences as well as per project (for example I want my default resolution to be 4k for each project I start, without setting it each time manually)

5) And the one that I really miss)))) In blender new nodes can be automatically attached to already existing node-connections or removed from the chain without breaking connection. It would be super awesome to have this feature, since it saves huge amount of time when you don't need to manually connect all the nodes.

Thank you for the feedback. I will try to answer all the questions.

1. When you open a program you don't always want to start from scratch. Maybe you want to open an existing project and opening a project by default is an unnecessary delay in starting. If you are talking about the speed of creating a new project you can use the CTRL+N hotkey which is faster than going through the menu. Also with the advent of settings I think it will be possible to make an option.

2. CTRL + S is already available from the first version. If your hotkeys did not work we would like to know the details.

3. To export you need to have output nodes created. Then you need to select the folder where the program will save the files.

4. Settings are planned after the implementation of patch 0.3 . We apologize for any inconvenience in connection with this.

5. Convenience options which I mentioned in the article just contain these things. We try to make everything as competent as possible and not to run ahead of the locomotive. Thank you for understanding.

Thank you for reply. Ctrl+N was too simple to try, lol))) I've checked Ctrl+s works fine, at least now I know that I should look at the name of the project to see if it's saved))) Anyway I love what you do guys!!
