As a Pipes user, it's not clear to me how to define Subgraph inputs and outputs so that they are visible in the main graph

[josvanroosmalen]

Before I start working on compiler support for subgraphs, I tried to create a subgraph, but it is not working on master.

Reproduction:

• Start Pipes

• Add Sugraph

• Open Subgraph
• Add Graph -> Input
• Add Graph -> Output
• Add String -> Normalize Space (or link input to output directly)
• Link them together

• Close the subgraph

• ERROR The input/output is not visible

@epoilvet any idea about this? I've not changed the way subgraphs work..
@josvanroosmalen I presume this worked in Beta 4?

Input/ouput names are mandatory in Litegraph framework to be able to see the plug.
99% sure this is the reason why you don't see it.
In the screenshots, the fields still have their name empty (it displays "name" in the input field)

Yes it is working if you set name. However this is a big usability "concern" because "new" user no doubt are also going to do this. Can't we by default not give a default name ("input1" and "output1"). Because a subgraph can have multiple input/outputs this need to be dynamic. So if you auto generate a name "input1", you need to check that already exist. If so, try "input2" and so on.

Can this be fixed together with #134 because #134 was one of the most annoying feedback we got from the POC.

[sashamitrovich]

It would be great to fix this for 1.0.1
