#25Nodes lose unused inlets when applying a function definition.

25 Nodes lose unused inlets when applying a function definition.

  • Suppose the f node has two inlets, but none of them are used by any f nodes in the definition. Then when you apply the definition, all the f nodes lose both of their inlets. On the other hand, if one f node uses none of its two inlets and another uses both, then when you apply the definition, both of them keep both of their inlets.

Comment: This seems not really to be a problem. If NONE of the f nodes use their inlets, then why do they have inlets, anyway? Besides, it should become irrelevant when a new UI is developed without the circular inlets, as in issue 24.

Comment: The inlets will reappear if you reopen the "inputs" dialog and then click "OK".
