Automatic ADD NODE After Link/Connect to Empty Space

Motivation Currently, when making a link to an empty space does nothing.

Proposal If the link/connect ends on an empty space, automatically bring out Add Node. This can speed up a lot of thing and make the compositing, material creation etc. more convenient.

After choosing the desired node to be added, automatically creating a link between the two nodes like in Node Wranglers “Link Active to Selected” would be awesome addition

see the images over here … developer.blender.org/T48588 please consider to make it in both directions, from outputs and inputs also

Many thanks for considering this easy to implement, extreme speed up to the workflow .

Cheers, Jozef

What prevented you from adding an image to your proposal? Absolutely worst case, you could upload the images to imgur and embed them in your proposal that way (using Markdown syntax, of course).

I was unable to add post image when submitting the proposal. The image that should appear instead of the orange dot on the main page :(

That's odd. Did you receive an error?

jozef_zajac Author

Some orange button with Houston and try again, or later

jason

Got it. Did you try more than once?

jozef_zajac Author

Yes I did, and different browser, and from different computer too :(. Next time, when I post some new idea, I will make a print screen.

This would greatly improve workflow! I use this very successfully in many different visual programming software like UE4.
