remove node editor zoom out limit.

I have a big...node editor, and the current zoom limit prevents me from zooming out far enough to see it all.

Could we remove the zoom out limit?

Damn that must be some massive node tree. Would love to see a screenshot put together (with a frame showing Blender's limit?) but yeah I can see it becoming a more frequent issue as artists and studios make more and more complex scenes, especially if Blender's performance keeps improving. Although, it's more for showing off your node tree because otherwise you can always make node groups.

not really that big. Can't use node groups as they don't work with drivers (leads to recursion errors)

ChameleonScales

I use drivers in nodegroups myself so, not sure what's happening but I guess you can have a setup that causes a recursion error. In that case yeah, space starts to become a problem.

yes you're right. If you only use the group once, then the recursion shouldn't happen, so it is an option. I prefer to see my tree all at once though personally, so the ability to zoom out to any level would be awesome.

I understand. Also, creating groups that aren't meant to be reused fills up the "Add" menu and makes it more difficult to find those you do reuse.
