Group node Asset description link

Assets can have description, but for group nodes that may not be immediatly obvious unless using asset browser.

I propose some sort of link to that description in right click menu on node group

additionally: descriptions in current display in asset browser are hard to read in one line display. I propose to use some word wrap function to adjust the display for multiple lines of text according to N pannel width

OLD post content:

original post name: Geometry nodes "group node description"

Simillarly to description of node sockets, I think it would be benefitial for group nodes to have a parameter, where creator of the node group could further describe nodes function.

This could be done as asset setting already?

You're right. Sorry I missed that. I was looking at hair nodes and it didn't cross my mind.

2 small improvement suggestions:

  • some sort of link to asset description inside geometry nodes editor or the nodes them selfs could be nice (something like "online manual" button leading to blender manual in right click menu but for this description instead)
  • small UI note - longer descriptions usually don't fit in one row in N menu leading to user having to spread it out pretty wide. Some display for multiple rows and word wrap function adjusting for size of N panel would improve clarity.

In the future, please make a completely new post for a different suggestion. Your editing has completely changed the context of my reply (which was correct, and now is not.)
