Re: [stem-dev] Graph Editor - Further Work

Hi Jan-Fredrik,

the only issue I see with creating a new graph to store added labels is that graph then becomes "special", i.e. is the next time you open the canonical graph containing the special graph you need to remember to store new labels in that graph. We could maybe use a naming convention, but then what if you have two "user created additions" graphs etc.

Can you easily detect which graph file contained the node you're adding labels too? Maybe it's easier to add the new label to that graph. For edges, if the source node and dest node is in the same file, it's easy. If they are in different files we can just use the convention to always add the edge to graph of the source node. By the way I don't think we need to implement adding new edges and nodes for this release.

Thanks,
/ Stefan

Hi all,

To quickly fix the bugs til end of the week,
As the added labels are completely new, we have to think about where to
add the labels. 
a) If it is only one graph: sure, saved in this graph. 
b) When we "Save As..": the same: it is all saved in one graph.

c) If we open a canonical graph, potentially consisting of several
graphs that contribute labels, it might become more difficult..
c1) Make a new graph, called something like "user created additions",
where labels, edges and nodes (latter two not implemented yet) will be
saved
c2) Make up something clever to assign the change to the appropriate
graph and save it there

I think c1 is easier at the moment. What do you think? Any objections?


Jan
