Highlight potential exit points

Post by bichlepa » 14 May 2014 18:56

Hello. I have a huge flow that has many loops and conditions and it should only stop in certain circumstances. That means on almost every condition there must be a true and a false connection.
Now it sometimes happens that I forget a connection and the flow stops unexpected.
In order to find those potential exist points it will be fine if they could be highlighted.
It may also be useful to mark points where the flow can split into multiple threads.

One of my flows as example: (This is one of my "Podcast in car" flows. I'll publish them soon. They are still some bugs there.)

Maybe it would be better to put in order your flow? I attached flow for example
And maybe there is another way, when flow is not always running?

@ Nerey
Очень красиво. Я ещё не заметил что соединения можно перемещать!
I didn't notice yet that it's possible to move connections!

@ BoBo
Danke für das Kompliment. Aber noch mehr Chaos wäre möglich, wäre dieser bloß leichter zu handhaben. (Zum Beispiel durch dieses Feature)

Спасибо
Соединения перемещать нельзя, можно только указать точку откуда оно идёт и куда идёт. Для этого нужно выбрать соединение, на элементах подсветятся точки
Thank you
There is no way to move connections, you can only describe begin and end point. To do this you should choose the connection, then the points will light up.

That's what I wanted to say, but I haven't found the right words. I discovered it right after I saw your screenshot.
