[Feature Request]: navigation capacity in hpl or hwf

[mhamedbenjmaa]

What would you like to happen?

in V2.18.1 if you have a large hwf file ,like this one , you have no way to navigate with cursor or keybord

only option is zoom , in after couple of zoom out you cant read

im aware about the little navigation square on the bottom right but its too small

just using the keybord to go up down left and right it will be awesome

I'm using fedora java 24

You can also use middle mouse button but I like this idea

I like the idea but could I have the workflow as an anti-pattern example? TIA! :-)

here is the hwf file pretty awesome right ;) , told you i'm all in on all my customers

LOAD_STA.hwf.zip

Just a friendly reminder that a workflow paths via a back-tracking algorithm so despite the "hub and spoke" design of the workflow, all actions will be executed in sequence. Because of that I recommend doing the serialization a bit more explicit. I also recommend splitting up the large workflow into smaller pieces.

100%
but this is part of my SSIS2HOP project, my customers have like super huge dtsx, its not my job to optimize for them SSIS2HOP role is to convert

even if, there is no east navigation , not even scroll bars on vertical an horizontal axes its would be good the have them

Oh I see! That's obviously a completely different matter. We often inheriit "difficult" designs when migrating projects. Are we sure that the order of operations is identical to that in SSIS then?
You see, I would still suggest to consider generating sub-workflows to force an identical order and to simplify the workflows.
