World Nodes: Search/filter by ID

[Phil_T]

I'd be handy to paste an ID into the filter box to get to a node that you know caused an issue. It's a problem to find when have lots of nodes with similar names (e.g. Cuboid_1 - Cuboid_400)!

Hi Phil,

Thank you for the suggestion. Will for sure implement in the future updates.

Feature would be available with 2.14 SDK update. Works only when filter ID is fully matching the node ID:

Hi, This is good news.

I would add that being able to search for any kind of GUID (not just a node GUID) is needed. Sometimes we get a warning about an unsupported texture file with a cryptic GUID, it would be great to know who exactly requires it...

Thanks!

Hi Stephane,

Yes I agree that some error messages needs to be refined. We'll think how to improve this in the future SDK versions.

ATM you can try to find your GUID in guids.db file and see the original file it refers.

Thanks!

Well, the issue here (in our specific case) is the GUID is not in guids.db either (in fact, a text search in ALL files doesn't find any reference of the GUID). We just have the error msg but no way to find who searches this guid...

In that case it may be stored in material (*.mat) / world (*.world) / node (*.node) or property (*.prop) files. Maybe it also store inside *.meta files as well.
