Node Library and Sessions

Node Library is the fastest way to discover and place nodes while keeping variants and session reuse under control.

Node Library

Node library

  • Search by label, tags, service class, operator class, or description
  • Click a node, then left-click on canvas to place it
  • Use right-click menus for details, variants, and cleanup actions

Useful context actions:

  1. Show Details
  2. Manage Variants...
  3. Delete Variant...
  4. Variants

Context menu Show details Variant manager

Variants

Variants are best for stable parameter presets, not for large structural changes.

  • Keep one variant per meaningful behavior profile
  • Name variants after the scenario they unlock
  • Avoid using variants to hide missing documentation

Stored file:

~/.f8/studio/nodeVariants.json

Session Files

Studio auto-saves the latest session to:

~/.f8/studio/lastSession.json

Common session shortcuts:

  1. Ctrl+S: save current session
  2. Ctrl+O: load last session
  3. Ctrl+Shift+O: open session file
  4. Ctrl+Shift+S: save as
  5. Ctrl+Shift+I: insert external graph into current canvas
