Joseph Witt updated NIFI-339:
-----------------------------
Assignee: Matt Gilman
> When adding a template to the graph things can get very messy
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-339
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core UI
> Reporter: Joseph Witt
> Assignee: Matt Gilman
>
> When adding large/complex templates to the graph the system will let you
> unintentionally drop a bunch of stuff on the graph.
> A great analogy provided for this was that this is like unpacking a tar
> bundle. Unless you look into the bundle first you don't know whether it will
> just dump all contents into the current folder or whether it will put it all
> in a subfolder.
> In nifi the user cannot see the template ahead of time. That is likely
> something which should be fixed. Further, when they place something on the
> graph if there will be overlap with anything (visually) perhaps we can warn
> then ahead of time to verify their intent - or simply say it isn't possible
> to do (because most of the time it would be really annoying).
