Hello Luditect Developers and Designers!
We are back with v1.0.9, a dedicated quality-of-life update focused on making your charting, node graph workflows, and database management feel incredibly fluid. We have streamlined how nodes interact with one another and polished several underlying editor behaviors based on your daily workflows.
Here is what is new in Luditect v1.0.9:
Contextual Node Creation: You can now click and drag a connection line from any handle into empty space to pop open a quick menu and instantly generate a fully connected node.
Smart On-Edge Dropping: Inserting a node into an existing path is now a breeze. Simply hold Shift or Ctrl while dragging a node over a connection line—the line will glow amber, and dropping the node will seamlessly splice it right into the middle of the flow.
Omnidirectional Handles: Node handles have been upgraded to support bi-directional logic, meaning you can now pull or receive connections from any handle in any direction without restriction.
Adaptive Skill Tree Spacing: The auto-layout feature is now much smarter; it automatically reads the exact width of your custom text inside each node to calculate a perfectly balanced layout, eliminating clipping.
Intelligent Viewport Spawning: New nodes will now spawn dynamically next to your active selection or snap directly to the center of your current screen view so you never lose track of them.
Polished Database Center Rows: The "Add New Property" button has been refined to append field rows to your current section rather than cluttering your workspace with duplicate empty sections.
Uninterrupted Text Cursor Navigation: We fixed an issue in the Skill Tree editor where you couldn't use your mouse to move the text cursor while editing a node's title or description.
Seamless Grid Dragging: Resolved a friction point where nodes would shift unexpectedly instead of triggering a box-selection marquee when snap-to-grid was turned on.
Guaranteed Zoom Controls: Re-engineered the canvas shortcuts so that Ctrl + +/-/0 zoom controls trigger reliably across all editing modules.
Smoother Asset Folder Management: Fixed a minor interface hitch where the "New Folder" input field would lose active focus after popping up a deletion confirmation box.
We are continuously working to make Luditect the most seamless systemic design tool out there. Grab the update, jump back into your systems, and let us know what you think!
Happy designing!
