mindmapping like hierarchical view
v2Belleville
oftentimes, it makes a more compact picture to display a hierarchy in concentric cercles around the root (like some mindmapping tools do).
would be nice to have the same kind of automatic display that would calculate this (like the existing one for a tree like hierarchy )

Interesting, thank you for this feedback!
I think if the default layout (force-based layout) did this positioning, it would always be the preferred? What do you think?
v2Belleville
Sebastian Wictorin: I'm afraid I do not understand your question 🤔...
another idea I got about positioning of nodes is something like what you get to position objects in Word for example : that would be selecting a bunch of node and apply a certain positioning to them, that could be cercle around the root node, put in a line, make closer/wider appart ... etc

v2Belleville: Sorry if I was unclear. The picture you posted looks like a force-based layout - just a bit neater than what Bloom usually does.
Your idea reminds me that we have a lot of opportunity to make repositioning much more flexible. Thanks!
v2Belleville
Sebastian Wictorin: yes , it is a force based layout but with a different kind of force : the current one in bloom makes a line of subnodes, this one makes a bloom
v2Belleville
Sebastian Wictorin: yes adjusting a display to make it meaningful currently is a nightmare, if you want to deal with more than 10 nodes... last night, after spending I do not know how much more time on the display I need, Bloom just froze ... everything lost again...
in your defense, the machine crashed maybe an hour later, and since I get this sometimes, there might be a problem with the way the machine deals with memory... but that is why we really need to be able to save manually build displays ...

v2Belleville: That sounds awful. Thank you this feedback, it will be helpful for us as we continue to develop Bloom.
