Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What would your feature do ?

It would be nice to either have a hovering alt text or even something in the properties panel that lets you see which directory a node is trying to pull files from. Sometimes it is unclear where models should go and sometimes nodes use non-standard locations.

Proposed workflow

  1. Hover over input box
  2. Hover text shows full path

Research direction
Investigate how nodes display file paths in the current UI. Look at the existing properties panel and tooltip mechanisms. Implement a feature to show the directory path when hovering over an input or in the properties panel.
