I'm not sure if this has been listed, but it would be convenient to have the ability to select more than one node and then select the same property in all of the selected nodes to change it once.  In this way, we could then change that one setting for all of these selected nodes at the same time by one change instead of numerous changes to the same property in every node.

I second that...and in addition I'd love to see a selection rectangle for nodes...

All in favor say I? :D
Both are great ideas!

Anything to make it easier to work with the nodes.  A rectangle...any way to grab those babies more easily. 

And it would be nice for the mouse image to change over the node to something registering the fact that the mouse is ready for me to grab the node.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

One thing I'd quite like is, when you import an object, can we have a wireframe representation of it or something like that in the render preview - the box makes it very hard to accurately position something.

that would a great addition allowing a wireframe preview... on many objects/xfrog trees I've tried relying on the box is more or less guess work until a quick render is done to get placement accurate...

Yes.  Useful idea.

how about a way to minimize to a toolbar icon, eg where sound control icon is, while rendering?.... too many times i've acidentially closed a rendering windows:(..

Calico it already does that, they're just so small you can't see the color change. They go all the way white I believe.

I have the same problem guessing where, within the box, my object is. However, a wireframe would not be a good idea for all objects.

That's another good idea, although I think that there are programs somewhere on the internet that can do that for you.

Anyone see any notes as to when the next update will be?

Besides the bug fixes, I am really looking forward to the water having transparency, color, and foam near the edges. 

The transparency and color will allow us to make carribean style water, and the foam will hopefully have an input to where we could attach fractal and image shaders, etc.

As everything else seems to be working well (or otherwise has a workaround), I think the water options mentioned above should be a priority.

Good point moodflow.
I think those are definitely the additions I would like to see next -after bug fixes like you said  ;)

You're right.  I can't see it.

Here's another idea.

An input on the Twist and Shear box that will allow the direction to adjusted over position.    I wonder if that's feasible.    Not particularly high priority, but might be nice to see later on.

Isn't the redirect shader more or less concerning this?
