Hi guys! I’ve briefly talked about this suggestion on the last community meeting and now I’ll bring it here so everyone can give their feedback on this idea. Any of us that have interacted with a project that has a lot of screens and interactions have seen this type of thing:
This type of visual mess could be mitigated or even completely removed if we adopted one single toggle option in the view menu, which I’ve named: Hide adjacent prototype interactions. By default, this should be turned off, but we can turn on by going to the view menu. The objective of this option is to make the canvas cleaner and easier to navigate when we have too much interactions flowing around.
How it should work?
Once the option is activated, Penpot will only show interactions coming to and from the board we are currently selecting and nothing else, making the wire mess less annoying to deal with in big projects and allowing us to focus on what is selected. Basically is like the focus mode when we press F, but for interactions.
If nothing is selected, the visible interactions will come from the last selected board only, showing grayed to represent they are not selected.
What do you guys think?
