[Bf-committers] [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [42708] trunk/blender: Removed buttons in node headers for hiding unused sockets and for hiding the (non-socket) option buttons.

[Daniel Salazar - 3Developer.com]

I'm perfectly fine with current "hide all unused sockets while collapsed".
Let's not over think this either, who would want to connect to an unused
socket while collapsed? you can't see a damn thing anyway
