[Bf-funboard] Node view tweaks request

[bassam]

It needn't be an either/or. viewer nodes are valuable for persistent
needed views that are especially important, but a temporary "view this"
command/tool/hotkey/what have you would help in precisely the screenshot
you posted; I doubt you would ever (well I wouldn't) want to keep so
many viewer nodes around in a scene.
you can in the meantime use the ctrl-click to attach a viewer to a node,
but it does not afaik let you select which specific output.
