For all transformers, it would be nice if feature caching would only cache for ports that had a connector on it. This could either be global functionality, or even better would be some kind of parameter that allows the user to cache or not cache un-connected ports.
+5Hi Dustin. Can you explain what your frustration is with the current behaviour, are you looking for the canvas to just be cleaner or is it performance related?

Reduction in overhead when using caching. An example would a TestFilter where 1000000 features are being input, only 100 are being passed to additional process with the rest essentially being dropped. Caching of those 900,900 features creates unnecessary processing time.
+26I’m wondering out loud if, rather than have this as a Transformer Parameter, perhaps this could be more easily done as a Connector Parameter?
Doesn’t need all different Transformer Dialogs changed then. Just make it a property of the Connector(s) as to whether the Output Port(s) that feed them whether to Cache those Output Port(s).
Connection Options.
1. Default = Resets all Connectors to that Transformer to Cached (and not just the Selected Connector). Also sets any unconnected Output Ports to Cached.
