Switch UI panels without halting?

Hi,

I’m wondering what’s a good way to switch UI panels.
Using a select panel and dynamically changing the path (from a radio button for example) is quite slow, same when toggling on and off the display flags.
What would be a nice way to pre-cook all the UI and keep them in memory but hidden?

Thanks!
Vincent

I’d hope turning off the Display parameter would be fast, unless it’s the first time the nodes are cooking/displaying. Is it possible to send an example of the slowness? I’d think it can be optimized.

I’ve found that as well with the display toggle depending on what’s in the panel, that it seems to redraw the stuff and be a bit slower. I often just reduce the height of the containing panel to 0 and make sure cropping is on I think…
