mass replace tools

[cslunger]

Sometimes a dependency with a macro breaks, or I am local 'versioning' a macro and want to replace it in another workflow, without losing all of the connections.

If we could replace a tool, or if it is missing upon opening a workflow select a tool to take the missing one's place but keep the same connections, that would be incredibly helpful.

Even a dialog to help resolve missing macros (with a file picker to find the new path) would really help.

For existing macros in a workflow, this functionality is already available in the Workflow Dependencies feature in Options > Advanced... but if you're talking about Missing Macros? Well stay tuned, coming soon!!! 😁

(PS. Check out announcements about our Public Previews for the 23.2 release if you'd like a sneak peek of this functionality!)

It brings me INCREDIBLE joy to announce the release of a new, MUCH improved experience for updating missing macros in your workflow, released with 23.2!! 

(Oh, black question mark icon... you shall not be missed.)

(FYI... for replacing things that are not missing, but still need updating, Options > Advanced Options > Workflow Dependencies has you covered too!)
