It is just consuming more memory and is less stable, isn’t it so?
How would you make it static, and at the same time possible to search/filter/manipulate it as at can today?

I’m no graph-theorist, but I imagine it would be nearly impossible to have some deterministic layout that doesn’t change, but also adapts to new content, links, etc.
Can you think of any examples of graphs of growing and changing data that is not dynamic, and somehow keeps a stable view? (Maybe it exists. I’m not aware.)
And also bear in mind that there is no hierarchy or enforced directed-acyclic flow to the graph. So that means a note can link in both directions, or in a loop, or in a tight interconnected web. So then it becomes even less possible to deterministically lay that out.
Microsoft OneDrive that all are calculations I would guess. On costs of performance.
The thing is, that I personally mostly use the same graph view again and again. I am not a programmer, so what I am saying is general bad knowledge but I mean with that post, that after a lot of files, it can bug a little bit. So after it had rendered I don’t need it anymore, that the marbles can move. I basically need a vector graphic so that I can zoom in without quality loss and I need links so that I can easily jump to the specific files, I guess.
Yes maybe I use the feature for non common use cases. But I think the graph view is underrated. I wanna use it for automatically, good looking created views of my content. I use it for studying, and to visualize complex problems. But currently the graph view is not flexible enough for me.
I wanna have a other way of sizing the marbles, I wanna some times show the arrow in the other direction, I want that the marbles always stay in the same area (so that I can always navigate to a specific marble, I don’t wanna always search for a marble again and again)
I use persistent graph (its not working anymore because it have bugs and is not seems supported anymore) so that the graph view is staying the same and extended graph view (which have integrated some cool features (like placing pictures in a marble, different shapes of marbles, different directions of arrow(but just global) or a normale and non transparent arrow and also a function to move the text field little bit down or a background for text field and a search function) but because of using proxy’s, it is consuming a lot of energy, told me the programmer and it have some bugs.
Currently I looking for a way of exporting the graph.
Related to the problem of sorting: Maybe the experience could look like: choosing settings and just after that, pressing enter and starting the rendering. But I think thats not that fashionable. But if you are a person who not need the flexibility, you could gain fps if there would be a manual or automatic switch which is changing the way of rendering.
Maybe the feature is loading to much informations in the background, instead of loading it more smart, just in case of need.
