Is there a shortcut or something to quickly switch the display flag between two or more COP nodes?

Currently Houdini offers a feature to compare two COP nodes' outputs side by side:



But I think it's still a bit inconvenient when the difference is very subtle. Ideally I'd like to have a draggable slider between, or switch the display flag between two nodes quickly.

Is it possible?

use the diffing tool and template flag to compare with different methods like wipe or blend.

Could you elaborate a bit? What's diffing tool? You mean Diff COP node?

And template flag in COP context is quite confusing to me. When I turn it on it seems to do the exact same thing display flag...?

right click the viewer and select Diff...
Then the top ui will change to the diff ui, the same as in mplay and the render view. The menu at the top can select with which image to compare.

Edit:
It looks like it's broken in H20. In 19.5 it looks like this:

Thank you very much. It works in H20 for me too, but a little awkwardly: the display flag somehow moves along with the template flag (???)

Yeah, that's why it's broken. It's not supposed to. It takes a bunch of clicking around to get the diff to show since the wrong flag moves.
