[Feature request] on load of dataflow: centre nodes or automatically zoom to fit

If for some reason, a dataflow has a lot of nodes and they are not in the centre, or they are saved way off the centre of the canvas, each time someone re-loads a dataflow, they are presented with an empty canvas which can be confusing and annoying each time they open the dataflow having to drag around or zoom out to find where all the nodes are in the dataflow if the canvas looks empty on loading or always have to click the zoom to fit button in the lower right of the canvas, which is very repetitive.

A nice way to fix this could be to allow the user to select all nodes and centre them to the centre of the canvas and re-save the dataflow. Alternatively prior to saving the dataflow, the canvas can select all nodes and move the nodes to the centre of the canvas (meaning a zoom to fit would not needed the next time someone loads the dataflow).

  Thanks for your suggested feature enhancement. I have passed it to the team for consideration.
