Node Group Presets
What is NodeGroupPresets?
NodeGroupPresets is an addon that saves the current values of a given nodegroup into a applyable/editable/copyable preset. Quite useful when building a verstaile node library taking away the bothersome workflow of either copy/pasting multiple values from different instances of a nodegroup or "hardcoding" presets into it's own nodegroups.
Features
The main features of this addon are:
- Save/Apply presets
- Update presets with current status
- Edit presets, add/removing sockets or changing its name/value
- Copy/Past presets from different nodes or files
Save/Apply Preset
Saves supported sockets values/subtype/max&min limits.
Single click: Full saveShiift + Click: Partial save
Update Preset
Update values with the node's current values If socket order changes, you can update the preset order with it
Edit Preset
Change values
Change socket values, name from the active preset
Add/Remove sockets
Add or remove sockets from the active preset. Adding has the same Non-shift`Shift` behaviour when saving presets
Copy/Paste Preset to/from clipboard
You can copy/paste presets from different nodegroups, even if they are in different files! Under the hood it copies a JSON dictionary to the clipboard.
Caveats
Unique Path [panel name + socket name]
It will only work properly if all socket paths (panel name + socket name) are unique. Meaning, sockets can have the same name as long as they are not in the same panel (base level included).
Same socket type
If socket name changes to a non convertable type, it will ignore it. To make it work again, remove said socket and add it back (update not resolving it automatically seems like a safer option)
Supported Sockets:
- Bool
- Color
- Float
- Int
- Rotation
- String
- Vector

Notable Changes:
- Added support to applying the same preset to multiple instances of the same group (press
Altwhen clicking the preset button, even if you chose to use partial mode).
Simply awesome!!! Is it possible to apply a preset to multiple node groups at once? When multiple node groups selected, the preset only applies to an active node group.
