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 save
• Shiift + 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
