Keeps your nodes from drifting into the void of the infinite canvas

What can it do? (About):

It's an addon that keeps your nodes centered around (0,0) automatically everytime you save or load a file! I don't know why that isn't default behavior, but now this addon exists luckily. I also added some extra feature thingies:

-If you have a node editor open, the viewport there will automatically pan together with the nodes, so they stay at the same place from your perspective and your workflow isn't interrupted!

-The nodes keep their offset to the underlying grid (It doesn't look like it because the grid you see in the editor is bigger than the actual snapping grid.), so if you snapped your nodes to the grid, they will keep that alignment.

Versions and compatibility

You need Blender 4.2 or higher to install extensions. All operating systems are supported.

You can also download this addon as a zip file and install it like usual with lower versions, as it was tested with 3.6 - any version below or higher is not tested but will probably still work.

Blender versions

The addon was tested with the following blender versions:

• 3.6
• 4.2
• 4.3
• 4.4

Custom blender forks probably work, I just didn't test them.
