Save a Node Template with a Group

[JorgeR81]

Is there a way to save and load a node template, with a group included ?

Thanks

Men I want this so bad, another good feature will be to move a master group and all other container group inside; wen you have a group inside another it only move the selected group and not the other inside.

组目前也只能一个一个的移动，不能像节点可以一起移动

In this workflow I organized everything by groups look what happen if I move the master group

Comfyui.Group.move.mp4

Yes, that would be nice,
Especially because you can't just move the small groups back into place.
The groups start to push the nodes as soon as they make contact ...

But on a side note, 
I see that you're using the Fast Groups Bypasser (rgthree) with cg-use-everywhere.
Is that working for you ? 
When I use the rgthree node to bypass a group, the UE wires don't seem to update.

Yes is working

It stop working wen you have two use-everywhere node with the same node for example two vae loader it stop working

[JorgeR81]

OK, thanks.
I tried this again and it worked !

The problem is that the UE visualizations are not refreshed, when an rgtree node is used, to bypass/mute a node/group.

show image ( groups )

show image ( nodes )

I need to move or left click on a node, for this to update. 
But when I bypass or mute via right click, it shows immediately.

I think I will open an issue for rgthree or cg-use-everywhere, to see if this can be polished. 

These template / group improvements, plus with these customs nodes, it would be a powerful combination !

[kakachiex2]

your right

[JorgeR81]

I've just found that there is an issue and a pull request to add this feature.

I guess I will keep this open, to help people find these, via the discussion search.

Or if someone knows about a workaround with custom nodes, until this it's implemented in Comfy UI

#1912

#2774

nice

I've just found a workaround with [ aegisflow_utility_nodes ].
It creates a new group when you load a template.

It also has other functions that complement [ cg-use-everywhere ].
The "pass" nodes allow me to bypass nodes without breaking the UE links.
