[Feature request] Devs can update node names #872

Open theUpsider opened 1 month ago

theUpsider commented 1 month ago

The Problem

I have an issue with my repository, since the naming of the nodes in comfy must be unique. I updated the naming to include an emoji, since i thought that would be pretty rare. Now all users have to re-add their nodes and https://github.com/theUpsider/ComfyUI-Logic/issues/13 this issue arrises as well. Other packages using my nodes cant use them either.

The feature

I would love to have an option for renaming nodes in the manager as a dev. So that with the next update, the nodes naming is changed without affecting workflows. Maybe use some unique identifier instead of the name or sth.

I have an idea, but since this is a somewhat risky feature, it might be better to provide it as a separate custom node rather than as part of the Manager.

@ltdrdata do you mean I should add my nodes twice?

Maybe a deprecated feature would be useful! To indicate that newer nodes are available and the current ones will not be supported long term.

If you want to patch node properteis without breaking workflows you can do it like this: https://gist.github.com/christian-byrne/4a74bedda6e798e00f1dacee7f39afa4

@christian-byrne Maybe an enduser friendly way of doing this would be awesome.
