[Feature Request]: Please bring back previous node pinning behaviour or give an option for it

Is there an existing issue for this?

What would your feature do ?

It used to be like this: Pinning a node would disable it's movement by dragging, but if it was inside a group it could move with the group while still being immovable by dragging itself. Please bring back that behavior or at least give an option for it. My ComfyUI version is 0.3.38 and comfyui_frontend version is 1.20.7.

FYI, multiple users complained about this behaviour (iirc, it was a bug). So far you are the first that I'm aware of to request it back, but that said, if there -is- sufficient community support for this, we can create a setting for it.

Sorry, didn't know that. It just seemed logical and intuitive to me that a node inside a group, whether pinned or not, should move with the group while still being immovable by itself when pinned. But it's okay if people are finding it annoying. Thanks for considering giving an option for it based on demand.

Honestly I agree. But groups in general could really use a revamp! When groups feel more .. groupy, the pin change will feel more intuitive to people, I believe.

groups feel more .. groupy

You are absolutely right. Since there is a hierarchy of groups, there needs to be a way to manage the order in the hierarchy, either automatically by the set sizes or manually in a pop-up stack of names, like in Blender. Pins are just a special case of this situation, like the aforementioned #5076.
