Geometry Nodes User Library Addon for Blender
A simple script addon for Blender 3.1+ to access your personal Geometry nodes presets, from the Add menu. It includes several library paths and categories settings in the addon preferences panel. "Quick access to your geometry nodegroups using the shortcut MAJ+A", located on top of your geometry node editor area.
Acknowledgments
If you are using the node-presets.py addon, you may have found out that it includes all types of nodes in only one single category. The asset manager is a cool option too, but as it doesnt require a parent object, an image preview or any tags, why not getting our favorite geometry node presets directly from the Geometry nodes editor itself?! ;)

You can add your own .blend files containing your own nodegroups in the folders, OR using the addon settings, change the path to your already made libraries. These are the 3 types of geometry nodegroups, included by default:
- GENERATORS: New commonshapes, including mesh, surves,etc...
