This is a fantastic project that has solved many of my problems.
I have another question to ask. ComfyUI supports adding additional paths for custom nodes in extra_model_paths.yaml
extra_model_paths.yaml.example#L42.

I imported a node through this method, and it is functional. (As you can see, the"Comfyui-Manager" and "Comfyui-Impact-Pack" are in custom_nodes folder, and the "ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite" is in custom_nodes2 folder)

But in the ComfyUI Manager, it is in an uninstalled state.

@ltdrdata commented on GitHub (Jan 24, 2024):

Currently, in ComfyUI-Manager, due to various complex situation issues, support for external custom node paths through extra_model_paths.yaml is not available.
This calls for some careful consideration and contemplation.

Moreover, even if the Manager supports this approach, scripts like install.py that accompany custom nodes operate outside of ComfyUI. As a result, there is a high likelihood of improper identification of the custom_nodes' path, potentially causing some custom nodes to not function properly.

Indeed, I did some research on the code related to custom_nodes in both comfyui and comfyui-manager. It is indeed a very complex and extensive task, which may involve many extension developers.

In some extensions I use, the import statements are like this: import custom_node.xxxx, causing nodes added through extra files to throw exceptions.
