I've found myself a few times recently wanting to disable/enable all the nodes in a group

Could this be added to the nice to have list please? 🙂

On the right-click group context menu 🙂

You can do it: Right click on the group, select Node and Disable Selected Nodes.  
(NR 3.1)

Aah - never occurred to me to look there - ta for info 🙂

I think it'd be nice to have it on the group as well 🙂

It wasn't where I first looked either but it sort of makes sense - each node gets disabled.  
A group doesn't really have any properties to disable?

You can also select the nodes to disable and run the "Disable selected nodes" action
