Move (only) Parent Object
Sometimes it happens you need to move (or rotate/scale) a parent object, but you want its children to stay where they are. Currently I'm not aware of any system other than un-parent children, move parent, re-parent children. It could be great if a key modifier (P?) while moving (or scaling/rotating) could do all this automagically.

XSI has a similar feature, that is called "Child Compensation". You can switch it on or off. As long as its aktivated, you can move parent obects (SRT) around without influencing child objects. To have something like that in Blender would be nice for sure!
Good idea. What about double click on the object you'd like to move even maybe on a child?
