Multi Scheduled LoRA Loader

1. Connection & Setup (Required)

This node outputs HOOKS, which must be applied to your CLIP model using ComfyUI's internal hook system.

Steps:

1. Add a Set CLIP Hooks node to your workflow.
2. Connect your source CLIP (e.g., from Load Checkpoint) to the clip input.
3. Connect the HOOKS output from the Multi Scheduled LoRA Loader to the hooks input.
4. Connect the resulting CLIP output to your CLIP Text Encode (Prompt) nodes.

> Note: If you are not using a CLIP encoder, you can utilize the HOOKS output with any compatible model patcher that accepts hooks.

2. Configuration (Important)

To ensure your curves actually affect the generation, you must configure the Set CLIP Hooks node correctly:

• apply_to_conds (on Set CLIP Hooks): Must be True. This enables the Model strength scheduling.
• schedule_clip (on Set CLIP Hooks): Set to True if you want the CLIP strength to change over time. If False, it may ignore the CLIP curve or use a static value.

3. Using the Curve Editor

1. Click "Open Multi-LoRA Editor" to launch the visual interface.
2. Add LoRAs: Add as many LoRAs as needed; the editor handles them in a unified timeline.
3. Draw Curves:
   • Left Click: Add keyframe / Drag point.
   • Double Click: Add keyframe.
   • Right Click / Drag: Pan the view.
   • Shift + Drag: Toggle snapping (default is snap-to-grid).
4. Model vs CLIP: The curve represents both strengths visually, but you can set independent values in the sidebar.
5. History: Use Undo/Redo (Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y) or the History button to revert changes.

4. Advanced: External String Syntax

If you prefer to bypass the visual editor or generate schedules programmatically, you can input a string into the schedule_string input.

Format:

<lora:filename.safetensors:model_strength:clip_strength:keyframe_data>

Examples:

• Simple (Static): <lora:my_style.safetensors:0.8:1.0>
• With Keyframes: <lora:my_style.safetensors:1.0:1.0:0.0,0.0;0.5,1.0;1.0,0.0>
  • Format: percent,strength;percent,strength

> Note: If a valid string is detected in schedule_string and the internal editor has no active LoRAs, the node switches to External Mode and ignores the internal editor configuration. Otherwise it will prompt you to optionally import the schedule.

5. Troubleshooting

• Gray/Empty output image:
  • Ensure schedule_clip is True on the Set CLIP Hooks node.
  • Ensure you have at least one active LoRA.
  • Check if your curves are set to 0 strength for the entire duration.
• Import overwrote the schedule: If you connect an external string, the node may ask to import it. You can Undo (Ctrl+Z) inside the editor if you accidentally overwrite your work.

Visual Prompt Gallery (EXIF)

A visual container for your prompt inspiration.

How it works:

1. Drag & Drop: Drag images from your computer onto the gallery area.
2. Storage: Images are saved to ComfyUI/input/visual_gallery/.
3. Load Prompts: Left-Click an image to select it and run workflow to instantly populate the positive_prompt and negative_prompt outputs with metadata extracted from the image.
4. Context Menu: Right-Click an image to:
   • View Fullscreen.
   • Remove the image from the gallery.
