While the models load, an empty picture area says the run is going instead
of asking for a run. With steps on, the last step stays up until the saved
picture has loaded, so it no longer blinks out. Between a tiled upscale's
split and stitch (and for Ultimate SD Upscale) the step pictures are tiles:
the whole picture stays and the chip says "upscaling in tiles".
Watch the picture form one sampling step at a time and stop a run that is
going wrong. Step Preview needs no wires and shows whichever sampler is
working, with Stop and Stop all. Save Image and Save Video get a steps
switch, off by default, that shows the steps where the saved picture goes,
with a Stop button.
A queued workflow that shows its steps asks ComfyUI for the auto preview
method for that run, only when no method was chosen in the frontend or on
the command line.
A list of pictures runs these nodes once per picture, and the panels
only showed one of them (#204). Arrows (2 / 5) now appear on the node
when a run brings more than one picture: Compare steps through its
pairs, A and B together, and Erase saves the pair on screen. The shared
preview panel gets the same arrows, so Save Image, Mask Refine, Mask by
Name, LaMa Inpaint and Select Frame step through their results. A node
too narrow for the arrows widens to fit while they show.
Found in a sweep of the pack against ComfyUI's own nodes: things the normal
node does that the pack's node did not.
- Every number box takes a sum. Click a number, type 1024*1.5 or
(1920-64)/2 and press Enter, as in ComfyUI's own number boxes: + - * / %,
brackets and a sign. The reader is the pack's own (sumValue in
js/shared/scrub_input.mjs) and is only asked when the text is not a plain
number.
- Show Text takes any wire. Its input was STRING only. A number, an on/off
value or a list is shown too; a picture or a latent is shown by its size.
The output stays STRING and carries the text that is shown, so text
passes through unchanged and a number comes out as text.
- Save Image takes name tokens in the file name, as ComfyUI's own Save
Image does: %date:yyyy-MM-dd% and %Node.setting% are filled in the
browser when a run is sent (js/shared/name_tokens.mjs, now shared with
Save Video), %width% %height% and the time tokens on the server. The
path preview shows them. A linked filename is never read for tokens.
- Ctrl + Up and Ctrl + Down change a word's weight in the pack's prompt
boxes (Text, Krea 2 Encode). The card's text box stopped the key before
ComfyUI's own listener saw it; those two keys now go on from a multiline
box, and from nowhere else.
- Image Size shows what it measured beside its outputs after a run
("width: 1024"). The numbers go into the output labels, so the node keeps
its size. ComfyUI says nothing about a node whose answer came from its
cache, so the numbers are kept in the node's properties and come back
when a workflow is opened again; a changed picture wire clears them.
No input was added, renamed or reordered. Help pages, README lines, tests
and CHANGELOG entries are included.
32 of the ? help pages checked against the code and corrected.
Wrong claims fixed: Stitch Inpaint's empty-area check (20/255), what a
new video keeps on both Video Crop + Rotate + Pad pages, Load Video's
frame picker and player height, where Run Timer lists earlier runs,
inpainting on the Krea 2 Outpaint Model Patch page, Workflow Note's
banner layout and pack detection, Image Resize's pad bars and mask,
Save Image's path preview and tags, Free Memory's steps, and Latent
Size's sockets.
Image Crop + Rotate + Pad now follows the node from top to bottom; the
saved values no row shows moved under Technical details.
Controls are named the way the node shows them, with the input name
beside. Pages that opened with jargon now open with what the node does
and when to use it. LoRA Loader gained the Civitai lookup, suggested
strength and the gear options it did not name.
The help pages, the README and the changelog use the new names (Round
canvas to, Frames for, Server file, the Resize switch) and describe the
always-scrubbing timeline and its grip, the padlock rules, the "already
this shape" note, the resize warning and Even out, the preview switch
bringing its picture back, Compare's labels and the Workflow Note's Use it.
Save Image joins the shared input_preview panel with the PREVIEW switch,
backed by a new optional preview input (display only: the file is saved
and listed in the queue either way). The embed row reads
Embed workflow: no | yes.
Help pages named the raw widget (divisible_by, max_frames, color_match)
where the card shows a label (Multiple, Limit, Tone match), so a reader
could not find the control. Each such control now reads as the visible
label with the widget name beside it, and option values show the text
on the segment (match a, hist, cover, guided).
- New node: Save Image - PNG or lossless JPEG XL (optional
pillow-jxl-plugin, the pack's new jxl extra), workflow embedding on or
off (honoring --disable-metadata), an exact_name mode that saves under
exactly that filename with no counter suffix, overwrite/skip/error
collision policy, output_dir up to absolute dataset paths, a caption
.txt sidecar sharing the basename, file_path and IMAGE passthrough
outputs, and always-re-run semantics so a deleted file re-saves.
- Image Resize now only invents pixels on an explicit width+height pad
request: scale-derived modes resolve divisible_by snaps with a
sub-half-step resize instead of padding a sliver; the tour workflow
switched to an explicit 512x512 letterbox so its mask lane demonstrates
real bars.
- Registry-facing metadata: the description now names every node family
(Manager search matches against it) and the keyword list grew to match.
- Release 1.2.0: version bump, frontend version constant synced,
changelog dated, and a publish workflow (Comfy-Org/publish-node-action)
that releases to the registry whenever pyproject.toml changes on main.
