Load Any File

(ComfyUI workflow included)

Loads any text or binary file and provides the file content as string or base64 string. Additionally tries to load it as a IMAGE. And also tries to load any metadata.

filepath supports ComfyUI's annotated filepaths [input] [output] or [temp]. filepath also support glob-pattern expansions subdir/**/*.png. Internally uses python's glob.iglob.

metadata calls exiftool, if it's installed and available at PATH, otherwise uses PIL.Image.info as a fallback.

If you need more control over the paths use it together with Path OutputList.

For security reason only the following directories are supported: [input] [output] [temp]. For performance reasons the number of files are limited to: 1024.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
filepath	STRING	Base directory defaults to [input] user-directory. Supports glob-pattern expansion subdir/**/*.png. Use suffix [input] [output] or [temp] (mind the leading whitespace!) to specify a different ComfyUI user-directory.
_extra	STRING	(optional) try to load additional file from string (plaintext or base64)

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
content	STRING 𝌠	File content for text files, base64 for binary files.
image	IMAGE 𝌠	Image batch tensor.
mask	MASK 𝌠	Mask batch tensor.
metadata	STRING 𝌠	Exif data from ExifTool. Requires exiftool command to be available in PATH.
