Settings > Saved & Temp Files now has two tabs. Saved lists what ComfyUI wrote to its output folder; Temp is the old list. Click a file to look at it, open it in a tab, or delete it after a question. Delete only removes media files inside the chosen folder.

Fifth off the port list. ComfyUI writes previews and other transient outputs to
a temp directory and wipes it on restart, so everything in there is findable
for exactly as long as the server has been up -- which is the window in which
anyone asks where something went.
Read-only on purpose. This is a place to FIND a file, not to manage one;
deleting temp files is ComfyUI's job and it does it on restart.
Rows rather than tiles, which is the opposite of the bin and for the opposite
reason: a row shows the whole name, the size and when it was written, and the
grid draws none of those. Only media is listed -- a temp directory fills with
whatever any node felt like writing, and a browser listing 400 .pt files is not
a media bin. No <video> thumbnails, which wedged this app's API once already.
Three empty states, because they are three different facts: nothing was written
yet, the directory was wiped, and ComfyUI is not here to ask. An empty list
reads as the first one whichever is true.
One test taught me something about this environment again: opening a file puts
it in the Preview, the dev server has no /view, so the picture 404s and the kit
replaces it with its fallback -- correctly, and leaving nothing in the DOM to
assert on. What the viewer FETCHES is the evidence, so the test reads the
request rather than the picture.
