keep_proportion/extra_padding/invert_crop (ImageTransformKJ) and format
(SaveVideo) were wrapped in a redundant {"field": "value"} dict instead of
the plain string ComfyUI's own DynamicCombo expansion expects at the wire
level -- every one of them silently failed graph validation and fell back
to the node's own default, undermining the "total_pixels" resolution-fit
behavior this preset exists for. Found by loading the preset in a real
browser against real node schemas; the dev server never had comfy_extras
or KJNodes registered before now, so this was invisible locally until
tools/devserver.py also gained real node registration (init_extra_nodes +
KJNodes' load_custom_node, matching what the pytest `registered` fixture
already did).
The two pipeline_preset tests that were supposed to catch this had too
broad a filter -- it excluded ANY "is not one of" message as an assumed
"combo not chosen yet" state, which in this codebase actually shows up as
"needs X and nothing fills it" instead. Tightened to exempt only the three
loader-file combos genuinely left unset on a fresh install.
Verified live: preset loads with zero combo-validation problems, only the
three expected unset-loader-file messages remain, and Generate correctly
refuses with an honest reason rather than a false success.
ComfyUI-FunPack v5 — "Cunning Cranberry"
FunPack v4.0.0 is going to be the latest release of classic FunPack. Next update is another milestone update, or shall I say, a full rework.
Maintenance of current FunPack became a mess — forgetting to add or remove buttons from/to UI, finding functions that don't do anything but still present in the code absolutely randomly, trying to keep the UI neat while it has no strict boundaries on how it should look like, and of course — making it easy for users to understand how FunPack operates and how you can operate it — this is all time, money and token-consuming.
General idea behind the FunPack v5 rework is writing it from scratch, with a new architecture where a feature can't be forgotten, where a wire can't be missed, where one failing module never stops whole process from executing. Loaders and features would tell the UI by themselves what sorts of inputs they need and where to put it — and UI will compose them according to design guidelines it would have. Samplers would become independent from features — if a feature is available and enabled, sampler would call it. If it's not — it gets skipped and doesn't even appear in the UI so it won't confuse you.
Most of this comes from a FunUI backend draft that got shelved after understanding on how much time has to be invested into polishing it. Without a community support and wide usage it would become another dead project only one person in the world needs but no one else.
Come to think of it, FunPack already became something alike, with an exception — this project is more than alive, and while I can, I will support it.
Final goal is to make FunPack an ultimate answer for a novice's question "I don't know how to generate — what do I install and how do I start?" and for a professional's question "I need a UI with all the cutting edge techniques available on day 0 — which one?"
Preparation for the v5 had started.
FunPack v5.0 "Cunning Cranberry" — coming fall 2026.
This branch is a clean start. Classic FunPack lives on main.
