Utility nodes to get directories right in ComfyUI. Ever want to select a random directory and loop bulk queue more than the number of files available automatically reverting to 0 index after they were all done? So did I!
To create this custom node pack, I uploaded the sparse ComfyUI documentation, a few custom node sources, and app js source code to an OpenAi GPTs ComfyUI Craftsman, this GPTs is good at answering questions and offering guidance based on real ComfyUI implementations.
Tkinker is required, launching this custom node will attempt to install automatically. If this fails, the Directory Picker will not work properly. See TKinker Installation
Search Dirgir in Comfy Manager!
cd Your_ComfyUI_Path/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/AshMartian/ComfyUI-DirGirThen restart ComfyUI
| Node | Description |
|---|---|
GIR Directory Picker |
"Select Directory" opens a GUI file browser using tkinker, the selected directory is persistent on disk (server restarts are no problem!), and available via output string. Changing the Selected Directory manually is supported too. |
GIR Loopy Dir |
Directory in, automatic loopy-ness out. Auto-increment and auto resetting, when the loop_index reaches the end of filtered files in directory, goes back to zero. Filter by extension or regex, manually change loop_index to override! Note: When queuing, the loop_index will increment in real time, queuing over the number of files available is no problem, the loop_index will tell you what index is next as the queue progresses. |
GIR Image Nabber  |
A simple path to image node, for working with results of Loopy Dir without relying on an external node pack that has it's own directory filtering logic (For videos, use VHS Load Video (Path)) |
GIR Happy Dance!*  |
These nodes simplify and streamline the process of directory selection and iteration, making complex tasks feel like a breeze. With the ability to effortlessly pick directories and loop through files with smart reset capabilities, GIR is over the moon, knowing users can focus on creativity and productivity, leaving the tedious parts to the automation magic of ComfyUI DirGir. |
Get It Right Directory Picker (Tested on MacOS** and Windows)
A simple workflow using both nodes
- GIR Dir Picker outputting a directory to both
GIR Loopy DirandLoadImagesFromPath - GIR Loopy Dir configured to filter for file extensions of png, outputs 11 matching files
- current_index connected to
LoadImagesFromPath - As the queue is prompted, new images load
- As the queue goes beyond the file_count, loop_index is reset automatically.
Regex Usage
- The problem with using
LoadImagesFromPathis it's own built in directory filtering and index logic. GIR Loopy Dir will output filtered indexes that don't always align (especially with regex). - Using
GIR Image Nabberwe can reliably load images from a direct path.
*GIR Happy dance is not a real node, open an Issue to request it!
**MacOS Works great on first directory selection, but on subsequent selections the directory browser is behind web browser. Not an issue on Windows.
