ComfyUI Node: 🔶 Merge Folders

🔶 Merge Folders:

The chaosaiart_merge_Folders node is designed to streamline the process of merging multiple folders containing image files into a single output directory. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to consolidate their image assets for further processing or animation creation. By specifying various input paths and handling different image sizes through cropping or resizing, this node ensures that all images are uniformly prepared for subsequent tasks. The node also provides feedback on the merging process, including any issues encountered, making it easier to manage and troubleshoot the merging operation.

🔶 Merge Folders Input Parameters:

Output_Folder

This parameter specifies the name of the output directory where the merged images will be stored. The default value is merge_folders_chaosaiart. This directory will be created if it does not already exist.

if_Size_not_fit

This parameter determines how the node should handle images that do not fit the desired size. The available options are crop and resize. Choosing crop will trim the images to fit, while resize will adjust the dimensions of the images to fit the required size.

path_1

This parameter specifies the first input directory containing images to be merged. It is a required parameter and should be a valid directory path.

path_2

This parameter specifies the second input directory containing images to be merged. It is an optional parameter and should be a valid directory path if provided.

path_3

This parameter specifies the third input directory containing images to be merged. It is an optional parameter and should be a valid directory path if provided.

path_4

This parameter specifies the fourth input directory containing images to be merged. It is an optional parameter and should be a valid directory path if provided.

path_5

This parameter specifies the fifth input directory containing images to be merged. It is an optional parameter and should be a valid directory path if provided.

path_6

This parameter specifies the sixth input directory containing images to be merged. It is an optional parameter and should be a valid directory path if provided.

path_7

This parameter specifies the seventh input directory containing images to be merged. It is an optional parameter and should be a valid directory path if provided.

path_8

This parameter specifies the eighth input directory containing images to be merged. It is an optional parameter and should be a valid directory path if provided.

path_9

This parameter specifies the ninth input directory containing images to be merged. It is an optional parameter and should be a valid directory path if provided.

🔶 Merge Folders Output Parameters:

Info

This output parameter provides information about the merging process, including any errors or issues encountered. It helps in understanding the status and outcome of the operation.

MERGE_FOLDERS

This output parameter returns the path to the directory where the merged images are stored. It is useful for subsequent nodes or processes that need to access the merged images.

🔶 Merge Folders Usage Tips:

• Ensure that all input paths provided are valid directories containing image files to avoid errors during the merging process.
• Use the if_Size_not_fit parameter to handle images of varying sizes appropriately. Choose crop for a uniform look or resize to maintain the entire image content.
• Regularly check the Info output parameter for any issues or errors reported during the merging process to address them promptly.

🔶 Merge Folders Common Errors and Solutions:

Folder not exist: <folder_path>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified input directory does not exist.
• Solution: Verify that the directory path is correct and that the directory exists. Update the path if necessary.

No JPG/PNG in: <folder_path>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified input directory does not contain any JPG or PNG files.
• Solution: Ensure that the directory contains image files in JPG or PNG format. Add the necessary files or choose a different directory.

Could not find ffmpeg

• Explanation: This error occurs when the ffmpeg tool is not installed or not found in the system path.
• Solution: Install ffmpeg and ensure it is accessible from the system path. You can download it from the official website and follow the installation instructions.
