JDCN_AnyFileListHelper:

The JDCN_AnyFileListHelper node is designed to assist you in managing and filtering lists of files based on specific criteria. This node is particularly useful when you need to handle large collections of files and want to streamline the process of selecting and organizing them. By providing a set of filtering options, it allows you to refine your file lists according to search terms, file types, and extensions, making it easier to work with the exact files you need for your projects. This node is essential for AI artists who deal with numerous files and require an efficient way to manage their file lists without manually sorting through them.

JDCN_AnyFileListHelper Input Parameters:

List

This parameter takes a list of file paths that you want to filter. It serves as the primary input for the node, and the filtering operations will be performed on this list. The list should contain valid file paths that you wish to manage.

search

This parameter allows you to specify search terms to filter the file list. The node will only retain files that match the given search terms. This is useful for narrowing down the list to files that contain specific keywords or patterns.

filter_by

This parameter lets you choose the criteria for filtering the files. Options include filtering by folder, specific file types, or all files. For example, you can filter by "folder" to only include directories or by specific file extensions to include only certain types of files.

extension

This parameter allows you to specify a particular file extension to filter the list further. If you want to include only files with a specific extension, you can set this parameter accordingly. If set to "*", it will include all file extensions.

JDCN_AnyFileListHelper Usage Tips:

• Use the search parameter to quickly narrow down large lists of files to those that contain specific keywords or patterns.
• Combine the filter_by and extension parameters to create highly specific file lists, such as all image files in a particular directory.
• Ensure that the input list contains valid file paths to avoid errors and ensure accurate filtering results.
