ComfyUI Node: JDCN_BatchLatentLoadFromDir

JDCN_BatchLatentLoadFromDir:

The JDCN_BatchLatentLoadFromDir node is designed to streamline the process of loading multiple latent files from a specified directory. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who work with large datasets of latent files and need an efficient way to batch load these files for further processing. By specifying a directory, a load capacity, and an optional frame skip, you can quickly and easily load a subset of latent files, making your workflow more efficient and organized. This node helps in managing large volumes of data by allowing you to control the number of files loaded and skip unnecessary frames, thus optimizing your data handling process.

JDCN_BatchLatentLoadFromDir Input Parameters:

Directory

This parameter specifies the path to the directory containing the latent files you wish to load. It is a string input where you need to provide the full path to the directory. The default value is directory path. This parameter is crucial as it directs the node to the location of your latent files.

Load_Cap

This integer parameter defines the maximum number of latent files to load from the specified directory. The default value is 1, with a minimum value of 1 and a maximum value of 9999. Adjusting this parameter allows you to control the batch size of latent files being processed, which can be useful for managing memory usage and processing time.

Skip_Frame

This integer parameter determines the number of frames to skip before starting to load the latent files. The default value is 0, with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 9999. This parameter is useful if you want to bypass a certain number of initial files in the directory, allowing you to focus on a specific subset of your data.

JDCN_BatchLatentLoadFromDir Output Parameters:

Latent

This output provides the loaded latent files in a format that can be used for further processing. It is a list of latent data structures, each containing the latent tensor data.

Latent_Names

This output is a list of the names of the loaded latent files. It helps in identifying and keeping track of the specific files that have been loaded.

Latent_Paths

This output is a list of the full paths to the loaded latent files. It is useful for referencing the exact location of each file on your system.

Load_Cap

This output returns the value of the Load_Cap parameter used during the execution. It helps in verifying the number of files that were intended to be loaded.

Skip_Frame

This output returns the value of the Skip_Frame parameter used during the execution. It helps in verifying the number of frames that were skipped before loading the files.

Count

This output provides the total number of latent files that were successfully loaded. It is an integer value that helps in understanding the volume of data processed.

JDCN_BatchLatentLoadFromDir Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the directory path provided in the Directory parameter is correct and accessible to avoid file not found errors.
• Adjust the Load_Cap parameter based on your system's memory capacity to prevent overloading and ensure smooth processing.
• Use the Skip_Frame parameter to skip over any initial files that are not needed, which can save time and resources.

JDCN_BatchLatentLoadFromDir Common Errors and Solutions:

Error loading latent from file <file_path>: <error_message>

• Explanation: This error occurs when there is an issue with loading a specific latent file, possibly due to file corruption or incompatible format.
• Solution: Verify the integrity and format of the latent files in the specified directory. Ensure that the files are not corrupted and are in the correct format expected by the node.

Error: <error_message>

• Explanation: This is a general error message that can occur due to various reasons such as incorrect directory path, insufficient permissions, or issues with the file reading process.
• Solution: Check the directory path for accuracy, ensure you have the necessary permissions to access the directory, and verify that the files are readable. If the problem persists, review the error message for more specific details and address the underlying issue.
