ComfyUI Node: JDCN_ReBatch

JDCN_ReBatch:

The JDCN_ReBatch node is designed to help you efficiently manage and organize large lists of file names by splitting them into smaller, more manageable batches. This node is particularly useful when dealing with extensive datasets or collections of files, allowing you to process them in chunks rather than all at once. By specifying the desired batch size, you can control the number of items in each batch, making it easier to handle and process the data. Additionally, the node offers an option to convert these batches into a string format, which can be useful for logging, debugging, or further processing. Overall, JDCN_ReBatch simplifies the task of managing large lists, enhancing your workflow efficiency and organization.

JDCN_ReBatch Input Parameters:

FileNames

This parameter expects a list of file names that you want to split into batches. It is a required input, and you must provide a non-empty list for the node to function correctly. The list can contain any number of file names, and the node will process them based on the specified batch size.

BatchSize

This parameter determines the number of items in each batch. It is an integer value with a default of 1, a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 9999. By adjusting the batch size, you can control how many file names are grouped together in each batch, allowing for flexible and efficient data management.

TextList

This boolean parameter specifies whether the batches should be converted into a string format. The default value is False. When set to True, each batch will be represented as a string, with file names separated by newline characters. This can be useful for logging or further text-based processing.

JDCN_ReBatch Output Parameters:

FilePaths

This output parameter provides the resulting batches of file names. Depending on the TextList input parameter, the output can be either a list of lists (each containing file names) or a list of strings (each representing a batch of file names). This output allows you to easily access and process the organized batches of file names.

JDCN_ReBatch Usage Tips:

• To efficiently manage large datasets, adjust the BatchSize parameter to a value that suits your processing capabilities. Smaller batch sizes can help prevent memory overload and improve processing speed.
• Use the TextList parameter set to True if you need to log or display the batches in a readable format. This can be particularly useful for debugging or monitoring the batching process.
• Ensure that the FileNames input list is not empty to avoid errors and ensure smooth operation of the node.

JDCN_ReBatch Common Errors and Solutions:

Empty FileName

• Explanation: This error occurs when the FileNames input list is empty.
• Solution: Ensure that you provide a non-empty list of file names as input to the node. Double-check the source of your file names to confirm that it is correctly populated.

Invalid BatchSize

• Explanation: This error occurs when the BatchSize parameter is set to a value less than 1 or greater than 9999. - Solution: Adjust the BatchSize parameter to a valid integer value within the specified range (1 to 9999). This ensures that the node can correctly split the file names into batches.

TextList Conversion Issue

• Explanation: This error occurs if there is an issue converting the batches to string format when TextList is set to True.
• Solution: Verify that the FileNames input list contains valid strings and that the TextList parameter is correctly set. If the issue persists, check for any special characters or formatting issues in the file names that might be causing the conversion problem.
