ComfyUI Node: JDCN_VHSFileMover

JDCN_VHSFileMover:

The JDCN_VHSFileMover node is designed to facilitate the movement of files, specifically VHS files, from one directory to another. This node is particularly useful for organizing and managing large collections of VHS files by automating the process of transferring them to a specified output directory. One of the key features of this node is its ability to handle file overwriting scenarios, ensuring that files are either replaced or renamed to avoid conflicts. This node simplifies the file management process, making it easier for you to keep your workspace organized and efficient.

JDCN_VHSFileMover Input Parameters:

FileNames

FileNames is a required parameter that expects a list of VHS file names to be moved. This parameter is crucial as it specifies the source files that need to be transferred to the output directory. The input should be in the form of a list containing the file paths of the VHS files.

OutputDirectory

OutputDirectory is a required parameter that specifies the destination directory where the VHS files will be moved. This parameter ensures that all specified files are transferred to the correct location. The default value is "directory path", but you should provide the actual path to the desired output directory.

OverwriteFile

OverwriteFile is a required boolean parameter that determines whether existing files in the output directory should be overwritten. If set to True, any existing files with the same name will be replaced. If set to False, the node will rename the files to avoid overwriting. The default value is False.

JDCN_VHSFileMover Output Parameters:

FilePaths

FilePaths is the output parameter that returns a list of the file paths of the moved VHS files. This output is useful for verifying which files have been successfully transferred and for further processing or organization tasks.

JDCN_VHSFileMover Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the FileNames parameter contains valid paths to the VHS files you want to move to avoid errors during execution.
• Set the OverwriteFile parameter to True if you want to replace existing files in the output directory, or to False if you want to keep both versions by renaming the new files.
• Verify that the OutputDirectory path is correct and accessible to prevent issues with file transfer.

JDCN_VHSFileMover Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: "Folder does not exist."

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified output directory does not exist.
• Solution: Ensure that the OutputDirectory path is correct and that the directory exists. The node will attempt to create the directory if it does not exist.

Error: "Error: [specific error message]"

• Explanation: This error is a general catch-all for any issues that occur during the file moving process, such as permission issues or invalid file paths.
• Solution: Check the specific error message for details. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to read the source files and write to the output directory. Verify that all file paths are correct and accessible.
