ComfyUI Node: Subdirectory Selector

Subdirectory Selector:

The JNodes_SubdirectorySelector node is designed to help you navigate and select specific subdirectories within a given root directory. This node is particularly useful when you need to organize and manage files within a complex directory structure, allowing you to specify a new subdirectory path based on a root directory. By using this node, you can streamline the process of directory management, making it easier to handle large sets of files and directories in your AI art projects.

Subdirectory Selector Input Parameters:

root_directory

The root_directory parameter specifies the base directory from which you want to select or create a subdirectory. This parameter is essential as it defines the starting point for your directory operations. The value should be a string representing the path to the root directory. There is no default value, so you need to provide this path explicitly. The input should be a single-line string.

new_directory

The new_directory parameter allows you to specify the name or path of the new subdirectory you want to create or select within the root_directory. This parameter is crucial for defining the target subdirectory for your operations. The value should be a string representing the name or relative path of the subdirectory. The default value is an empty string, and the input can be a multi-line string to accommodate longer paths.

Subdirectory Selector Output Parameters:

out_path

The out_path output parameter provides the resulting path of the selected or created subdirectory. This output is a string representing the full path to the subdirectory based on the provided root_directory and new_directory inputs. It is essential for subsequent operations that require the specific subdirectory path.

Subdirectory Selector Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the root_directory path is correctly specified and accessible to avoid errors related to non-existent directories.
• Use the new_directory parameter to create nested subdirectories by providing relative paths, such as subdir1/subdir2.
• Validate the resulting out_path to confirm that the subdirectory exists and is correctly formed before using it in further operations.

Subdirectory Selector Common Errors and Solutions:

Directory not found

• Explanation: The specified root_directory does not exist or is not accessible.
• Solution: Verify the path to the root_directory and ensure it is correct and accessible.

Invalid subdirectory path

• Explanation: The new_directory parameter contains invalid characters or an incorrect path format.
• Solution: Check the new_directory value for any typos or invalid characters and ensure it follows the correct path format.

Permission denied

• Explanation: The application does not have the necessary permissions to access or create directories in the specified path.
• Solution: Ensure that the application has the required permissions to read from and write to the specified directories. Adjust the permissions if necessary.
