ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI Thumbnails

ComfyUI Thumbnails Introduction

ComfyUI-Thumbnails is an extension designed to enhance your experience with ComfyUI by providing a convenient way to load, view, and manage image thumbnails. This extension allows you to easily browse through images, view thumbnails, and manage your image files directly within the ComfyUI interface. Whether you're an AI artist looking to streamline your workflow or simply want a more organized way to handle your images, ComfyUI-Thumbnails offers a user-friendly solution.

How ComfyUI Thumbnails Works

ComfyUI-Thumbnails works by integrating with ComfyUI to display image thumbnails in a visually appealing and organized manner. When you load images into ComfyUI, the extension generates thumbnails that are displayed in a grid layout. This makes it easier to quickly identify and select the images you need. The thumbnails are "lazy loaded," meaning they are only loaded when they come into view, which helps to improve performance and reduce loading times.

Imagine you have a large collection of images stored in different folders. Without thumbnails, you would need to open each image individually to see what it looks like. ComfyUI-Thumbnails solves this problem by showing you a small preview (thumbnail) of each image, so you can quickly find the one you're looking for without opening each file.

ComfyUI Thumbnails Features

ComfyUI-Thumbnails comes with several features designed to make managing your images easier and more efficient:

• Show File Names: This option allows you to display or hide the file names of the images. By default, this is set to False, meaning file names are hidden. You can enable it if you prefer to see the names of your files along with the thumbnails.
• Show Thumbnails: This feature is enabled by default and displays the thumbnails of your images. If you disable it, only the file names will be shown (if the "Show File Names" option is enabled).
• Thumbnails Size: You can customize the size of the thumbnails. The default size is set to 100 pixels. Adjusting the size can help you see more detail in the thumbnails or fit more thumbnails on the screen at once.

Thumbnails are displayed with a maximum height, creating a masonry-like layout that looks visually appealing and helps you quickly browse through your images.

ComfyUI Thumbnails Models

Currently, ComfyUI-Thumbnails does not include different models. The extension focuses on providing a consistent and efficient way to manage image thumbnails within ComfyUI.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI Thumbnails

Here are some common issues you might encounter while using ComfyUI-Thumbnails and how to resolve them:

• Thumbnails Not Loading: If thumbnails are not loading when you switch/select from an Empty Latent Image preset, try selecting the Load Image node first or clicking the dropdown a second time. This issue occurs because the event carrying the current node does not propagate immediately.
• Images Not Deleting: Ensure you are using the correct API name /customnode/deleteImage to delete images. If the issue persists, check for any updates or bug fixes in the latest release.
