ComfyUI Node: Load Image without Listing Input Dir

Load Image without Listing Input Dir:

The LoadImageWithoutListDir node is designed to load an image without the need to list the contents of a directory. This node is particularly useful when you want to upload an image directly without navigating through a directory structure. It simplifies the process of loading images by allowing you to upload an image file directly, making it more efficient and user-friendly. Additionally, it includes an optional switch to enable or disable the image loading process, providing flexibility in workflows where conditional image loading is required.

Load Image without Listing Input Dir Input Parameters:

image

This parameter allows you to upload the image file you wish to load. The image upload feature is enabled, making it easy to select and upload an image directly from your local storage. This parameter is required for the node to function.

enabled

This optional parameter is a boolean switch that controls whether the image loading process is enabled or disabled. When set to True (default), the image loading process is active. When set to False, the node will not load the image and will return None for the image and mask outputs. This parameter provides flexibility in workflows where conditional image loading is necessary. The default value is True, with labels "enabled" and "disabled" for the True and False states, respectively.

Load Image without Listing Input Dir Output Parameters:

image

This output parameter returns the loaded image if the enabled parameter is set to True. If enabled is False, this parameter will return None. The image output is essential for further processing or manipulation in your workflow.

mask

This output parameter returns the mask associated with the loaded image if the enabled parameter is set to True. If enabled is False, this parameter will return None. The mask can be used for various image processing tasks, such as segmentation or masking.

enabled

This output parameter returns the boolean value of the enabled input parameter. It indicates whether the image loading process was active or not, providing a way to track the state of the node's execution.

filename

This output parameter returns the filename of the uploaded image. It is useful for keeping track of the source image file, especially in workflows that involve multiple images or require logging and documentation.

Load Image without Listing Input Dir Usage Tips:

• Use the enabled parameter to control the image loading process conditionally. This can be useful in workflows where you need to load images based on certain criteria or conditions.
• Ensure that the image file you upload is in a supported format to avoid compatibility issues during the loading process.
• Utilize the filename output to keep track of the source image, especially when working with multiple images or when documentation is required.

Load Image without Listing Input Dir Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid image file: <filename>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified image file does not exist or is not accessible.
• Solution: Ensure that the image file you are trying to upload exists and is accessible from your local storage. Verify the file path and try uploading the image again.

Image loading disabled

• Explanation: This message indicates that the image loading process was disabled because the enabled parameter was set to False.
• Solution: If you want to load the image, make sure to set the enabled parameter to True. This will activate the image loading process and return the loaded image and mask.
