ComfyUI Node: LoadFile

LoadFile:

The LoadFile node is designed to facilitate the loading of files from a specified input directory, making it an essential tool for managing and accessing various file types within your AI art projects. This node is particularly useful for users who need to work with files that are stored in a predefined directory, allowing for seamless integration and retrieval of these files for further processing or analysis. By leveraging the LoadFile node, you can efficiently manage your file inputs, ensuring that the correct files are loaded and ready for use in your creative workflows. The node is part of the AIFSH_RealisDance category, indicating its specialized use in certain artistic applications.

LoadFile Input Parameters:

file

The file parameter is a required input that specifies the file you wish to load from the input directory. This parameter presents a list of available files in the directory, allowing you to select the desired file for processing. The impact of this parameter is significant as it determines which file will be loaded and subsequently used in your workflow. There are no explicit minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it is essential to ensure that the file exists in the input directory and is accessible. The default value is not applicable as you must select a file from the list provided.

LoadFile Output Parameters:

PATH

The PATH output parameter provides the file path of the loaded file. This output is crucial as it serves as a reference to the file's location, enabling further operations or processing steps to be performed on the file. The PATH output ensures that you have a clear and direct link to the file, facilitating its use in subsequent nodes or processes within your project.

LoadFile Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the input directory is correctly set up and contains the files you intend to load. This will streamline the file selection process and prevent errors related to missing files.
• Regularly update the input directory with the latest files you need for your projects to maintain an organized and efficient workflow.
