ComfyUI Node: 📂 File Count

File Count [Dream]:

The File Count [Dream] node is designed to help you quickly determine the number of files within a specified directory that match given patterns. This node is particularly useful for managing and organizing large collections of images or other files, as it allows you to easily count files based on specific criteria. By providing a directory path and file patterns, you can efficiently tally the total number of files that meet your requirements, making it easier to manage your assets and streamline your workflow.

File Count [Dream] Input Parameters:

directory_path

The directory_path parameter specifies the path to the directory where the files you want to count are located. This parameter is a string and should be the full path to the directory. If the directory does not exist, the node will return a count of zero. This parameter does not have a minimum or maximum value, but it defaults to an empty string.

patterns

The patterns parameter allows you to define the types of files you want to count within the specified directory. This parameter is a string that can include multiple file patterns separated by a pipe (|) character. For example, you can use *.jpg|*.png|*.jpeg to count all JPEG and PNG files. This parameter also defaults to *.jpg|*.png|*.jpeg and does not have a minimum or maximum value.

File Count [Dream] Output Parameters:

TOTAL

The TOTAL output parameter provides the total number of files that match the specified patterns within the given directory. This output is an integer value representing the count of files found. It is useful for understanding the volume of files that meet your criteria and can help in further processing or organizing your data.

File Count [Dream] Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the directory_path is correctly specified and points to an existing directory to avoid getting a count of zero.
• Use specific file patterns in the patterns parameter to narrow down the count to only the files you are interested in. For example, use *.png if you only want to count PNG files.
• Combine multiple file patterns using the pipe (|) character to count different types of files in one go, such as *.jpg|*.png|*.gif.

File Count [Dream] Common Errors and Solutions:

Directory does not exist

• Explanation: The specified directory_path does not point to an existing directory.
• Solution: Verify that the directory path is correct and that the directory exists on your file system.

No files match the patterns

• Explanation: No files in the specified directory match the given patterns.
• Solution: Check the patterns parameter to ensure it correctly specifies the file types you want to count. Adjust the patterns if necessary to match the files in the directory.

Invalid patterns format

• Explanation: The patterns parameter is not formatted correctly.
• Solution: Ensure that the patterns are specified as a string and separated by the pipe (|) character if multiple patterns are used. For example, use *.jpg|*.png for counting both JPEG and PNG files.
