ComfyUI Node: Get Subdirectories (Mikey)

Get Subdirectories (Mikey):

The GetSubdirectories node is designed to help you easily retrieve a list of all subdirectories within a specified directory. This can be particularly useful when you need to organize or process files within a complex directory structure. By using this node, you can automate the task of identifying subdirectories, which can save you time and reduce the risk of errors associated with manual directory management. The node leverages the os.scandir method to efficiently scan the given directory and return paths of all subdirectories, ensuring that you have an up-to-date and accurate list of subdirectories for further processing or analysis.

Get Subdirectories (Mikey) Input Parameters:

directory

The directory parameter specifies the path of the directory you want to scan for subdirectories. This parameter is crucial as it determines the root directory from which the node will start its search. The value should be a valid directory path in string format. If the provided path is not a valid directory, the node will raise an exception. The default value for this parameter is 'base_directory', but you can change it to any directory path that suits your needs.

Get Subdirectories (Mikey) Output Parameters:

subdirectories

The subdirectories output parameter provides a list of paths to all subdirectories found within the specified directory. This output is essential for tasks that require further processing of files within these subdirectories, such as batch image processing or data organization. The output is returned as a list of strings, each representing the path to a subdirectory.

Get Subdirectories (Mikey) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the directory parameter points to a valid and accessible directory to avoid exceptions.
• Use the output list of subdirectories to automate tasks like batch processing of files or organizing data into different categories.
• Combine this node with other nodes that process files within directories to create a streamlined workflow for handling large datasets.

Get Subdirectories (Mikey) Common Errors and Solutions:

<directory> is not a valid directory

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified directory parameter does not point to a valid directory.
• Solution: Verify that the path provided in the directory parameter is correct and that the directory exists. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the directory.
