ComfyUI Extension: Dir Gir

ComfyUI-DirGir Introduction

Welcome to ComfyUI-DirGir, an extension designed to enhance your experience with ComfyUI by providing utility nodes that simplify directory management. This extension is particularly useful for AI artists who need to handle large numbers of files efficiently. ComfyUI-DirGir allows you to select directories, loop through files, and manage file indices seamlessly, ensuring that you can focus on your creative work without getting bogged down by technical details. Whether you're working with images or other file types, ComfyUI-DirGir helps automate repetitive tasks, making your workflow smoother and more efficient.

How ComfyUI-DirGir Works

ComfyUI-DirGir operates by introducing utility nodes that manage directories and file indices. Imagine having a virtual assistant that keeps track of your files, automatically looping through them and resetting indices when needed. This extension uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to let you select directories easily, and it remembers your selections even after restarting the server. By automating the process of looping through files, ComfyUI-DirGir ensures that you never have to manually reset indices or worry about exceeding the number of available files.

ComfyUI-DirGir Features

GIR Directory Picker

The GIR Directory Picker node provides a user-friendly interface for selecting directories. It uses tkinker to open a GUI file browser, allowing you to choose a directory with ease. Once selected, the directory path is saved persistently, meaning it remains available even after server restarts. This feature is perfect for artists who frequently switch between different projects or file sets.

GIR Loopy Dir

The GIR Loopy Dir node automates the process of looping through files in a directory. It increments the file index automatically and resets it to zero once all files have been processed. You can filter files by extension or use regular expressions to refine your selection. This node is ideal for batch processing tasks, ensuring that you can queue files without worrying about manually managing indices.

GIR Image Nabber

The GIR Image Nabber node simplifies the process of loading images from a specified path. It works seamlessly with the results from the Loopy Dir node, allowing you to focus on your creative tasks without needing additional directory filtering logic. This feature is particularly useful for artists who need to work with specific image sets.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI-DirGir

If you encounter issues while using ComfyUI-DirGir, here are some common problems and solutions:

• Directory Picker Not Working: Ensure that tkinker is installed correctly. If the automatic installation fails, refer to the TKinker Installation Guide (https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html) for manual setup.
