ComfyUI_Prompt_Manager Introduction
ComfyUI_Prompt_Manager is a powerful extension designed to enhance your creative workflow by managing a categorized, reusable library of prompt snippets. This tool is particularly useful for AI artists who want to streamline their creative process by organizing and accessing their prompts efficiently. With features like reference images, drag-and-drop sections, presets, and queue-time randomization, ComfyUI_Prompt_Manager offers a comprehensive solution for managing your creative prompts directly from a custom panel within the node itself. Whether you're working on styles, camera angles, character designs, or backgrounds, this extension helps you keep everything organized and easily accessible.
How ComfyUI_Prompt_Manager Works
At its core, ComfyUI_Prompt_Manager functions as a custom node within the ComfyUI environment. It allows you to create and manage sections of prompts, each of which can contain multiple entries. Each entry can include a name, prompt text, and an optional reference image. The extension operates by enabling you to select prompts that you want to include in your output. When you select a prompt, it becomes part of the final output string. You can also enable or disable entire sections, giving you control over which prompts are active at any given time. The extension supports randomization, allowing you to automatically select prompts when you queue them, ensuring a fresh and varied output each time.
ComfyUI_Prompt_Manager Features
- Custom Sections: You can add, rename, delete, and reorder sections to suit your needs. This flexibility allows you to categorize prompts by style, camera, character, background, and more.
- Per-Prompt Entries: Each prompt entry can include a name, prompt text, and an optional reference image. You can view these entries in either a list or a compact grid format.
- Selection Equals Output: Simply click on a prompt to include it in your output. The ◎ icon allows you to select only one prompt per section, ensuring precise control over your output.
- Enable/Disable Sections: You can enable or disable entire sections independently of the prompts selected within them, providing additional flexibility.
- Randomization on Queue: This feature allows you to toggle randomization per section or for all sections at once. When enabled, a prompt is automatically selected when you queue it, with results that are reproducible thanks to seeding.
- Locked "Prompt" Text Box: This is a plain multiline field that can be repositioned among sections but cannot be deleted, ensuring that essential prompts remain accessible.
- Presets: Save your configurations server-side in the
presets/directory. You can pick presets from a dropdown menu and have options to reload, rename, or delete them. - Import/Export: You can import or export a single section as a portable, self-contained file with embedded images, making it easy to share and reuse prompts.
- Copy/Cut/Paste/Move: Easily manage your prompts by copying, cutting, pasting, or moving them between sections.
