ComfyUI Node: Save Latent Batch 🍌

Save Latent Batch 🍌| Save Latent Batch 🍌:

The SaveLatentBatch| Save Latent Batch 🍌 node is designed to save batches of latent representations to disk, providing a convenient way to store and manage these data structures for later use. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who work with generative models and need to save intermediate latent states for further processing or analysis. By saving latents in either .npy or .npz formats, this node ensures that the data is preserved in a format that is easy to reload and manipulate. The node also allows you to specify a folder for saving the files, ensuring that your data is organized and easily accessible. Additionally, the node supports the inclusion of a seed value in the filenames, which can be useful for tracking and reproducing specific results.

Save Latent Batch 🍌| Save Latent Batch 🍌 Input Parameters:

latents

This parameter expects a batch of latent representations, typically generated by a generative model. The latents are saved to disk in the specified format. The latents should be provided in a dictionary format with a key "samples" containing the actual latent data.

folder

This parameter specifies the folder where the latent files will be saved. It is a string value, and if the folder does not exist, it will be created. The default value is an empty string, which means the files will be saved in the current directory.

extension

This parameter determines the file format for saving the latents. You can choose between "npy" and "npz". The default value is "npy". The "npy" format saves the latent data as a single array, while the "npz" format can save multiple arrays and additional metadata.

seed

This parameter is an integer value used to generate filenames for the saved latents. It helps in tracking and reproducing specific results. The seed value is included in the filenames, followed by an index. The default value is 0, and it can range from 0 to 0xffffffffffffffff.

Save Latent Batch 🍌| Save Latent Batch 🍌 Output Parameters:

None

This node does not produce any output parameters. Its primary function is to save the provided latents to disk.

Save Latent Batch 🍌| Save Latent Batch 🍌 Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the folder path specified in the folder parameter is correct and accessible to avoid any file saving issues.
• Use the seed parameter to generate unique filenames, which can help in organizing and tracking your saved latents.
• Choose the appropriate file format (npy or npz) based on your needs. Use npy for simple arrays and npz if you need to save additional metadata.

Save Latent Batch 🍌| Save Latent Batch 🍌 Common Errors and Solutions:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

• Explanation: This error occurs when the node does not have permission to create the specified folder or save files in the specified directory.
• Solution: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to write to the specified directory. You may need to change the folder path or adjust the permissions.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified folder path is invalid or does not exist.
• Solution: Verify that the folder path is correct and that the directory exists. The node should create the folder if it does not exist, but ensure the path is valid.

ValueError: Invalid file extension

• Explanation: This error occurs when an unsupported file extension is provided in the extension parameter.
• Solution: Ensure that the extension parameter is set to either "npy" or "npz". These are the only supported formats.

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

• Explanation: This error occurs when the latents parameter is not provided or is in an incorrect format.
• Solution: Ensure that the latents parameter is a dictionary with a key "samples" containing the latent data. Verify that the data structure is correct before passing it to the node.
