[FEATURE REQUEST] - File Input Pipeline about comfyui-prompt-reader-node HOT 6 CLOSED

There might be some details I need to explain. The images transferred in the workflow don't contain any metadata; they are just a bunch of pixels. Prompt Reader can only read metadata from images that have been saved as files.

If you could provide me with a complete application scenario, I might be able to think of alternative solutions to help you complete your pipeline.

BTW, if you convert the image widget to an input, you can input any image file by inputting the complete file path in STRING format.

Like this, but for images instead of a filename.

Wasn't aware that the metadata was being applied at save and not in a pre-save process. I was hoping to take the image reference with attached meta data and feed it straight back into the Prompt Reader, I assume given how it's set up that I would need to take the output filename from Prompt Saver and feed that back into Prompt Reader so it can read the files from disc, correct? The File Name output from Prompt saver doesn't provide path data so I'd have to manually append the path to the filename myself, correct?

from comfyui-prompt-reader-node.

Theoretically, yes. But currently, since the reader cannot directly accept a string format path, you need to find a workaround.

However, you’ve also made me realise that having the prompt saver output the complete file path could be a very practical feature. Also, I will modify the batch loader node so that it can also accept a single image input, meaning that it will also work when the path points to a single image instead of a folder. I'll add these two features in version 1.2.

Please try out the single file string support in the new version of the Batch Loader.

Excellent, this will work as needed. One thing I noticed if using the Batch Loader into the Prompt reader the display image doesn't update, though this doesn't affect other functionality.
