Feature Request: model and output path setting about comfyui HOT 18 CLOSED

You can now use --output-directory directory/path to set the output path.

I'm astonished to see that such an advanced and revolutionary piece of software just dumps all output files in the same folder with a meaningless ComfyUI_00123.png format.

A1111 is miles ahead here, naming files as output/YYYY-MM-DD/batchnumber_seed.png in a folder with the current date.

Is there some solution, extension or any possible way to emulate the same output format from automatic1111?

@Schokostoffdioxid My model paths yaml doesn't include an output-directory value. However, I now set the output path and filename using a primitive node as explained here: Change output file names in ComfyUI

Basically, to output files in a folder with current date you add this to your Primitive node:
%date:yyyy-MM-dd%/%date:hhmmss%_%KSampler.seed%

So the file would be saved as output/2023-08-15/083821_109992800202691_00001_.png, which means output/date/time_seed_00001_.png.

is it also possible to set the output path?

@ltdrdata It seems the README says nothing about output paths, and that plugin seems to add other features which are irrelevant in this case.

Hi, maybe im just dumb but is there no documentation / ability on how to set the output path inside the yaml?
im currently trying the following but this doesn't seem to work...

a111:
    base_path: E:\stable-diffusion-ai
    
    output-directory: stable-diff-output\comfyui

Also an ability (like a boolean here) to make automatic folders for different dates would be sick (but probably another PR i imagine)

In my advanced menu i dont have any of the same stuff there.
ALL i have are "Loaders, conditioning & model_merging" in advanced. Anyone else?

I've created a node for the purpose of customizing the file and folder names: https://github.com/thedyze/save-image-extended-comfyui

See also #66, #35, and #18 for alternate suggestions regarding this issue.

https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/blob/master/extra_model_paths.yaml.example

Update the ui, copy the new ComfyUI/extra_model_paths.yaml.example to ComfyUI/extra_model_paths.yaml and edit it to set the path to your a1111 ui.

Awesome, will test later. Thank you for adding this

You can now use --output-directory directory/path to set the output path.

That unfortunately does not work for UNC paths on Windows:

  File "C:\Applications\StableDiffusion\ComfyUI\ComfyUI\folder_paths.py", line 214, in get_save_image_path
    if os.path.commonpath((output_dir, os.path.abspath(full_output_folder))) != output_dir:
  File "ntpath.py", line 804, in commonpath
ValueError: Paths don't have the same drive

Where did you try to change please? In the .bat file or in the .yaml file.

Maybe you can find it in the WAS node suite.

just fyi this works fine in Windows

in run_nvidia_gpu.bat just put it here

.\python_embeded\python.exe -s ComfyUI\main.py --windows-standalone-build --output-directory "G:\projects\project-name\comfy-output"
pause

Works great with network shares mounted as drive letters
