This repository offers a set of specialized tools for ComfyUI that facilitate the creation and management of file names, specifically tailored for visual effects (VFX) workflows. The tools are designed to sanitize text, generate valid file paths, and build standardized filenames, enhancing the efficiency of file management in VFX pipelines.
- Provides nodes for cleaning file names, generating file paths, and constructing standardized filenames.
- Ensures compatibility with different operating systems by automatically adjusting file path formats.
- Facilitates dynamic and structured naming conventions, allowing for customization based on user needs.
Context
This toolset, known as APZmedia Naming Tools, is designed to integrate seamlessly with ComfyUI, focusing on text processing for file naming in visual effects projects. Its purpose is to simplify the often complex task of creating valid and standardized file names and paths, which is essential in VFX production environments.
Key Features & Benefits
The toolset includes several key components:
- Clean File Name Node: This node sanitizes input text by removing invalid characters and allows for customization of prefixes and character limits, ensuring that all generated file names conform to required standards.
- Generate File Path Node: It dynamically constructs file paths based on project components, providing flexibility to include or exclude specific elements while ensuring compatibility with the operating system's path format.
- Standard Filename Builder: This feature enables users to concatenate various project elements into a single, structured file name, maintaining consistency across projects by allowing for delimiter customization.
Advanced Functionalities
The APZmedia Naming Tools also offer advanced capabilities:
- Accent Handling: The Clean File Name Node can convert accented characters to their unaccented forms, making filenames more universally compatible.
- Dynamic Path Generation: The Generate File Path Node allows users to toggle the inclusion of project components, which is particularly useful for managing complex VFX folder structures.
- Image Filename Extraction: The Image Filename node can extract original filenames from images, ensuring that metadata is preserved and utilized effectively.
Practical Benefits
By employing the APZmedia Naming Tools, users can significantly improve their workflow efficiency within ComfyUI. The tools streamline the file naming process, reduce the risk of errors associated with invalid characters, and enhance the organization of files in VFX projects. This ultimately leads to better control over file management and a more structured approach to naming conventions.
