Overview

The ComfyUI-FilePathCreator is a custom node extension for ComfyUI designed to generate dynamic filenames based on user-defined parameters. This node helps streamline the process of creating organized and timestamped filenames, ideal for saving output files in a structured manner.

Features

  • Customizable Filename Prefix: Define a custom prefix for your filenames to easily identify and categorize your files.
  • Dynamic Timestamps: Generate filenames with current timestamps using customizable time formats.
  • Optional Output Folder: Specify an output folder where files should be saved. If not specified, a default local output folder is used.
  • File Type Specification: Choose the file extension for the generated filenames. If the file type is left empty, the filename is generated without an extension.

Inputs

  1. file_prefix (required):

    • Type: STRING
    • Default: "output"
    • Description: The prefix to be used for the generated filename.

  2. time_format (required):

    • Type: STRING
    • Default: "%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S"
    • Description: The format for the timestamp in the filename. Uses Python's datetime format codes.

  3. output_folder (optional):

    • Type: STRING
    • Default: ""
    • Description: The folder path where the file should be saved. Defaults to a local "output" folder if left empty.

  4. filetype (optional):

    • Type: STRING
    • Default: "txt"
    • Description: The file extension for the generated filename. If left empty, no file extension is added.

Outputs

  1. Filename: The generated filename based on the prefix and timestamp.
  2. Folder Path: The path of the output folder.
  3. Combined Path: The full path combining the output folder and filename.

Example Usage

After installing the ComfyUI-FilePathCreator, you can use it to generate filenames like output_2023-07-07-143022.txt and save them in a specified folder. This is particularly useful for batch processing or saving results from automated workflows in a consistent and organized manner.
