More information in the XY Plot node reference and the dedicated tutorials, from simple to advanced.
You can also check the examples, they will be frequently extended.

Output Config - dynamic outputs from a config file

Use the Output Config nodes to load custom config files, and dynamically create any number of custom outputs, that you can later connect to other nodes before executing the workflow.
Very useful to standardize your workflows, and keep a collection of configurations / test cases separately, share them with others... and many other applications.

<details> <summary><strong>Detailed features</strong> <i>(click to show)</i></summary>
  • any number of outputs, you decide what you need for your speific cases
  • very simple config file, by default, only output: value is needed
  • optionally configure the shape, color, and even the type of each output
  • available in JSON / JSON5 / YAML (with comments if you wish)
  • strictly validated with a JSON Schema, with detailed visual report in case of errors
</details>

[!NOTE] More information in the Output Config node reference and the dedicated tutorials.
You can also check the examples, they will be frequently extended.

Format String - one node to rule them all

Take advantage of the powerful Python string format() method, to build strings using placeholders.
Very useful for many operations: insert / prefix / append, concatenate, pad, truncate, ...
Any number of inputs (credits to @melMass and his comfy_mtb extension for the trick!).
Compatible with integers, floats, booleans.
Exist in 2 flavors: simple string and multiline.

[!NOTE] More information in the Format String node reference and the dedicated tutorials.
You can also check the examples, they will be frequently extended.

Queue - efficient and simple to use

Exist in 3 flavors: Generic, File, Image.
Very simple to use: auto-queuing (with error / interruption detection), no counter to reset or queue size to set.

List utilities - make lists as you want

A set of nodes to create lists (from string, file, individual elements).
Parse and convert strings to integers, floats, ...
Merge / limit lists.

More utilities

Please check the node list.

Documentation

[!TIP] All nodes in this extension has been adjusted with custom tooltips.
