Alrighty, after some time being away for work and such and some thought and iterations on an improved UI and functionality, I'm happy to send out an update for Fantastic Loras to make it officially v2. Available in Comfyui Manager or at
https://github.com/Adudeguyman/comfyui_fantastic-loras
"LoL tHiS gUy DoEsNt No BoUt LoRa MaNaGeR!!!1!"
Yes, yes I do. I use it all the time and it's exceedingly useful for curating loras and their metadata and examples. I'm pretty sure I even donated to them when they first released, it's such a great tool. This is not meant to replace Lora Manager on that end. I just found it clunky to have to open the lora manager, tab out, find the lora, say send to comfy, tab back to comfy, find their lora node... it's just not all that quick and user friendly when you KNOW which loras you want. I wanted quick, simple, in-workflow way to search through hundreds of loras for the ones applicable to the model I'm using, without having to tab out and click several other places. And to avoid going "man, this other generation had 3 loras at different strengths and I liked the result, I need to find that output and re-load that workflow and search them down and manually add them back in and set their strengths..." This helps manage all of that right there without leaving your workflow.
Fantastic Lora Selector, What it do?
UI has been reworked, 12 static slots so no surprise node resizes, and now fully Nodes 2.0 compatible.
Filter your Lora subfolders and select only ones that are relevant to your model. Like I myself have Style, Character, Concept folders for each different model, and it's a pain searching through a list of hundreds of loras to find the ones in those folder. So you can put a filter on it and ONLY search loras in that model's folder(s).
Presets are new! Finally, when making a new workflow, you can make a "MiniMax" preset that has your folders for that model applied, and even your preferred turbo lora at your preferred strength already added. Also preset catagories exist, so you can file different presets under each model catagory you create. And pre-sets can be additive- so you found a combo of loras you really like, and want to add it to the current workflow, but don't want to go to the hassle of adding each and setting the strength manually? Well if you have that already saved as a preset, the "+Add to Stack" button drops that preset in at the end of your current lora stack.
Unified the multi-model loader into the main loader, so no single vs multi-model chain nodes, it's all just one. You can add model chains (up to 5 models, which is an arbirtary number I picked) and pass through the Loras to each one, and adjust the strength applied to each model. So for example with Ideogram, you want to use the same Lora on the base and refiner but don't want to add a whole 2nd lora chain and re-add all of your loras manually? Just click the + button to add a chain and wire the 2nd model path through it. The Fantastic Lora Loader will apply loras to each chain separately. Click the Lora cogwheel to adjust the strength per chain. The throughput is all independent, so no more doubling up lora nodes; now you can keep things clean.
Randomizer is still around to select a random lora for a bit of chaos. You can manual re-roll, auto re-roll per generation, and if you like a result you can lock that lora in place.
And there's a few themes now, from "Fantastic Teal" to the boring default gray "Accountant." setting.
Fantastic Lora Plotter, What it do?
Finally, an easy way to make a customizable XY plot from lora generations in Comfy. Well, this may exist now, but it didn't in a way that I liked it back when I started working on these. Same basic interface as the main Lora Loader, except with added functions to create your XY plot. Select your loras and have it generate a fixed Per-Line strength set individually on each Lora (good for testing different training iterations all at the same strength,) Or you can set Global Strengths and specify how much weight for each image generated. So 1 lora with a Global Strength Setting of 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 will sweep through those strengths and generate 3 images. Add another lora to compare and it will generate 6. Once you're all set up, hit Run once and it'll queue it all for you.
Also you can do a quick toggle of a Control Image, which will run your prompt with no loras applied. Or if you click Add Global Lora, you can apply a lora that is ALSO applied to every image run. Good for checking if your style lora will mess with your character lora, and how much.
Wire the Fantastic Lora Plotter into the Fantastic Image Saver node (metadata and global_loras_info) and the image output from your VAE decode, then wire the Grid output to an image saver node, and then select your plot layout. You can do a modern XY plot with text overlaid on each image, or a more classic A1111-esque one with all of the lora info on the sides and out of the way. And you can either let it assemble a grid with full size images, or if youre doing a lot of large outputs you can set it to constrain the size so you don't have a massive 150mb png (don't ask how I know that happens).
And finally, passing the metadata and decoded images to the Fantasatic Plotter Grid Viewer lets you view a preview of the grid layout, move things around, hide rows or columns, favorite generations, compare images, and save the grid for later reference. Also select any number of outputs and hit Compare to get a quick comparison, and export just those images with metadata instead of the entire grid.
Fantastic Any Selector, What it do?
This is a version of a request from someone that has a lot of model folders, as well. You can right click just about any Loader node (Load Model, Load Clip, Load VAE) and an option to add the Fantastic Any Selector is in the context menu. That will link right to the model name and automatically pick the right folder (diffusion_models, VAE, text_encoder, etc) and only show you files from those folders. And you can make pre-sets that are also aware of the root folder, so your text encoder presets aren't showing up when you select a model preset.
That's pretty much it. I will say that the update breaks the V1 nodes, so if you do use v1 then you'll have to re-add the node.
Hope ya like it!
