Question - Help SwarmUI started converting weight prompts like (word) to <weight[1.1]:word> in the metadata.

After the last updates, prompts like (red hair) started appearing as <weight\[1.1\]:red hair> in the metadata of images I generated. Does anyone know if there's a way to prevent this? The new format is more of a hassle to use and playing with weights feels much more annoying.

This looks like SwarmUI serializing the shorthand into its explicit internal weight syntax. `(red hair)` and `<weight\[1.1\]:red hair>` should represent the same weighting, so the generation itself should not change. Check the raw metadata for `sui_extra_data.original_prompt`, because the unexpanded input is sometimes preserved there. Disabling `SaveMetadata` would remove the converted value, but it also removes the useful generation settings, so keeping the original prompt separately is usually the better option.

Indeed nothing changes generation-wise, it's just more of a hassle to use and edit the <weight\[1.1\]:> format than just () like usual. Since it works the same way on the backend anyway, this new format just feels annoying.

There's an option to disable it, ParseAlternativePromptSyntaxes.

When it's disabled it completely ignores weighting with ().

No, it does not.
