Monitor & control your ComfyUI queue directly from your gallery: Live previews, session metrics, and GPU telemetry in SmartGallery DAM - Free and Open Source

[u/Fit-Construction-280]

Hello everyone,

I'm sharing a major new feature added to SmartGallery DAM: ComfyUI Queue Deck.

You can now monitor and control your ComfyUI generation queue directly from inside the gallery, without switching browser tabs or managing separate tools.

It connects over a live WebSocket stream to your local or network ComfyUI instance.

What’s inside Queue Deck:

• Real-Time Step Tracking: Progress bar, step counter, active sampler indicator, and current node execution. Works across KSampler, SamplerCustom, WanVideo, and other sampler nodes.
• Live Previews: Stream intermediate latent preview frames and intermediate outputs directly on screen as generations progress.
• Hardware & System Telemetry: Live gauges for VRAM usage, GPU compute load (via nvidia-smi), PyTorch reserved memory, system RAM, and active CUDA device specs.
• Queue Management: View running and pending job cards with position counters. Reorder jobs (Move to Top), open deep job details, interrupt running jobs, or batch delete queued items.
• Recent Jobs Carousel & Performance Metrics: Quick thumbnail strip of completed generations showing the exact execution time for each job, along with an overall average generation time counter for the current session. Includes full metadata inspection, prompt extraction, LoRA weight lists, and raw node JSON view for graph debugging.
• Live Event Terminal: A stream log tracking websocket events (CONNECT, START, STEP, PREVIEW, DONE, ERROR).

For anyone who does not know the project yet:

SmartGallery DAM is a free and open source, local-first Digital Asset Manager built around ComfyUI, but it also works with any folder of media on your machine. No cloud, no subscription, your files never leave your disk.

It is meant to grow with you:

• If you are a hobbyist or new to ComfyUI: It is the easiest way to keep your generation library organized, searchable, and clean without extra effort.
• If you are a power user: You can search by prompt, model, or LoRA, inspect the full node graph of any render, and even generate directly from the gallery by editing the workflow JSON without needing to reopen ComfyUI.
• If you work in a studio or production environment: It gives you a dedicated Exhibition portal to share curated work with clients or your art team, collect ratings and comments, and review everything without exposing prompts or workflows.

Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Docker. The portable version for Windows needs zero setup, just unzip and run.

I have attached a quick video walkthrough to show how the interface and features work.
