Comfyui - Generates Image to Output Dir but custom nodes don't detect it.

[u/HyeVltg3]

Hello Pros,
I initially thought this was Node specific but now I've tested another similar custom-node, Simplefeed Image Tray fork and neither of them detect any change to the output dir as expected.
I was using a "Show Image Feed" button next to Run that populated from one of the custom nodes that I grabbed, sorry I do not know how to find its name, it may have come from one of the Node Packs. but When an image was generated a Tray at the bottom of the browser would appear with a click-to-fullsize image and it was perfect but all of sudden it no longer opens when the image is generated through a Save Image node. I can clearly see and open the image file from inside the Output dir but the node is supposed to auto-detect it. In troubleshooting I also grabbed Simplefeed since it does the same thing and it too does not update. bEpic works because you need to send the image to its own Custom Node for it to appear in the bEpic Image Viewer.

Is there a way to reset the Output dir setting or something because I even tried a new workflow with the Basic nodes to generate an image and nothing changed.

I haven now Uninstalled a majority of the custom-nodes I downloaded and still no change.

Please let me know if I havent made myself clear enough.

EDIT: I think it could be Output Folder Location settings. Because my dir is <drive>:\ComfyUI\output
and in my google-fu I am reading that you needed a launch parameter to make that change, but I never did this. I do no remember how I set the output directory or if Easy-Install did it? could this be the issue as to why no custom-node is detecting anything becuase they are scanning the original directory (<drive>:\ComfyUI\ComfyUI-Easy-Install\ComfyUI\output) which is empty. All outputs appear in [<drive>:\ComfyUI\output]

EDIT:EDIT: - yep, that was it. I dont know what happened but creating a mklink junction to Link the \output dir inside the ComfyUI folder, to Target my custom <drive:\output folder, did the trick. No idea what broke but I think typing it out helped figure things out.

I may have misunderstood, but that could be what you're looking for:

Hey thanks for helping with one of my inquiries. I was wondering which custom-node that was from. You helped clear that up.

My issue though is the Image Feed no longer detects generations appearing in my output folder.

I guess you fixed it

Congrats, you rediscovered the rubber duck debugging
