[Feature Request]: Allow Workflows to be Stored in Alternate Folder #688

Open camoody1 opened 2 weeks ago

camoody1 commented 2 weeks ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

What would your feature do ?

Allow a different folder location for our Workflows list. I keep my workflows in a separate folder structure outside of Comfy. But the new UI seems to only look in that one location under \ComfyUI\user\default\workflows. I would like to have a setting to make Comfy look in an alternative folder location.

Proposed workflow

  1. Go to workflow drop-list button.
  2. After the Default - Browse - Blank buttons, add a new "cog" icon for Settings.
  3. Under the Settings option, allow the user to select a different folder location for their workflows.

Additional information

I think the reason why we did not implement the random folder access is that for cloud hosted servers, we probably don't want all users to gain access to the full server file system access. But this feature is definitely valid. We just need to add an extra cmd flag to distinguish execution environment (Self-hosted vs Remote-hosted), and give the self-hosted server script the full access to the file system.

Sir, you are 100x more knowledgeable than me regarding the minutia of how to accomplish this, so I trust you'll be able to find a way to make it possible. Thank you for the consideration and all the hard work you and your coworkers are putting into this.

If I understood correctly, @camoody1 just wants to point comfyui to use his workflow folder instead. We could use a cmd flag to set the target workflow folder, and keep file access restricted.

Correct. This is all I am wanting to do.
