Images can be saved to the output directory by running the workflow on the ComfyUI frontend. When I click 'Save (API Format)' and execute the API format, only temporary images are saved; the generated images are not saved to the output directory.
I took a quick look at your prompt, and the flow being passed to save image and preview image is completely different. Simplify it to use the flow that goes to save image, and test it again.
Your question
Images can be saved to the output directory by running the workflow on the ComfyUI frontend. When I click 'Save (API Format)' and execute the API format, only temporary images are saved; the generated images are not saved to the output directory.
