[UX SUGGESTION] Invert "Disable feedback" checkbox to "Enable"

[h3rmit-git]

While working with FABRIC and many other plugins that I have installed, I noticed that FABRIC is the only plugin that is always enabled by default and requires opting-out explicitly. It also seems to inject itself every time, even when disabled, and produces logs. This can be misleading, especially when using several plugins at the same time.

Here is an example, in one out of hundreds of executions where I didn't need to use FABRIC:

My suggestion is to:

• Have two checkboxes at the top of the form, both unchecked by default, like: [ ] Enable [ ] Enable in high-res
• When turned off, do not perform any processing or produce any logs, but instead exit immediately.

The justification for this is that the user needs to have a way to turn a plugin off completely, when it's not needed in the generation. And it's more convenient if the way to do so also has the same semantics amongst all plugins (Enable, opt-in).

Thanks in advance!

I'm open to this and I see the point about logging. Right now, FABRIC is actually "disabled" by default as it only hooks into the forward pass if there are feedback images present.

What I think I'll do: Invert the checkbox to [] Enable like you suggested (for semantic consistency) but have it turned on by default and only log something if it is both enabled and has feedback images present. This way it's still just a one-click operation to enable FABRIC (namely: liking/disliking an image). Lmk what you think.

Well, all the other plugins that I've installed so far are disabled by default, even when the rest of their configuration suggests the lack of action:

In my opinion, FABRIC is one of the many ways to guide the image generation. I just started experimenting with it yesterday and haven't seen its full potential yet, but I guess that in most use cases I'll be generating or editing images that I don't have or don't want to use references/examples for.

I also believe that interference with the generation process and other plugins should be minimized to a bare minimum (zero, if possible) when turned off, as a means to protect from possible incompatibilities with other forms of guidance, or wrong/inconsistent/non-reproducible results.

Yes, this is already the case of course, FABRIC will not hook into the generation process if there is no feedback to apply.

Ok I see, I think it makes sense to follow any conventions there is among plugins.

I've updated the UI according to your suggestions in the latest version
