ComfyUI-gonztok_nodes is a new suite of custom nodes that swaps clunky text inputs for fast, visual pickers in ComfyUI. Version 1.2.0 introduces modal popups for selecting images and LoRA models, making the App Mode experience even smoother. The set includes three nodes: a Visual Folder Picker, a Visual Image Picker, and a Visual LoRA Picker, each designed to show assets as interactive galleries instead of file paths or dropdowns.

Developer Gonztok built these tools to make workflow navigation more intuitive and to cut down on manual typing. The nodes were tested on ComfyUI’s Nodes 2.0 and are especially helpful when presenting a workflow through App Mode. They also include a real-time linking system so picking a folder instantly updates what appears in the image or LoRA viewers.

Visual pickers replace text inputs

Key Features

Visual Folder Picker navigates directories with double‑clicks.
Visual Image Picker offers a sortable, searchable image grid with multiselection.
Visual LoRA Picker detects preview images for .safetensors files.
Master & Slave linking feeds a chosen folder into the image or LoRA picker.
New modal popups (v1.2.0) give a focused view for selecting images.
All panels are collapsible to keep the workspace clean.

Anyone who builds local ComfyUI workflows and wants a cleaner, faster way to pick assets will benefit. Hobbyists with large image or model libraries can stop scrolling through endless dropdowns and see previews instantly. Small studios and privacy‑focused professionals using App Mode can present a polished interface that hides messy file paths behind a visual browser.

Developer notes and real‑time updates

The developer focused on making the pickers feel responsive by using a JavaScript backend that actively polls for folder changes. So far, testing has only been done with Nodes 2.0, but the nodes are already useful in both workflow and App Mode. Future tweaks may further streamline the interface, though no specific roadmap has been shared.
