This look so nice!

Love the UI and info it gives on the side with compatibility warnings. Perhaps highlighting the same node "image comparer" on the right from what you're currently searching for would be interesting.

Happy to see my suggestion to preview nodes lives on in this version as well!

I had this before. You might have a nightly version of the addon. Try the official one.

But yeah, this is a nightmare now. In earlier days you could change the security level from the UI. Now it is burried deeply in the code. I was not able to change it, even with help of ChatGPT.

Extremely helpful read. Cleared up just about everything for me 🙏

Any estimation date of when the "Manager" goes into the portable version natively? I don't want to mess around with Pip here.

And after all security settings the new manager does it’s job.

Download nodes and restarts backend.

It looks like all the nodes are updated today (filter update).

If you click on the node-pack the date changes.

It works.

But how to restart ComfyUI from the UI ?

This was possible with the legacy manager.

[ComfyUI-Manager] network_mode: public

[ComfyUI-Manager] Since --preview-method is set, ComfyUI-Manager's preview method feature will be ignored.

[ComfyUI-Manager] The matrix sharing feature has been disabled because the `matrix-nio` dependency is not installed.

To use this feature, please run the following command:

/opt/conda/bin/python -m pip install matrix-nio

before update app was running smoothly but from last few updates comfy behaving wierdly, Cannot import C:\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-RealESRGAN_Upscaler module for custom nodes: No module named 'basicsr'

Press any key to continue . . . Everything is updated, but new errors keep popping up. I think the best way to save time is to stop using this app altogether. Dealing with these constant errors is frustrating. We're here to create something with our creative minds, not to constantly be fixing things and looking for help. And the concepts of Sage Attention and Flash Attention are beyond my initial understanding. Why can't there be a simpler solution or built-in features?

I would love a "This node is used in "These saved workflows".

So, I can delete something that I use or don't use.

Do we need to remove the old ComfyUI-Manager Node from the custom Node directory?

It's optional; if you no longer need it, you can remove it. The pip version also provides the legacy UI.

Well, anything that replaces extensions with core functions is a great idea.

How about adding a Check for Updates feature now, for both ComfyUI and the UI as well?
