Adjust the logic in handleFile function of app.ts

[mirabarukaso]

Prerequisites

• [x] I am running the latest version of ComfyUI
• [x] I have searched existing issues to make sure this isn't a duplicate
• [x] I have tested with all custom nodes disabled (see how)

What happened?

In the current logic, the parameters are positioned too early. This causes images saved using the Image Saver node with A1111 compatibility to fail to load the workflow correctly. Since the code first detects the presence of the parameters, it attempts to read them in A1111 compatibility mode instead of using the prompt correctly to load the workflow.

It is recommended that the priority of parameters is lowered to the very end so that compatibility mode is only used for evaluation if all preceding checks fail.

I traced back through the versions and discovered that, although this issue has probably been present for long time, bug it appeared after today I updated to latest ComfyUI.

  async handleFile(file: File, openSource?: WorkflowOpenSource) {
    const fileName = file.name.replace(/\.\w+$/, '') // Strip file extension
    const workflowData = await getWorkflowDataFromFile(file)
    if (!workflowData) {
      this.showErrorOnFileLoad(file)
      return
    }

    const { workflow, prompt, parameters, templates } = workflowData

    if (templates) {
      this.loadTemplateData({ templates })
    }

    if (workflow) {
      const workflowObj =
        typeof workflow === 'string' ? JSON.parse(workflow) : workflow
      await this.loadGraphData(workflowObj, true, true, fileName, {
        openSource
      })
      return
    }

    if (prompt) {
      const promptObj = typeof prompt === 'string' ? JSON.parse(prompt) : prompt
      this.loadApiJson(promptObj, fileName)
      return
    }
	
	if (parameters) {
      // Note: Not putting this in `importA1111` as it is mostly not used
      // by external callers, and `importA1111` has no access to `app`.
      useWorkflowService().beforeLoadNewGraph()
      importA1111(this.graph, parameters)
      useWorkflowService().afterLoadNewGraph(
        fileName,
        this.graph.serialize() as unknown as ComfyWorkflowJSON
      )
      return
    }

    this.showErrorOnFileLoad(file)
  }

Steps to Reproduce

1. Update to latest start comfyui
2. Load 2025-11-27-150211_3065179543.png in to comfyui
3. Shows the A1111 workflow
4. Load 2025-11-27-150211_3065179543 - Copy.png which has simply change parameters in tExt to marameters
5. Shows the correct workflow

Incorrect Workflow

Correct Workflow

2025-11-27-150211_3065179543 - Copy.png
