UI bugs encountered

Open richardtallent opened this issue 1 year ago • 8 comments

First time user, on Mac. Noticed a few bugs:

  • It's not clear for path-based fields whether they should have a trailing "/" or not (turns out no).
  • Changing model, etc. paths requires restarting the whole thing. Not mentioned on screen. Refresh buttons on LoRA, etc. doesn't do the truck.
  • It's complaining in the log that I don't have ffmpeg.exe. I do have ffmpeg, but it's looking for the wrong executable.

Some UI suggestions for improvement:

  • Make font sizes more consistent. I have to scale text on my 30" 4K monitor, but that makes some fonts way too big.
  • Many settings use TextArea fields, but are too small to actually wrap correctly when a value is entered. Give them more room by default or switch them to normal inputs.
  • Ideally, now we can use File System Access API's showDirectoryPicker to have the user choose a folder! Requires user permission but easier than trying to get and paste an absolute path.
  • Lots of "fit and finish" issues with padding, margins, color, text/field/icon alignment, etc. Makes the UI hard to grok.
  • Add support in the cards and metadata modal for embeddings and LoRA for the JSON files that are cached by the A1111 CivitAI plugin. These have, for example, the trigger words.
  • Move Sampler setting out of the comfyUI heading, it's a critical configuration setting.

The good news:

  • Installed with minimum fuss
  • Generates images (the most important thing!)
  • Being able to use absolute or relative paths allowed me to point to my A1111 folders
  • Having ComfyUI around in the background as an option is nice for future flexibility
  • The built-in image viewer is nice
