Intermediate Steps

[guzuligo]

I'd like to see intermediate steps so I know what I'm doing. Isn't it possible to allow VAE's or KSamplers to have the ability to show a preview of what the sampler doing?

Using the full VAE is not cheap, but using something like this from auto1111 could work.

https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/blob/master/modules/sd_vae_approx.py#L49-L61

Maybe have a collapsable preview section in the sampler node.

I'm also requesting this. This was the first thing I was missing transitioning from a1111 to ComfyUI.

I don't know when this was added, but you can now add the --preview-method auto switch to the ComfyUI startup script and it will show a live preview in the Sampler node while rendering.

@nistvan86 Thanks for sharing!
I wish it was something visible in the settings instead of being hidden in the command line.
