Feature Request: Loading log file to populate UI

[theelefant]

Given that we now have a log file, wouldn't it be nice to populate the UI directly from that file?

[barepixels]

Log files have a list of generated inages. How would it knows which one you want to load. Better would be load a specific PNG with metada

[MoonRide303]

@theelefant log file is feature added by original Fooocus author and he mentioned still working on it. But temporary HTML file aren't really most convenient way for loading prompt from them, so I don't think this log file will be used like that.

I like the general idea, though, so (when I'll have some spare time) I will look into ComfyUI and try figuring out how loading settings from PNG / JSON files is done there (as well as restoring previous session state). But Comfy uses different UI framework, and it might not so trivial to port this functionality to Fooocus - so no promises.

@barepixels I was referring to the JSON log introduced by this repository and not the HTML one from the original repository.

It would be convenient to just drag a PNG generated with your fork into the GUI and have it populated, that's the expected behaviour from the current userbase.

[MoonRide303]

@That-Dude Yeah, I really liked that in ComfyUI myself (as well as remembering UI state after the restart) - those are really nice quality-of-life features in Comfy :).

@barepixels I have initial version of loading prompt parameters from both JSON and PNG files working - should be ready to use today or tomorrow.

[barepixels]

Dude, you are my hero

@MoonRide303 Awesome! Many thanks!

[MoonRide303]

Just merged into moonride-main. It should work on metadata saved by current version, but might not be compatible with images generated with older versions. Let me know if it works for you.

REPORTING
After updating, I generate a new image. Then quit/relaunch Fooocus
Load the latest generate PNG.
All settings restored :-)

But three didn't
Advance check box is unchecked before it was set as check
Image Number is at 2, before it was set at 1
Save Metadata is set at Disable before it was set at PNG

It's kinda annoying having to change those three EVERYTIME I launch Fooocus. Not elegant and time waster

[barepixels]

Am happy to report: Using "deference mode" in Photoshop to compare. The image generated before and image generated after loading PNG are exactly the same, down to pixel level

You did great MoonRide303. Thank you

[MoonRide303]

@barepixels Settings like Saving metadata option, and number of generated images are related to UI itself, not particular prompt / image. I agree it would be nice to have last UI settings automatically restored, but that's a bit different functionality. Btw. I found one bug, related to switch slider value loading - should be fixed now.

[barepixels]

I will make a feature request at lllyasviel/Fooocus

You're on fire!

How about exposing 'save-metadata-on' as a command line switch. Or just default it to on. I think you're flying solo with that patch anyway.

[MoonRide303]

@That-Dude Yeah, it would be useful feature - but I'd rather do it as extension for save/restore UI state made in vanilla Fooocus. Let's first give lllyasviel a chance to speak how he sees it, to avoid duplicating work.

[barepixels]

Not wanting to RISK generating images without saving metadata to PNG, I have hard code in Fooocus-MoonRide/webui.py

save_metadata = gr.Radio(label='Save Metadata', choices=['Disabled', 'JSON', 'PNG'], value='PNG')

While at the same file (webui.py) I change the default "Image Number" from 2 to 1

image_number = gr.Slider(label='Image Number', minimum=1, maximum=32, step=1, value=1)

Could not figure how to set "Advanced" to default "Checked"

[MoonRide303]

@barepixels If you want to use quick hack, you can change (in webui.py)

                advanced_checkbox = gr.Checkbox(label='Advanced', value=False, container=False)
        with gr.Column(scale=0.5, visible=False) as right_col:

to

                advanced_checkbox = gr.Checkbox(label='Advanced', value=True, container=False)
        with gr.Column(scale=0.5, visible=True) as right_col:

[barepixels]

Brother, it works. Thank you

No more annoying having to change these three EVERYTIME I launch Fooocus

Advanced check box is always on
Image Number is at 1
Save Metadata set at PNG as default

[barepixels]

May I suggest to add a link to this fork at the footer. Or show me how.

[theelefant]

Could we consider adding a fourth option, "JASON+PNG", in the Advanced Tab?

[That-Dude]

Jason who? 😀

But those options should probably be tickboxes rather than radio buttons.

[theelefant]

Voorhees :)

But yes, tickboxes would be better.

I'm concerned that you're not getting enough sleep Mr MoonRide :-)

[MoonRide303]

@That-Dude Yeah, I could probably use some more of that :).

@barepixels You can check out latest version of moonride-main - I've added loading basic UI settings from JSON file (settings.json), it looks like that:
{"advanced_mode": false, "image_number": 2, "save_metadata_json": false, "save_metadata_png": false}
you can set your preferred values there, instead of having to edit the code.

[barepixels]

settings.json work. However, I did have to change the file name from settings-example.json to settings.json

After making changes to settings.json, one must quit/relaunch run-moonride.bat

[barepixels]

TIP: When load metadata from PNG one must make sure the "Random" check box is unchecked to insure the original seed is being used.

I suppose when choosing to load metadata from PNG "Random" checkbox should be automatically set as unchecked. But this is not a high priority for me.

Also wish to confirm metadata from yesterday's generated PNG still working.

[MoonRide303]

@barepixels Good catch - I just corrected this random seed checkbox - should automatically untick now after loading prompt files (either PNG or JSON) that include seed value. Sample settings file is provided under different name is to avoid conflicts with changes coming from git to that file (which would happen if settings.json was edited locally by you, and then I would add some more fields to it, etc.).

Seems to be working pretty fine now, so... I am closing it :).
