README
Civitai Updater for ComfyUI

ComfyUI custom node extension focused on update visibility for local Civitai models.

Core UX
Check for Updatesscans files and compares local model versions with latest Civitai releases.Scan Metadata Onlyscans files and refreshes sidecar metadata only.- Results are paginated (25/50/100), filterable, and can hide specific remote versions.
- Long jobs support
Pause/ResumeandStop.
Version means a specific Civitai release of a model.
New is now date-based: a remote version is shown only when its publishedAt date, or createdAt when publishedAt is missing, is newer than the newest installed local version date for that model.
