Show Any Multi

ComfyUI has a bad habit of hiding the interesting values. A model loads and all you see is a wire; a text switch picks a slot and you can't tell which one from the canvas. AUNShowAnyMulti is the "let me look at it" node for that: up to 20 inputs of any type - Model, CLIP, VAE, strings, ints, images, whatever - all displayed in one node, each showing its type, a string representation of its value, and an inline image preview when the input is an IMAGE. It's the universal debug/inspector node, and for a beginner it doubles as the least confusing way to confirm a workflow is actually doing what you think.

There's nothing to configure on the way in. The input_N sockets are all optional, all type *, and the node grows the visible sockets up to the 20 you actually use. Wire half a dozen things in and run the queue; each entry shows the connected output slot's name as a caption, so "which input is this again" never happens. The value shown is whatever string representation ComfyUI gives the object - a prompt string shows its text, a MODEL shows its repr, a filename shows the name.

The display controls are worth knowing because they change how usable it is. Right-click → Show/Hide Data Types toggles the type badge on each entry (handy when you're cramming in a lot of wires and just want values). Right-click → Max Value Len sets the character truncation limit, with hover showing the full text - the default cut can hide the tail of a long prompt, so raise it if you're inspecting text. And the collapse-connections mode (right-click or double-click) hides slot labels and converges all the wires to a single point, leaving a tidy panel of values instead of a star of links.

No outputs - it's a terminal node, pure inspection. If you also need the text forwarded downstream, the pack's AUNPassthroughAnyMulti is the same thing with a string output per input. The pack's own workflows use this constantly: after an AUNSaveImageV2 they run the save node's filename and sidecar_text into a Show Any Multi so you can read the auto-generated filename and parameters live, without opening the output folder. That's the killer use - anything that emits text you want to see ends up here.

Install: ComfyUI Manager (search "AUN"), or cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes && git clone https://github.com/loz2754/AUN-ComfyUI-Nodes, restart. Manual install and missing cv2/piexif? pip install -r custom_nodes/AUN-ComfyUI-Nodes/requirements.txt.

Troubleshooting:

• Blank until you run → normal; it populates on execution, not connection.
• Long text looks cut off → raise Max Value Len via right-click, or hover the entry.
• Too many empty sockets → they're autogrow; the ones you don't use just don't show.
