CR Image List Simple (Legacy)

CR Image List Simple is exactly what the name says: the plain version of CR Image List, with the labeling feature stripped out. Five optional image slots, no aliases, one combined list output. If you don't need to name each image, this is the leaner option.

How it works. Wire up to five images into image_1 through image_5. Unlike its non-Simple sibling, there's no per-slot text label here - just the images themselves. There's also an image_list_simple input that takes the output of another CR Image List Simple node, so you can chain multiple instances together when you need more than five images. Output is a single IMAGE_LIST_SIMPLE, plus the pack-wide show_help string.

IMAGE_LIST_SIMPLE is its own type. Note that this isn't the same socket type as CR Image List's IMAGE_LIST output - they're deliberately distinct types in Comfyroll's schema, so you can't mix a CR Image List Simple output into something expecting IMAGE_LIST from the full version, or vice versa. Pick one and stick with it for a given chain, or you'll get a socket mismatch.

Legacy, and what to reach for instead. This node is tagged Legacy in Comfyroll's own category path, same as CR Image List. It's not one of the nodes the top-level README calls out by name as deprecated (that shorter list only names CR Image Size, CR Aspect Ratio SDXL, CR Seed to Int, and CR SDXL Prompt Mixer), but the Legacy tag on the node itself is real. If you're starting a workflow fresh rather than maintaining an old one, Comfyroll's newer image-list nodes - CR Load Image List and CR Load Image List Plus, which pull images straight from a folder instead of five manual sockets - are worth checking first; they cover the common case of "I have a folder of images I want as a list" with a lot less wiring.

Where it's actually useful. When you genuinely have five specific images already sitting in your graph - outputs from earlier nodes, not files on disk - and just want them bundled into one list wire for a downstream Comfyroll node to iterate over or composite. It's a small, manual node for a small, manual case.

Install. ComfyUI Manager: search "Comfyroll Studio", install, restart. Manually: cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes && git clone https://github.com/Suzie1/ComfyUI_Comfyroll_CustomNodes.git, restart. No models to download.

Troubleshooting. The pack-wide gotcha applies here as much as anywhere: Comfyroll registers every node from one shared file, and real reports on r/comfyui show a single broken import - logged as Failed to load Graphics nodes / Failed to load Utility nodes - wiping the entire node set from the menu, not just the one class that actually failed. That's usually a symptom of an incomplete download (grabbing the CivitAI zip rather than a clean git clone is the common culprit); redo the install with git clone before chasing pip. And if you're trying to build image-comparison or grid-style workflows around list nodes, know that at least one person publicly gave up trying to configure Comfyroll's list/grid tooling for that specific use and switched to a dedicated XY-grid pack instead - worth comparing before you commit to it for that purpose.
