EZ Tag Loader

If you work on anime-style models - Pony, Illustrious, NoobAI, the whole Danbooru-tag lineage that still runs on comma-separated booru tags - you type the same tags into the same prompt box a thousand times. EZ Tag Loader is the pack's answer: a one-tag-per-line text file becomes a visual picker, and you click tags in instead of typing them. It's the smaller cousin of EZ Prompt Loader (which loads whole prompt files); this one loads individual tag lines. Same UI philosophy, tighter focus.

How it works

Drop a .txt file into data/TAGS/ (subfolders allowed), one tag per line, and it shows up in the tags_file dropdown. The node reads whole lines as tags and lets you select in the same three modes as the rest of the pack - single, multiple (comma-joined), and random with an opt_seed for deterministic picks. filter_text narrows the list, and selections persist across workflow save/load.

Two details that make it genuinely usable:

• add_after - appends a text string after each tag (space-separated). This is the killer feature for character work: pick a character tag file and set add_after to a shared trait, and every pick comes out dressed the same way. Or use it to append a quality marker to everything.
• [empty] - a line literally containing [empty] becomes a blank option, so you can include "no tag" as a deliberate choice instead of just removing the selection. The README spells this out; it's the kind of thing that only makes sense once you've wanted it.

Outputs mirror the other loaders: STRING (the selected tag(s), comma-delimited if multiple), OPT_FILEPATH, and BATCH_SELECTED (a list, which becomes a way to batch-generate across every tag in a file).

The honest framing

Tag loaders are a small niche, and whether this beats your current system depends on how you prompt. If you hand-type tags, the payoff is a searchable, clickable library that can't typo. If you're already using wildcards or a prompt-builder, this is a more visual version of the same idea - the author's stated dislike of wildcard flexibility is the whole pitch. Where it shines is consistency: the same tag file across all your workflows means your character or style tags never drift.

Install

With the pack:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/ez-af/ComfyUI-EZ-AF-Nodes.git

restart, or ComfyUI Manager → search ez-af. No models, deps are just aiohttp/Pillow. One warning: empty lines in the tag file are ignored by design, so don't try to create a "nothing" option with a blank line - that's exactly what [empty] is for. And like all the loaders, new tag files only appear after a restart, since the dropdown is scanned when ComfyUI loads.
