Get Accumulator (gen info)

Generation Info dumps one branch's settings. A sweep has several branches, which means several dumps - and comparing them means lining them up. Get Accumulator (gen info) is the plumbing that gathers those dumps into one bundle: it collects the data (GEN_INFO) output of every Set Accumulator (gen info) node sharing a name and bundles them, in index order, into a single GEN_INFO_LIST that the Generation Info Filter node consumes.

The input that matters:

• name - the accumulator name; must match the Set Accumulator (gen info) nodes. Press Collect to wire them in, in index order.
• skip_empty - on by default; drops empty dumps so a bypassed branch doesn't add an empty block downstream.

The output:

• data - the GEN_INFO_LIST bundle, one per-image dump in index order. Wire it straight into Generation Info Filter.

The full chain, end to end: each branch's latent passes through a Generation Info node (tapped downstream of convergence), whose data output feeds a Set Accumulator (gen info); this Get node collects them; Generation Info Filter lines the dumps up field by field and emits per-image settings for the comparison. The point of collecting before filtering is that you wire the filter once, to this node, instead of wiring it branch by branch - and when you add a sixth branch, you only copy another Set and press Collect, not redraw the filter's inputs.

Why skip_empty matters here specifically: an empty dump (say, a bypassed branch) would otherwise throw off the alignment, so the filter and the Get node agree on what "empty" means - a dump with no params at all. That shared definition is what keeps the blocks aligned across a mixed set of active and bypassed branches.

The pack's docs are honest about the alternative and why it's wrong: wiring a Generation Info data dump straight into the accumulator instead of via the chain above gives that branch a dump with none of the shared settings - and the filter's differences mode then keeps every field the other branches have, because a field present in some dumps and absent in others counts as a difference. So the chain exists to keep branches comparable.

Install via ComfyUI Manager (search "Kinburg-Nodes") or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Kinburg/Kinburg-Nodes

then restart. No dependencies beyond the pack - JSON bundling. One-author personal collection, per-package docs, 1395 automated checks. The one thing to keep straight: this node outputs a bundle for the filter, not a human-readable string - read settings through the filter's outputs, not here.
