从原始路径加载图片

ComfyUI's built-in LoadImage is famously locked to the input/ folder - drop a file anywhere else and it can't see it. KSLoadImageWithPath breaks that restriction: it loads an image from any absolute path on disk (or a path you pick with a system file dialog button) and, crucially, also outputs the resolved absolute path. That path output is the whole reason this node exists in this pack - the downstream save node uses it to know where to put results next to the source file.

What it does

The image_path input takes a filesystem path - png, jpg, jpeg, webp, bmp, tif, tiff - and there's a button that opens your OS's native file picker instead of typing. The loading itself follows ComfyUI's built-in LoadImage behavior closely: EXIF orientation is respected, animated images give you their frames, an alpha channel becomes a mask, and output dtype/device placement match ComfyUI's conventions. So you get standard, predictable behavior - just not restricted to input/.

Three outputs:

• image - the RGB tensor.
• mask - built from the alpha channel; all-black if the file has none.
• source_image_path - the resolved absolute path. This is the star. Wire it to KSDirectorySaveImages (which creates a white_background subfolder next to it) or to the CLI input node (which derives 1688_main output paths from it), and your outputs land organized next to your sources automatically.

The file-picker caveat

Browsers can't expose absolute local paths, so the picker runs on the backend via OS-specific dialogs. On Windows it uses Python ctypes to open the native Explorer dialog - no extra install. On Fedora/Linux it shells out to zenity or kdialog, and if neither is installed, the button silently has no way to work:

sudo dnf install -y zenity   # or kdialog

That's the single most common "the button does nothing" fix for this pack on Linux. The path text input itself works everywhere - the picker is the only OS-dependent bit.

Installing

With the pack:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/kongshan4219/ComfyUI-Kongshan-Nodes

restart ComfyUI. No models, no keys - but on Linux, install zenity or kdialog for the picker button.

Gotchas

• It validates the path up front. VALIDATE_INPUTS rejects a path that doesn't resolve to a file, with a clear "Invalid image file: ..." message. Type carefully - a typo fails fast rather than at execution.
• It re-loads when the file changes. IS_CHANGED is based on a hash of the file, so editing the image on disk and re-queueing actually picks up the new version - unlike nodes that cache by path string forever.
• Security note, for real. Being able to load from any absolute path also means this node reads whatever it's told to. That's the feature; just don't pipe untrusted path strings into it (and be aware the pack's CLI executor makes an even bigger trust decision - see KSAntigravityCLIExecute).

The KB's image-io-metadata essay covers how the standard LoadImage / input/ contract works; this node is the deliberate exception to it, and the path-carrying design is what makes the whole Kongshan "save next to the source" workflow possible. It's the node that makes the pack feel like a real production tool instead of a toy.
