LC Easy Folder 📂

ComfyUI's default output folder is where good workflows go to become ComfyUI_00047_.png and vanish. LC Easy Folder (LCEasyFolder) is the LC123 pack's fix: it builds a filename_prefix string for the native Save Image node - folder, prefix, suffix, and timestamp - and actually creates the folder under your output directory as part of the job. No extra save node, no replacing your existing Save Image, no Python.

It's a LC123/io utility, and it's the single least-glamorous node in this pack that saves you a real amount of pain. If you've ever wanted "every run lands in output/2026-08-26/drafts/ with a timestamped name," this is that.

How it works

One output: filename_prefix (STRING), which you wire straight into the filename_prefix input of the built-in Save Image node. The inputs:

• folder - the base folder under Comfy's output directory (default "Drafts"). The node ensures it exists via os.makedirs; separators are appended for you.
• prefix - the filename start (default "Test").
• suffix - optional extra text.
• timestamp - a format dropdown: none, %Y-%m-%d, %Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S, %Y%m%d, %Y%m%d_%H%M%S, %Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S, or %H%M%S.
• path_separator - auto (OS default), backslash, or slash. Useful when you share workflows across Windows and Linux.

The assembled name joins prefix, suffix, and timestamp with underscores, so a run becomes something like Drafts/portrait_v2_2026-08-26_143022.png.

Why it's better than typing it in

Three reasons. First, folders are created for you - the native Save Image just writes into the path, and if the folder doesn't exist you get a confusing failure; this removes that whole class of error. Second, it sanitizes illegal path characters in the folder and prefix (the source runs every part through a _sanitize), so a bad character in your naming scheme can't silently break the save. Third, it's a value node - change the folder once and every Save Image wired to it follows, which is the one-source-of-truth pattern the plumbing docs hammer on.

Install

Part of ComfyUI_LC123_nodes:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/lonecatone23/ComfyUI_LC123_nodes

or via ComfyUI Manager, then restart. It only uses ComfyUI's own folder_paths - no dependencies, no models.

Honest caveat: the pack is a niche utility collection with almost no community discussion, and this node's behavior is exactly what the README's save-paths table says it is. If you want subfolders by date, set folder to %Y-%m-%d-style… actually, no - folder is a literal string, not a format. The timestamp dropdown is where the dynamic part goes. That distinction is the one thing people get wrong on first use.
