Load Saved Files 🧸

A couple of Plush nodes can save files to disk: the Add Parameters node saves inference-parameter setups, and the Exif Wrangler node saves extracted image metadata. Load Saved Files is how you get those back. It's a loader that knows where Plush stashes its two kinds of saved files and lets you pick one to pull into your workflow as text. Save a good parameter config for a specific model today, reload it next week without retyping.

Small, specific, and only useful if you're actually using the save features elsewhere in the pack.

How it works

You choose which of Plush's two file stores to browse, then pick a file from it, and the node outputs that file's contents as a string. The two stores are exactly the two things Plush saves: parameter files (from Add Parameters) and image meta-data files (from Exif Wrangler). Point the output wherever the text needs to go, into Advanced Prompt Enhancer's Add_Parameter chain, into a text display, or into any string input.

The inputs

• root_dir: which store to look in, either parameter files or image meta-data files. This determines the dropdown of available files.
• file: the actual file to load, listed from the store you chose. It reads [none] until Plush has files saved in that location, which is the tell that you haven't saved anything there yet.

The output is saved_file (the file's text), plus a troubleshooting output.

Why it exists

It closes the loop on Plush's save-and-reload story. The suite leans into reusable setups, dial in the exact parameters that make a particular local model behave, save them, and this node brings them back. Without it, those saved files would just sit on disk. It's the counterpart to the Save_to_file option on Add Parameters and the write_to_file option on Exif Wrangler.

Installing it

Comes with Plush-for-ComfyUI. Install through ComfyUI Manager (search "Plush", install Plush-for-ComfyUI, restart), or manually: cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes && git clone https://github.com/glibsonoran/Plush-for-ComfyUI.git, then pip install -r requirements.txt, restart.

Common issues

The most common "problem" isn't one: if the file dropdown shows [none], you simply haven't saved any files of that type yet. Go save a parameter set from Add Parameters (or a metadata file from Exif Wrangler) first, then the file will appear here. These files live in Plush's own directories under your ComfyUI install, not wherever you'd normally keep outputs, so don't go hunting for them in the standard output folder. If you're on a hosted or ephemeral ComfyUI where the filesystem resets between sessions, saved files may not persist, which is worth knowing before you rely on them. The troubleshooting output covers anything else.
