Simple Readable Metadata MAX-SG

If you've seen SimpleReadableMetadataSG, this is its older sibling wearing a toolbelt. SimpleReadableMetadataMAXSG reads image metadata the same way - PNG or WEBP, ComfyUI or A1111/Forge format - but instead of stopping at one readable summary and a few typed outputs, it exposes nearly every value as its own output jack. The name is not false advertising: this is the MAX version.

You'd reach for it when the metadata values need to drive other nodes, not just inform you. Feed its seed into a re-run, use width/height or the width_ratio/height_ratio to compute aspect-ratio-aware conditioning, or read steps/cfg_scale/sampler/scheduler into a logging node. A human doing a one-off "what made this image?" is better served by the base node plus the Text Viewer - the MAX version's 17 outputs are for automation.

The inputs

Same family pattern as the base node:

• image - choose from the input-folder dropdown or drag a file onto the widget.
• show_info - here it's just on/off, not the base node's four-way toggle. It controls the on-node display.
• emoji_in_readable_text (default on) - emoji labels in the readable summary; turn off for clean text output.

The outputs that earn the "MAX" name

The readable text, image and mask pass-throughs, metadata_raw, both prompts, seed, and file_name_text are the same as the base node. What MAX adds:

• width, height (INT) - actual pixel dimensions.
• width_ratio, height_ratio (FLOAT) - aspect-ratio values.
• Resolution_in_MP (FLOAT) - megapixels, handy for sanity-checking against a model's native resolution.
• steps (INT), cfg_scale (FLOAT) - generation parameters pulled from the metadata.
• sampler and scheduler - typed as the full ComfyUI KSampler enumerations (euler, dpmpp_2m, karras, and every other option in the dropdowns), so they wire straight into sampler-config nodes without string-matching.

The mechanism is the same parser as the base node, but the output list is the entire point: if you're building a workflow that reacts to what it reads, you don't want to string-parse the readable summary - you want real INTs and FLOATs on the wire. That's this node.

Installing

Pack-level setup, identical to the rest:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/ShammiG/ComfyUI-Simple_Readable_Metadata-SG.git
cd ComfyUI-Simple_Readable_Metadata-SG
pip install -r requirements.txt   # opencv-python

Or Manager → Custom Nodes Manager → search Simple Readable Metadata-SG → install → restart. No model files.

Gotchas

Same caveats as the whole family. Metadata must actually exist in the file - stripped chunks mean nothing to read. The Node 2.0 warning applies on ComfyUI 0.3.76+: keep it OFF or the widget rendering breaks. And a MAX-specific note: an unconnected output is free - ComfyUI only computes what's wired - so leaving half the jacks dangling costs nothing. Don't be shy about only connecting what you need.
