ComfyUI Node

Symbiotica Pick

Lists the images one stage of an asset has produced, numbered, and sends on the ones ticked. It writes nothing and stores nothing: the files stay where the save node put them, so a new render appears by queueing this node again and looking at the work can never cost a generation. The folder is one wire: Asset Focus's `save_path` into `save_path`. `stage` names a step under it (`edits` reads `…/<asset>/edits_00001_.png`). Wire the `save_path` output into the Save Image that fills that stage and this node lists exactly what that node wrote, by construction. Chain them: a picker wired to another picker's `picked` lists exactly what that one approved, so choosing from a shortlist needs no folder of copies. `mode` is whether this step takes a set or one image — editing is done to one.

Inputs (10)

Name	Type	Default	Description
imagesopt	IMAGE		Wire the save or preview node this stage's images come out of. Its VALUE is never used — the images are read off disk — but the link makes this node run after it, so a fresh render is listed the same queue it was made. Wired to another Pick, this node lists exactly what that one ticked.
save_pathopt	STRING		Wire Asset Focus's `save_path` here — the same string the save nodes take, so this node lists exactly where they write, and `stage` names a step under it. A relative path resolves under ComfyUI's output directory; a save node's own prefix works too (`…/Food - 3 stages/Spookies` lists that asset's `Spookies_*` files).
selectionopt	STRING		—
viewopt	STRING		—
modeopt	COMBO	multiple	Whether this step takes a set or one image. `single` is for editing — you edit the image you are working on, so ticking replaces the previous pick instead of adding to it.
stageopt	STRING		Deprecated — review a step by chaining pickers with `show` and `edit_save_path` instead; the panel hides this widget when it is empty. Kept because widget values restore by position in saved graphs. Which step of this asset to list, as a name under the asset's own folder: `edits` lists `…/<asset>/edits_00001_.png`. Empty lists the asset's own renders, which is where a save node writes them first. Wire the `save_path` output into the Save Image that fills this stage and the two cannot disagree.
namesopt	STRING		Which files out of the folder. An entry with an extension is one exact file — wire Asset Refs' names to see only THIS asset's client references. An entry without one is a save prefix: the same tag the Save Image in this lane was given (`_base`, `edits`) lists exactly what it wrote. Empty lists the whole folder.
showopt	COMBO	approved	Only matters when another picker feeds this one, and does nothing otherwise. `approved` lists exactly what that picker ticked. `edits` lists the files saved FROM those ticks instead, which is how you review the edits of one approval — wire that picker's `edit_save_path` into the Save Image in between, so each edit records the render it came from.

Outputs (4)

Name	Type	Description
picked	IMAGE	—
save_path	STRING	The path this node lists, ready for a Save Image node's `filename_prefix` — so the node that WRITES this stage and the node that READS it are named in one place.
edit_save_path	STRING	`save_path`, marked with the render that was picked — for the Save Image that writes EDITS of it. The mark is what lets a later picker list the edits of one approval, which no set of ticks can do: an edit is a file named after the tick was made. With no single pick to name, this is `save_path` and the edit carries no mark.
for_edit	IMAGE	The images marked for edit on the panel (✎), as their own lane — wire into the edit chat/model. Approve ticks flow out `picked` unchanged.
