🔶 Info Display

This one has exactly one job: show you a string. No transform, no routing, no side effect beyond rendering text on the node itself once the graph runs. ComfyUI doesn't have a first-class "print" step baked in, and a few nodes in this pack produce plain-text output you actually want to read mid-run - Info Display is what you wire them into.

Why you'd reach for it

Chaosaiart-Nodes has a couple of places that hand back a STRING instead of an image or a model: chaosaiart_video2img1 reports what happened when it split a video into frames, and the pack's LoRA-related nodes surface trigger words and tag frequency pulled out of a LoRA's own metadata - an idea the author credits to idrirap's ComfyUI-Lora-Auto-Trigger-Words node. Neither of those is useful if the string just evaporates at the end of a wire. Info Display is the endpoint that makes them visible.

The README also credits pythongosssss - a name worth knowing, since he later co-founded Comfy Org alongside the ComfyUI and ComfyUI-Manager authors - specifically for making this kind of text display feasible to build in the first place, via his ComfyUI-Custom-Scripts pack. That's credit for inspiration, not a stated hard dependency: the README doesn't say you need Custom-Scripts installed for this node to function, just that it made building it easier.

Inputs and outputs

• info (required, STRING, multiline) - whatever text you feed it.

That's the entire schema. No outputs - it's is_output_node, meaning it's a dead end by design. Put it at the tips of branches you want to inspect, not in the middle of a chain you're still building on.

Installing it

Via ComfyUI Manager: Install via Git URL, paste https://github.com/chaosaiart/Chaosaiart-Nodes. Or by hand: cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes && git clone https://github.com/chaosaiart/Chaosaiart-Nodes, restart ComfyUI. Linux users additionally need pip install opencv-python and pip install tqdm (per the README, activate any venv first) - those are for the pack's video-handling nodes, not this one specifically, but they're installed once for the whole pack.

Where people get burned

There isn't much surface area to break here, which is the point of a node this small, but two things are worth knowing:

• It won't stringify other types for you. If the field looks empty or throws a type error, check that whatever you're feeding it is actually STRING-typed upstream - an INT or FLOAT output won't auto-convert.
• This is a niche, mostly-inactive project. The pack's launch thread on r/comfyui got a modest response and real community discussion of it more or less stopped after 2024. If something about the display behaves unexpectedly, you're reading the source rather than searching for an existing answer - there's no active support community to lean on.
