File menu
The File menu works with files: the project file of this app (.nodewise.json, the graph with its explanations) and the workflow file of ComfyUI (.json, the graph only). It also opens pictures and videos that ComfyUI saved, recent files and examples, works with lesson files, opens Settings and closes the app. A file dropped on the window opens the same way as Open workflow….
Items
| Item | Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| New project | Ctrl+N | Starts an empty graph. If the graph on the canvas is not saved to a project file as it stands, the app asks first. See Starting a new project. |
| Open project | Ctrl+O | Opens a project file of this app. The explanations and notes come back with the graph. See Project files. |
| Open recent | none | The last 10 files you opened or saved. Hover over one to see its path. "Nothing opened yet" while the list is empty. |
| Examples | none | The finished graph of every lesson your ComfyUI can build, named after the lesson. Empty until ComfyUI is read. See Opening a workflow. |
| Save project | Ctrl+S | Saves the graph with its explanations. The first time the app asks where; after that it writes to the same file without asking. |
| Save project as… | Ctrl+Shift+S | Always asks for a place and a name. |
| Open workflow… | Ctrl+I | Opens a workflow saved from ComfyUI (a .json file), a workflow in the API format, or a picture or video ComfyUI saved. See Opening a workflow. |
| Save workflow for ComfyUI… | Ctrl+E | Checks the graph, then saves a clean workflow for ComfyUI and shows the card Run it in ComfyUI. Explanations and notes stay in the project. See Saving a workflow for ComfyUI. |
| Load node list from file… | none | For when there is no connection: reads the nodes and models from an object_info file saved from ComfyUI. See Loading a node list from a file. |
| Import lessons… | none | Adds lessons from a .lesson.json file to My lessons. See The lessons tab. |
| Make a lesson from this graph | none | Opens the lesson editor with a step for each node of the graph. See The lessons tab. |
| Settings… | Ctrl+, | Opens Settings. |
| Quit | Ctrl+Q | Closes the app. The graph on the canvas is kept and comes back at the next start. |
On a Mac, Ctrl is Cmd. New project, Open project and Open workflow ask first while the assistant is building: "The assistant is still building. Stop it?"
What the app says
- "Project saved." / "Project opened." / "Workflow saved for ComfyUI." appear at the bottom right after a file is written or read.
- When a field looks like a key or a token, the app asks before it writes the file: "1 field looks like a key or token". See Messages and dialogs.
- When a file cannot be opened, the message says why, for example "This file is not a NodeWise Studio project." or "There is no workflow in this file. ComfyUI writes one into the pictures and videos it saves itself; a picture from elsewhere, or one sent through a chat app, usually has none."
