RGThree Reroute No Longer Works

[murphylanga]

🐛 Issue:
The RGThree Reroute functionality, which worked flawlessly in Frontend Version v1.12.11, is now broken. Previously, users could branch connections in any direction using this feature—a brilliant and highly valued capability. However:

In v1.13.5, the connection directions between nodes were displayed correctly, but the "noodles" (wires) themselves became twisted.

Starting with v1.13.6, connections are now restricted to right-to-left only, severely limiting workflow flexibility.

✨ Feature Appreciation & Suggestion:
The RGThree nodes significantly enhance ComfyUI’s usability, and their reroute functionality is a standout innovation. We urge the team to:

Investigate why this regression occurred and restore multi-directional routing.

Consider integrating RGThree’s concepts into ComfyUI’s core—it’s too good to leave as a community addon!

🎨 Additional Praise & Inspiration:
The ComfyUI-Custom-Scripts (e.g., model thumbnail previews) demonstrate the community’s ingenuity. Features like:

Browsing/selecting models via image thumbnails in subfolders.

Cross-folder search and visual overviews.
…are game-changers. Please adopt or rebuild these ideas officially!

🙏 Final Note:
Massive respect for your hard work on ComfyUI! 🚀 But as the ecosystem grows, we humbly ask:

Keep closer track of community innovations (like RGThree or Custom Scripts).

Avoid breaking critical workflows during updates—test addon compatibility proactively.

Let’s keep ComfyUI and its ecosystem thriving together! 💪

Steps to Reproduce:

Use RGThree Reroute nodes in v1.13.6.

Attempt to create connections in non-right-to-left directions.

Expected Behavior:
Multi-directional branching, as in v1.12.11.

Current Behavior:
Connections are forced into right-to-left only.

Workaround:
Revert to v1.12.11 (but this sacrifices newer features).

Thanks for all you do—please don’t break it again! 😅

See #3151. We will convert all reroute to litegraph native reroute in 1.15.

rgthree-comfy reroute nodes are a custom node with many, many enhancements. I think this bug mentions those enhancements are now lost.

However, they are a from-scratch custom node and not a “ComfyUI Reroute” etc; @huchenlei are you saying the plan is to convert these custom nodes to LiteGraph nodes as well (and will all the additional functionality come back for all the users in that case?).
