text metadata only option causes issues

Your question

SwarmUI v0.9.5.0

problem: when using SaveTextFileMetadata option, but NOT SaveMetadata (embed in image), metadata does not seem to show up properly within the web UI. It works fine upon first generation, but when using Image History browser, navigating away from an image with only text metadata, or reloading the web UI, it causes that metadata to no longer show up. This causes me unable to use the "Reuse Parameters" function.

setting:

When using SaveMetadata embed option (with or without text metadata), the web UI works normally as expected. Example: metadata appears, and persists even when I navigate away and back to it:

Here's how it looks with only text metadata:

Is anyone else able to reproduce this?

Also, it doesn't seem like I can drag-drop or copy-paste text metadata files into the web UI, like I can with metadata-embedded images. Is there a way to do this that I'm missing?

There's no bug, working as intended.
"text file metadata" is not intended to supply the UI with data, it's intended for users who need specific separate files. If you want the UI to load metadata from images, leave "SaveMetadata" enabled
