My previous post where I thought something was wrong, but apparently "working as intended":
#620

request: using text metadata only shouldn't break or lose web UI functionality

  1. There's nothing in the user settings that indicates that this is the intended behavior. At the very least, the tooltips should indicate this -- I spent considerable time trying to diagnose this. Intuitively, a user would expect that the web UI is fully capable of reading both/either image or text file metadata.

  2. Arguably, the point of a GUI is to make things easier for the user. It seems counter-intuitive to lose some web UI functionality because the metadata is saved elsewhere.

  3. Metadata is a vital part of working with any image generation software. Losing ability to work with it in the GUI is very inconvenient.

  4. Privacy and control over data. It's entirely reasonable that people would not want metadata embedded in their images. Should these people suffer reduced functionality because of this?

A compromise: If this is too laborious to code and debug, might I suggest that the metadata text file contain the ComfyUI workflow instead? At least that way people can easily copy-paste or drag-drop it into ComfyUI if they need to re-use parameters.

Or perhaps ComfyUI metadata can be added as an additional option next to "SaveTextFileMetadata" so we can have both types saved.
