Custom naming for multiple comfyUI instances

Open vicentecarro opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Feature Idea

A lot of Comfyui users, use comfyui in active development, in such escenarios is rather normal to have several instances of comfyui totally independent from each other (living in different folders) coexsiting. In our case we have almost a dozen instances. So when you launch those services, the only way to know in which instance you are working is the port number, and that's not good, specially for artists and testers.

We would need a way to add a customized name or (icon) color to the tab and the visible top header within the UI, maybe next to "comfyUI" at the top left. That should do it.

If you want to go the extra mile, having a custom color for the background of each instance would be great.

Existing Solutions

AFAIK there is no easy, maintainable, way of doing it.

Why is port and ip not enough? Non-tech savvy people don't use ComfyUI.

Actually, we don't need this feature anymore, that was months ago. On the other hand, I wouldn't be too sure that only tech-savvy people use comfyu. In fact I know a lot of regular (non-tech-savvy) artists that use it at work (managed by an IT or equiv.) This feature was for instances in which you need to have one regular comfyui and maybe another one (or more) for 3D custom nodes. For the artists, it's better to easily see which one they are dealing with (with text and colors or images), and we couldn't rely on them checking the port number.
