EDIT: Fixed it by removing the rgthree image comparer node from all broken workflows.

Here's a script on pastebin. Copy it into a file named Fix.py (or whatever). Create a folder and copy all your workflows into it. Right click inside the folder and open a terminal, and type:

python.exe Fix.py    

This will make new workflow files in a folder called "fixed". They should work as normal but without the Image Comparer node. That's all that script does, and only for that specific node. I won't offer any support beyond that. It's just some trash script I was able to "vibe code" with ChatGPT so use at your own risk and BACKUP YOUR WORKFLOWS FIRST. Don't just run it in your workflow folder.

Original post:

Normally I'm used to fixing the mess after an update, using the error reporting to root out broken nodes and updating what needs to be updated. I can usually keep Comfy ticking along on duct-tape and dreams. But this time there are certain workflows that completely break the UI. Zooming in just zooms in on the text on some nodes, the interface stops responding in some areas (but weirdly not others, like the legacy node manager). In one instance it did a sort of infinite hall of mirrors effect with the whole workflow getting progressively smaller and repeating off into the top left corner. Can't click on nodes, can't see any missing node errors in the sidebar, and once I've touched one of these broken workflow tabs, I can't go back to one of the working workflows. Previously coloured nodes just show as big coloured rectangles with none of the usual node elements like rounded edges and borders, node points, text or sliders etc.

Tried in Firefox and Opera browsers and it's the same behaviour. Strangely, refreshing the browser allows me to access the working tabs (one of the native H3 templates), and that even runs generations just fine.

Anybody got any tips on rooting out the problem and fixing it? I did update all nodes one by one but some still show as needing updates no matter how many times I try. One thing that did appear that I hadn't seen before was a warning that Swwan conflicts with rgthree by copying code. So I uninstalled Swwan but it had no effect on my issue (there was a Swwan node in one of the affected workflows).

I'm not looking forward to doing yet another ground-up reinstall of portable, so any tips would be appreciated to help avoid that.

I've searched high and low, watched that documentary about when it first opened, scoured historical societies facebook groups, but I can't find even a reference of it anywhere.

From what I remember it sat above the clockworks food court, had a big sun as the face, and some mad contraptions that used to do things on the hour back in the day. They stopped running it about ten year before getting rid completely (I think the New Metroland renovation, or maybe when they scrapped Metroland altogether). It seems to exist only in my memories.

Any pics of it would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just a corner of it in the background, just so I know I'm not gannin potty. Cheers!

I could have sworn I knew exactly what movie this was from (I'm not going to say it yet, just to see if anyone else comes up with it independently). I can vividly picture the scene. The character is seen in closeup, walking along. Various flags are superimposed on their face, moving past to the left and right. Could be country flags, or state flags. It's an old trope to denote "character is travelling". But the gag is they are just walking down a long corridor-esque museum exhibit with various flags on angled poles on their left and right. They may have even been asked to leave by a security guard at the end. I can picture it so clearly, they're walking in a proud, semi-marching kind of way, overacting the whole "I am walking" motion.

Now, the movie I thought it was from does feature a scene similar to this, I just thought it was longer. In the actual scene there is a map shown, and the character is seen walking in the way I described, only they are seen from behind, and the objects passing by are telegraph poles and a speed sign.

Could it be a deleted extended scene? I've watched all the ones I could find from that film with no luck. Could it be a completely different piece of media that I've conflated with this movie? Am I making it up entirely?
