(Note - Both versions are the same plugin, just with different default settings.)<h2 id="what-is-this-acwcez55y">What is this?</h2>A custom node that adds a UI element to the sidebar allowing easy access, navigation, and use of a massive collection (100+) of LECO (Slider) LoRAs. LECOs are an amazing tool to generate variance in your output with a minimal impact to consistency, i.e. deviating form your prompt. They can also allow you access to control parts of your image without taking up CLIP space, saving your token weights for more valuable keywords. If you haven't used them, there's never been a better time to try! <img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/ced4bad0-de88-4843-83c8-5065b1eac5ae/width=525/ced4bad0-de88-4843-83c8-5065b1eac5ae.jpeg" /><h2 id="features-f400kda4h">Features</h2><ul><li>Sidebar that holds all available sliders from this node's database, already over 100!<ul><li>Right now contains almost all released Flux and Pony LECOs as of 09/17/24</li></ul></li><li>Auto detects sliders already in your workflow and on your system.</li><li>"Smart Wiring" lets you drag and drop sliders onto your canvas and start using them right away!</li><li>Use sliders worry free, all of them are configured according to author guidelines!<ul><li>Every chkpt is different, so these settings won't be perfect for everyone, but these are also changeable in settings</li></ul></li><li>Click the (i) button for instant previews and help on any slider you're not sure about.</li><li>Download any slider you're missing right from the sidebar.</li><li>Easy update button to stay up to date on new sliders!</li><li>List missing a slider you have or you make custom ones?

I STRONGLY recommend you spend a quick 5 minutes in the settings to tweak things how you want. By default the project in GitHub will show all sliders from all base models (except NSFW ones) which will probably overwhelm new users. You can easily change this in settings along with a ton of other things. Most should be self explainatory but I'll touch on a few that aren't.<ul><li>Slider Increment - Changes the amount the sliders change the model str each "tick" if you like more granular control something like .05 or .10 is good</li><li>Civitai API Key - If you want to download all slider files you'll need a Civitai API key. You can <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://developer.civitai.com/docs/getting-started/setup-profile">get one easily (and for free) from your account page</a></li><li>Ignore Set Slider Limits - I've used the author's recommend min/max for the slider settings. If you don't want me telling you how to live your life you can enable this option and it will set the min/max for all sliders to -20/20 which should be more than enough to ruin any image you're trying to generate 😛</li><li>'Fix' Reverse Sliders - There's a lot of reverse slider fans, but they can be annoying to use if you don't know they're reversed. The sidebar auto tags reversed sliders by defauly, but you can use this option to turn them into regular sliders so right is "up" and left is "down" note this doesn't change anything but the slider controls on the sidebar, it's not messing with the LECO at all (and that's a GOOD thing)</li><li>Hide Sliders Missing Model Files - Enable this option if you don't want the sidebar to show you all the sliders that exist that you don't currently have installed</li></ul><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/2d094f5c-c2da-4740-9267-d05dac597ce5/width=525/2d094f5c-c2da-4740-9267-d05dac597ce5.jpeg" /><h2 id="installation-yqz997t6t">Installation</h2><h3 id="civitai-m19730ykj">Civitai</h3><ul><li>Download the version you want depending on your base model preference (you can always change it, you don't need both versions it's just a default setting difference).</li><li>Extract the zip into your comfyui custom nodes directory</li><li>Make sure to enable the new menu in the ComfyUI settings</li><li>After install you probably want to go into Slider Sidebar Settings and configure things to your liking.

My hope is that by making them way easier to access and use with this sidebar they get some of the recognition and adoption they deserve, especially in the Comfy community. I think that with the release of Flux we might see some great LECOs built specifically for expressions, which I'm looking forward to!

ComfyUI Slider Sidebar

<ul><li>Fixed the slider drag and drop messing up the drag and drop for workflow images and json files</li><li>Added some new Flux and Pony sliders</li><li>This version defaults to showing all sliders (not just Flux or Pony) if you don't want to see them them you can turn them off in settings. I'm changing this so future updates don't have to be duplicated.</li></ul>
