🔬 Forge Grid: Sampler × Scheduler script

🚀 Better! Faster! Stronger!This update introduces settings backups, smarter file naming, and robust pair management.💾 Settings Export &amp; Import<ul><li>Before: Grid settings were lost after refreshing the page. There was no way to save complex prompts or sampler lists.</li><li>After: Added "⬇️ Download JSON" and "📂 Open" buttons. You can now export your entire setup to a file and reload it instantly with the "Auto apply on Open" toggle.</li></ul>📂 Smart Cell Saving<ul><li>Before: Individual cells were saved as <code>Sampler_Scheduler.png</code>. Running the same grid again would simply overwrite your previous renders.</li><li>After: New <code>unique_cell_filename</code> logic using <code>fnmatch</code>. The script now checks for existing files and adds a counter (e.g., <code>Sampler, Scheduler 1.png</code>) so you never lose a good generation.</li></ul>🔗 Advanced Pair Management<ul><li>Before: Custom pairs in Batch Mode were processed as-is. The list could become messy with duplicates and random order.</li><li>After: Pairs are now normalized: spaces are trimmed, duplicates are removed (case-insensitive), and the list is automatically sorted alphabetically.</li></ul>🏷️ Filename Formatting<ul><li>Before: Filenames for cells used a simple underscore separator (<code>Sampler_Scheduler</code>).</li><li>After: Switched to a cleaner comma-space format (<code>Sampler, Scheduler</code>) for both filenames and logs, making them more readable and consistent.</li></ul>🧩 Under the Hood<ul><li>Before: Basic imports and simple UI callbacks using inline lambdas.</li><li>After: Added <code>json</code> and <code>fnmatch</code> libraries. Replaced brittle logic with structured functions like <code>add_pair_normalized</code> and <code>parse_pairs</code> for better stability.</li></ul>📊 Summary. Before / After<ul><li>Settings persistence: Manual entry only → JSON Export &amp; Import</li><li>Overwrite protection: None (files overwritten) → Unique names with auto-increment</li><li>Pair organization: Unsorted list → Cleaned &amp; Alphabetical</li><li>Filename separator: Underscore (<code>_</code>) → Clean comma-space (<code>, </code>)</li><li>UI Layout: Basic fields → New "Config &amp; Presets" accordion</li><li>Code Logic: Inline lambdas → Modular parsing functions</li></ul>Grids are now more manageable, your renders are safe from overwriting, and the new preset system saves you from re-typing prompts every session. Cleaner, smarter, and more reliable.
