This issue is a list of various small things that could be improved, and random things that can be added.

The "small things" part is basically here to serve as a grab-bag of things for people looking to contribute to the project.
If you're wondering "but these are small and easy, why don't you just do them yourself?", two reasons:

• 1: I want to encourage contribution. Swarm is free and open source, I don't get paid for this. I don't want to develop this project all alone, and having easy things to fix is a great way for new contributors to get started.
• 2: Even small things take time. Finding where in the code to do it, editing it, testing it, testing for possible regressions, making sure the choices made about how to do it were right, etc. It takes time, and when you add up all the things to do... there's more things to do than time in the day for 1 person.

The "random ideas" part is things which aren't important enough to warrant a feature request on their own, but might be interesting.

ComfyUI Updates

• Comfy now has /api/ routing prefix. Swarm should use this
• port more of the SwarmKSampler features to work with SamplerCustomAdvanced

Debugging and wotnot

• detect zip/ckpt header when safetensors fails to load and give a better error message for wrong file extensions
• network diagnostics in resource usage section of the Server tab - eg total number of connections, etc.

UI Improvements

• refresh button should disable+reenable when refresh ends, as a visual indicator. Maybe a loading symbol?
• put cascade latent compression behind a cascade feature lock and move to regular Sampling (ie match flux guidance handling)
• param group naming parens, eg Init Image (Img2Img) with that little gray-out effect that I have in dropdown selectors
• loras in a preset should add not replace
• preset names should be filtered to use filename-compatible IDs internally (eg no wonky slashes)
• Path settings change should force a client modellist refresh just to avoid confusion
• update options: way to update to latest release vs latest dev (via git calls)
• more control over comfy & comfy node updates. Button to trigger an update check manually (next to the swarm button?) a swarm-managed node listing tab, etc.
• Details view format should be more configurable on what the table includes / order / etc

Internal Improvements

• comfyuicustomworkflow param should work just like raw workflow for parameter autogeneration - setup and run custom workflow via API #383
• don't emit "//cid=" syntax in output prompt (to avoid original_prompt when there's no change for segments)
• figure out more direct video file management internals, eg directly embedding metadata to animated webp, mp4, etc. files rather than a separated json
