better meta for sites like CivitAI

[yo1nkers]

Hi. Been noticing the grand improvements with metadata lately - it used to be that prompt & negative prompt were not detected when you'd upload an image to CivitAI, now it appears this is no longer the case and I am growing ever more grateful for SwarmUI

I'd love if base model, LoRA & adetailer hashes were considered with the output metadata, the CivitAI detection is quite good but it appears that SwarmUI formats diffusion models, loras & adetailers within the meta in a very different way to what CivitAI is used to.

Just an idea, nothing serious to consider, but it would really make it easier for us few who are using SwarmUI's comfy frontend to train LoRAs as we post the image results to civitai, so others can see the models we use along with adetailers and loras.

Swarm format's model list and hashes in a very convenient way if enabled in server settings https://github.com/mcmonkeyprojects/SwarmUI/blob/master/docs/Image%20Metadata%20Format.md#sui_models
You'd have to ask civitai to support it, there's nothing more to be done on Swarm's end

If this doesn't seem practical to you I understand as it's a third party unrelated website, but it would be a really nice addition. Perhaps there could be a setting within Swarm Internal & User Settings to turn on and off the differentiating metadata parameters.

I have been using this for metadata conversion with SwarmUI, it works amazingly, but if you save those images within the main folders that Swarm use, it will create errors which I have previously reported on

Was not expecting such a fast response here. While I'm sure changes can be done as assumed by what I said just above the quote, I understand if you don't care to or if these are not practical changes on your end. I'll contact Maxfield to discuss full meta compatibility with CivitAI.

Did I have a stroke or did you? Re-read what I wrote. There is no possible change Swarm can make, it already outputs everything. It's already there. The metadata exists. It's in the file. The image file? It has metadata in it. That convenient format? It's there. Those hashes? You betcha. What models are you using? Metadata sure does tell you. You can't feature request a feature that already exists.

So, essentially what you're saying is that CivitAI handles the meta, even though SwarmUI structures it in the way that would resulting in CivitAI not reading it...

If you didn't understand - There's an extension that can bloody do it so why can't you.

No need to push a disregarding aggression. If you think it's not practical, I'll talk to CivitAI themselves.

I think you have both (A) a misunderstanding of how image metadata works and (B) non-native English that is limiting clear communication on the topic.

To reiterate, again: Swarm already emits full metadata for everything relevant, the docs linked above go into quite a bit of detail on the matter. Civitai just doesn't parse all of it currently. That convert extension just fakes auto1111 metadata which civit parses better but otherwise is a deeply broken format. If you understand the technical details at all, it becomes immediately obvious why Swarm does not emit metadata in auto's format.

Swarm uses a proper metadata format, this extension just converts to the auto webui format (which is terrible for many reasons).

There's an extension that can bloody do it so why can't you.

Please be respectful.

I've already asked CivitAI but the feature is in limbo. see civitai/civitai#1392 (comment)

ps: The reason CivitAI supports some parts of the Swarm metadata is due to them implementing it, not mcmonkey.
