Stable Diffusion webui Infinite Image Browsing

It's not just an image browser, but also a powerful image manager. Precise image search combined with multi-selection operations allows for filtering/archiving/packaging, greatly increasing efficiency. It also supports running in standalone mode, without the need for SD-Webui.

If you need to view images generated by ComfyUI/Fooocus, please refer to https://github.com/zanllp/sd-webui-infinite-image-browsing/issues/202.

If you need a Dockerfile, you can refer to this link. https://github.com/zanllp/sd-webui-infinite-image-browsing/discussions/366

As a desktop application (without SD-webui and Python):

The executable version also supports ComfyUI/Fooocus.

Download and install the program from the releases section on the right-hand side of the repository page. If the antivirus detects a virus, it can be ignored as a false positive.

If you need to compile it yourself, please refer to https://github.com/zanllp/sd-webui-infinite-image-browsing/blob/main/.github/workflows/tauri_app_build.yml.

As a Library Usage:

Use iframe to access IIB and use it as a file browser for your application. Refer to https://github.com/zanllp/sd-webui-infinite-image-browsing/blob/main/vue/usage.md

Preview

Image Search

During the first use, you need to click and wait for the index generation. For my case with 20,000 images, it took about 15 seconds (with an AMD 5600X CPU and PCIe SSD). For subsequent uses, it will check whether there are changes in the folder, and if so, it needs to regenerate the index. Usually, this process is very fast.

Image search supports translation, see https://github.com/zanllp/sd-webui-infinite-image-browsing/issues/39 for more detail. Feel free to share files for other languages to facilitate everyone's use.

Full Screen Preview

In full-screen preview mode, you can also view image information and perform operations on the context menu. It supports dragging, resizing and expanding/collapsing .

If you, like me, don't need to view the generation information, you can choose to simply minimize this panel, and all contextual operations will still be available.
