What is List?

List is a mechanism for handling multiple data as a "single group".

While Queue executes "the same workflow multiple times", List processes multiple inputs sequentially in a single execution.

  • Queue
    • Executes the same workflow repeatedly from the outside
  • List
    • Processes multiple inputs sequentially on the inside

It is easier to understand if you think of it as the difference between "Pressing Run multiple times" and "Pouring multiple inputs in a single Run".

Creating and Retrieving a List

Create List Node

This node lets you assemble a List manually. It combines values of any type, such as images, text, or numbers, into a single List.

create_list.json
  • Connecting a node adds another slot, so you can include as many items as needed.

Get Item From List Node

Retrieves one item at any position from a List.

get_item_from_list.json
  • index: Position to retrieve (0, 1, 2...)

Behavior when there are multiple Lists

image2image_2list_3list.json

For example, let's consider the following situation in image2image:

  • List of images: 3
  • List of prompts: 2

At this time, you might think "3 x 2 = 6 images likely", but the actual behavior is "proceeding in step".

  • 1st image x 1st prompt
  • 2nd image x 2nd prompt
  • 3rd image x 2nd prompt is reused

In other words, only 3 images are generated.
