Doesn't a1111 already do this? Theres a PNG Info tab where you can drag and drop a PNG and it will pull all the prompt, inverse prompt, model, etc. And then a button to send it to the main generation tab. It doesn't automatically load the model, but that may be intentional because of how long it takes to change loaded models.

Not that provides the same thing, no, largely because of fundamental design differences.

A1111 by nature, has a bunch of disconnected operations in separate tabs and scripts. Even if the PNG captures all of a generation operation that would be executed by a single launch-button click, its not really equivalent to capturing a whole ComfyUI workflow, which can be the equivalent of a process which would be numerous different tasks in A1111 with manually shuttling data between tabs and scripts.

A1111 has a bunch of manual "send to X" buttons to do with the output of runs, so that they can be the input of another task, wherein in Comfy those operations are part of one workflow with a pipeline connecting the output of one to the input of another. And when saving generation data, those manual shuttle points in A1111 are barriers as to what is part of a single generation that can be saved.


Comfy is node based. The saved metadata pulls up the full nodal workflow.
