Prompt Pixaroma — Unicode / Cyrillic Tags + Fast Large Library Patch
Unofficial community patch for the Prompt feature in ComfyUI-Pixaroma.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by Pixaroma.
This patch started with one simple problem: Prompt Pixaroma only accepted ASCII-style tag names, so Cyrillic/Russian tags were stripped or could not be expanded correctly. Once a large real-world tag library was imported, two more bottlenecks became obvious: category navigation and performance.
v1.5 turns Prompt Pixaroma into a much more practical tag system for large multilingual libraries.
What it adds
Unicode / Cyrillic tag support
- Russian/Cyrillic and general Unicode names for @tags and #lists.
- Unicode-aware parsing and autocomplete for @, #, and * tokens.
- Multi-word imported tag names are normalized into token-safe hyphenated names.
- Russian and multi-word categories can be used as wildcard categories through safe aliases.
Category browser in autocomplete
Typing @ or # can show categories as clickable entries. Open a category to browse only the tags/lists inside it, then return to all categories when needed.
This is especially useful when the library has hundreds or thousands of entries and you do not remember every tag name.
Faster autocomplete for large libraries
- Empty @ / # views show categories instead of rendering the entire library.
- Category counts are calculated in one pass.
- Global search still searches the full library, but renders at most 100 matches at once.
- Popup cleanup is deferred after hiding so closing feels immediate.
Faster fullscreen Tag Library
The stock editor creates an editable card for every tag when opening All tags. With a large library, that means thousands of inputs, textareas, buttons and event handlers at once.
This patch changes that behavior:
- 80 editable cards are created initially.
- Show more loads the next page.
- Search still covers the entire library.
- Category counts are calculated in one pass.
- Search rendering is debounced.
- Close-time duplicate/name validation is linear instead of effectively quadratic.
- The editor hides immediately when closing before cleanup/saving work continues.
Compatibility
User-tested: ComfyUI-Pixaroma 1.4.171
Source-checked: ComfyUI-Pixaroma 1.4.172
The installer validates expected source fragments before writing. If an upstream update changes the relevant code, the installer is designed to abort instead of blindly modifying unknown source.
The patch is cumulative: you do not need any previous release.
Installation
1. Close ComfyUI completely.
2. Extract the downloaded ZIP.
3. Run APPLY_PATCH.bat.
4. If auto-detection does not find Pixaroma, point the installer to your ComfyUI-Pixaroma folder.
5. Restart ComfyUI.
6. Hard-refresh the browser with Ctrl+F5.
A backup is created before files are modified.
Restore / uninstall
Run RESTORE_PATCH.bat and follow the prompts.
