ComfyPanel v1.8.0 Release: Expanding Event-Driven Control Across Three Dynamic Viewports
Since Version 1.0, ComfyPanel has stood apart from standard API wrappers and static UI shells by being built upon a true Event-Driven Mirroring architecture. By establishing the active ComfyUI instance as the Single Source of Truth, ComfyPanel delivers real-time, bidirectional state synchronization directly inside Adobe Photoshop.
With the release of v1.8.0, we are taking this architecture a step further by expanding our core mirror engine into a flexible, Multi-Viewport Control Hub.
Three Viewports, One Unified State Engine
Building on our native event-bus integration, ComfyPanel v1.8.0 allows creators to seamlessly interface with their live ComfyUI instance across three distinct viewports—without ever losing state consistency:
- Form View (Native UXP Panel): Maps active canvas parameters into clean, native Photoshop controls. Tweak and run your workflow like a traditional PS filter without node clutter.
-
Monitor View (Embedded Live Viewport): Toggles a fully interactive
<webview>canvas directly inside Photoshop. Tweak parameters, reconnect nodes, and manage groups right beside your artwork with zero window switching. - Pro View (System Browser): Leverages a full, detached system browser environment optimized for heavy graph construction and multi-monitor setups.
Uncompromised State Integrity
Because every viewport hooks into the same underlying Event Bus rather than sending stateless background requests, triggering "Run" or toggling a group from any mode executes native frontend logic. Custom node behaviors, Vue patches, and pre-run hooks remain completely intact regardless of which view you choose to control.
