How to use custom paths, e.g. --input-directory

[manuelito02]

Hi there!

I'm wondering if it's possible to use custom paths when running comfyui together with the geometry_pack nodes.

I have the impression that even when I put '--input-directory /foo/bar' as a flag to launch comfyui, the geometry_pack nodes do not pick it up. Might this be due to the isolated environment in which they are executed?

In any case, when I raise an error (couldn't figure out how to get print statements passed to my terminal) like this in the load_mesh.py, as an example:

raise RuntimeError(f"COMFYUI_INPUT_FOLDER={COMFYUI_INPUT_FOLDER!r}")

I get following output:

[comfy-env]   RuntimeError: COMFYUI_INPUT_FOLDER='/uvfx/Projects/umediavfx/software/opensource/ai/comfyui/test/ComfyUI/input'

This is the 'input' folder of my comfyui installation, but I launched comfyui with --input-directory that points to another location.

Am I doing something wrong or is there anything on your side to be fixed?

The problem is that we have a centralized, multi-user setup that shares models, custom nodes and user settings and we have custom paths for everything.

Thanks for any help!
