Why Say Goodbye to the Third-Party Extension
Performance Issues
Third-party extensions require heavy translation checks during every UI update, leading to system performance degradation or error occurred.
- Node search lag: UI responds slowly each time a new node is searched.
- Set open delay: There is a serious delay when users operate the setting or add a custom node.
- Performance bottlenecks persist even when other extensions are turned off.
Compatibility Challenges
- DOM Structure Dependency: Third-party extensions based on specific front-end DOM structure, a slight update to the interface may cause the translation to fail.
- High Maintenance Costs: Once the UI structure changes, manually fixing compatibility issues becomes commonplace. Sometimes it needs to restart ComfyUI.
Other Limitations
- Node Translation Delay: Translation often lags after a new node definition is updated.
- Workflow Export Issues: Translation cannot be persisted. You may still need to use google translate or other language translation tools.
- Sync Lag: Third-party extensions have difficulty keeping up with ComfyUI system update pace.
