Prerequisites

  • I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits
  • I have read the documentation and this feature is not already available
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features combined)

Problem Statement我的python env 目录很大。同样我的ComfyUI目录也很大。
同时我有多个python env,为了切换验证,为了能跑不同环境不同节点功能我必须这么做。

现在用客户端版本,我不能单独指定这两个目录,现在是基于base path来确定所有。

Proposed Solution开始安装页面或者重装页面,可以单独指定env目录和comfyui目录

Potential workflow第一次安装要指定。
重装要指定。

Impact LevelMedium (Nice to have)

Alternatives ConsideredNo response

Additional informationNo response

Thank you for considering this feature. Separating the two would make resolving dependencies easier. Most custom nodes are working for me, but I'd be able to resolve issues if I were able to specify a different Python version.
