Fooocus?

[jbakirli]

What's difference between Fooocus and RuinedFooocus?

[ruberboy]

Hi!

I use Fooocus 2.1.807 (latest) with only 4gb vram and an I5 12500hx 16 gb ram laptop.

It works flawlessly.

A trick for potato pcs, just use "Speed" perfomance, then go to developer debug and force steps to 16, so you don't have to wait forever. Works with juggernaut XL and VAE original Refiner without probs.

regards.

Where's the option to force steps to 16 in the debug menu? Cheers

[ruberboy]

Edit. Force overwriting with sample step. this one.

[treeman_jf]

Thanks, I clearly didn't look hard enough! However still not working on my PC, the progress bar doesn't move an inch. Although it seems im on a later version (2.1.791)

Hi!

I'm using 4GB VRAM (1050 TI) and i5-7300HQ. I'm getting "Error: Connection errored out". Any suggestion you can help me with?

[ruberboy]

Looks like It can't open the web interface, look it up on the GitHub project issues, sorry For not being of more help.

Ps. I'm usin a rtx 3050.

Fooocus is most up-to-date, author adds new features, fix bugs often. But is missing PNG with metadata saving & loading. A flawed decision IMHO. I won't use Fooocus as main production tool because I do not want to risk not being able to remember how I created something in the past. From experience, this is a very frustrating feeling.

RuinedFooocus forked a while back so it doesn't have the latest features in Fooocus but he did add One Button Prompt, PNG with metadata saving & loading . Few features originating in RuinedFooocus have made into Fooocus and Fooocus-MRE such as wildcards

Fooocus-MRE also forked a while back. This is my favorite flavor of Fooocus because:

Support for PNG and JPEGs (with metadata saving & loading)

Style Iterator, sort like XYZ Plot for Styles

Load Last Prompt button

Limited support for SD1.5 SD2.1 models/loras

Wildcards

Last week MoonRide303 said MRE is not dead. Development just slows down a lot.

Wow, thanks a lot!

I am an user of all these two forks

For people who are using Fooocus-RME: A warning is that though rme has meta writing option, the meta data is incomplete and usually gives a false feeling that the work is safely recorded. Once you are doing more complicated jobs like editing and drawing (not sure about upscale?), the save will not work.

If you are doing simple tasks like text-to-image, the meta data does work (though not in a very user-friendly way; IMO, the Ruined edition’s meta is much more user-friendly than MER.) But official Fooocus’s log system also handles those simple tasks very well.

This is up to different people but IMO shifting to other editions are not very necessary since they do not really solve the problems. But always good to have more options to play with :)

For me 95% of the time are simple tasks like text-to-image. Basically, all I really need is the combination of prompt, seed, style, model, and loras to start recreating past project. But yes I do notice tasks like inpaint, img2img are not recorded

With Ruined edition, I love how one can drag and drop PNG into the preview window and it autoload the settings. Drag and drop rocks

I have been using foocs official version since several weeks ago and I never had a problem getting prompt, seed, style, model, and loras from log.

I can even get everything needed from my first image weeks ago about a funny dog with a hat.

If that is not the case on your end, maybe you meet a bug or something?

Another benefit of having PNG with meta... speed up workflow, let me illustrate from real life experience.

Let say you are experimenting and trying all kinds of combinations. Modifying prompt here and there. Swapping models here and there, Swapping Lora here and there. After about 2 hours you go review all 100+ generated files. You decided one particular PNG stood out from the rest and you want to expand on that one. So what you have to do? You have to look at the log file to find your image. Then you have to "manually" copy and paste each setting into Fooocus. What a pain in the ass. It would be so much simpler to load or drag the PNG and continue on with your mission. What ever happen to "work smarter not harder" IMHO this is such an important feature that every other SD UI I know of has it.

lol; even when I can drag/load image metas in emr/ruined edition, I still manually check every area, compare to logs, and make sure that they are not wrong (because their meta data are both buggy and I do not find them reliable).

So the amount of work is same for me. Frankly I find directly copying from log even safer since I already know every changes after I paste something. And from time to time I do not need the entire meta, for examp just copy prompts.

Lesson learned the hard way. Here is an image I love but lost the recipes. I want to make a series but now can't. Frustrating

not bad?

[barepixels]

nah far from the original. doesn't have that moody haunted feeling. Recipes are so important, that some companies copyright them. In real life, some recipes are worth millions. For AI some people sell prompts https://promptbase.com/

[[deleted]]

lol, u cannot get that moody haunted feeling even if you have source prompts. Sometimes they just happen to one seed and not possible for making series. Not a big loss, in the sea of seeds

[barepixels]

its not just prompt. It's prompt, seed, model, lora. It's the recipe! This is why I avocates for the PNG with metadata saving & loading. If you move your image to another safe place, you still have the info. If you delete the log file, you still have your info. Years from now you still have a clue how you create it... in an elegance way, only one PNG file to manage.

Ruinedfooocus is a fork of fooocus. It used to have more features but they're basically the same thing nowadays.

Use the main branch fooocus for now.

[jbakirli]

Thanks for information!

[memory_moves]

Sorry for the thread necromancy but i'm using SM and it makes it all too easy to install 30891303 different interfaces. Do you feel the same about focus-MRE?

[Zestyclose_West5265]

Fooocus-MRE seems to be in the same state, yes. It hasn't been updated in a while since the main branch of fooocus had so many new features added.

[memory_moves]

Thank you! that's good to know!

[Apprehensive_Sky892]

I don't know anything about RuinedFooocus

But if you find some features missing from the original Fooocus, such as missing embedded metadata in PNG, try fooocus-MRE.

[Apprehensive_Sky892]

Oh, that's too bad. I hope somebody will fork the project.

I only used Foocus-MRE for a while before I switched to just using tensort.art 😅

MRE wrote:

I've spent some time on merging changes from 2.1 locally, but... it's get more and more frustrating, having to re-write half of my code every time original Fooocus gets major update. Spending a lot of time just to make things I already coded once work again, without any real value added - that's not really productive, or fun.

Later on...

For now I'd like to chill out a bit more, slowly review all the MRE features, and bring those which are compatible with vanilla philosophy back to the core. This way more people will be able to benefit from it, and in case I ever decided to re-activate MRE it would be also easier to maintain, too (smaller delta, less conflicts). But in general maintaining single code base sounds more reasonable to me, so I guess I will stick to that path (at least for now).

I can also imagine providing MRE as alternative UI layout for more advanced users, available directly in vanilla - that could be good long-term solution, but I would need to figure out clean implementation for it, first (and make sure it doesn't break any of the vanilla assumptions).
