🚀 Overview

This PR introduces a new "Keep only longest video" feature for sliding window generation.

✨ New Features

Keep Only Longest Video Option

Space-Saving Feature: New GUI checkbox to enable keeping only the longest generated video during sliding window generation
Automatic Cleanup: Intelligently deletes previous shorter videos before saving new longer ones
Backward Compatible: Feature is disabled by default to maintain existing workflows
Abort-Safe: If generation is interrupted, users retain the longest video generated so far
Clean Output Management: Keeps output folders organized during extended generation sessions

Enhanced Sliding Window Pipeline

Integrated Parameter: New sliding_window_keep_only_longest parameter in generate_video function
UI Integration: Seamless checkbox control in the web interface
Smart File Management: Automatic detection and removal of shorter video files
Progress Preservation: Maintains generation progress while optimizing storage

🔧 Technical Implementation

Core Changes

GUI Controls: Added checkbox in sliding window section for user control
Parameter Pipeline: Integrated new parameter through entire video generation pipeline
File Management Logic: Implemented intelligent video cleanup system
State Management: Proper handling of file lists and UI state

File System Integration

Smart Deletion: Only removes files when new longer videos are successfully created
Path Management: Robust file path handling for cleanup operations
Safety Checks: Prevents accidental deletion of important files

🎯 Use Cases

Clean Workflows

Organized Outputs: Maintains tidy output directories
Easy Management: Reduces need for manual file cleanup
Professional Results: Delivers clean, organized final outputs

📋 Technical Details

New Parameters

sliding_window_keep_only_longest - Boolean flag for enabling cleanup mode
Integrated into UI pipeline and generation functions
Default: False (maintains backward compatibility)

File Management Logic

Detects existing video files in output directory
Compares file sizes/lengths to determine "longest"
Safely removes shorter videos before saving new ones
Updates UI file lists to maintain consistency

Error Handling

Robust file operation error handling
Safe cleanup operations with rollback capability
Graceful handling of interrupted generations

🔗 Files Changed

wgp.py - Main implementation of keep longest feature, UI fixes, and settings fix
.gitignore - Updated patterns for better repository management

Wait, it didn't already work that way?
That was one of the things I hated about framepack. There were a ton of redundant temp files littered in the output folder as it was building the final video, and it kept them there when it was done.

Recent version of framepack actually have that option now.

- Implement LCMScheduler with RectifiedFlow (LTX) dynamics - Combine Latent Consistency Model with rectified flow scheduling - Optimize for 2-8 step ultra-fast inference with Lightning LoRAs - Add proper flow matching dynamics with shift parameter support - Update UI to show 'lcm + ltx' option in sampler dropdown

Add LCM + LTX Sampler

Shouldnt this feature be a general switch in the Config Tab rather than a per model switch ?

Yea that makes more sense imo

Gunther-Schulz · 2025-09-30T23:57:36Z

Shouldnt this feature be a general switch in the Config Tab rather than a per model switch ?

Agreed, should it go in the "General" config tab?

…g tab - Added sliding_window_keep_only_longest dropdown in General config tab - Setting is now stored in server_config and persists across sessions - Removed per-model checkboxes from sliding window tabs - Access setting directly from server_config in generate_video function - Added cleanup status to sliding window info message - Default value: False (disabled) for backward compatibility

- Created shared/utils/sliding_window_cleanup.py for cleanup functions - Moved cleanup_previous_video() function to utility module - Added should_cleanup_video() helper function - Added get_cleanup_status_text() for status messages - Updated wgp.py to use the new utility functions - Improves code organization and reusability

- Updated cleanup_previous_video() to handle condition checks internally - Removed inline condition checks from wgp.py - Cleaner separation: wgp.py only has minimal GUI glue code - All business logic now contained in utility module

Gunther-Schulz · 2025-10-01T16:50:22Z

refactor done. moved the config location and moved the application logic to another file. ready to merge

deepbeepmeep · 2025-10-08T14:18:49Z

thx, but I think this could be made much simpler:
In generate_video():
with lock:
if window_no > 1 and keep_only_last_file:
old_file = file_list[-1]
file_list[-1]= path
file_settings_list[-1]=(configs if no > 0 else configs.copy())
os.path.remove(old_file)
else:
file_list.append(path)
file_settings_list.append(configs if no > 0 else configs.copy())
