What does index parameter in Load Image Batch node mean???

[zerobell-lee]

I was making images in batch processes, and I rebooted my PC for some reason. And I got the batch index reset.

Even though I tried specifying index parameter, such as 124. it didn't work. It starts with 0 again.

So I investigated source code.

    class BatchImageLoader:
        def __init__(self, directory_path, label, pattern):
            self.WDB = WDB
            self.image_paths = []
            self.load_images(directory_path, pattern)
            self.image_paths.sort()
            stored_directory_path = self.WDB.get('Batch Paths', label)
            stored_pattern = self.WDB.get('Batch Patterns', label)
            if stored_directory_path != directory_path or stored_pattern != pattern:
                self.index = 0
                self.WDB.insert('Batch Counters', label, 0)
                self.WDB.insert('Batch Paths', label, directory_path)
                self.WDB.insert('Batch Patterns', label, pattern)
            else:
                self.index = self.WDB.get('Batch Counters', label)
            self.label = label

it even does not use index parameter in the loader. Only when I'm doing continuous task at the same environment, I can get indices sequential. So there is no way to start with specific index.

Then, what is index parameter standing for?

Did, you, like try changing the mode to single_image? hehe

        if mode == 'single_image':
            image, filename = fl.get_image_by_id(index)
            if image == None:
                cstr(f"No valid image was found for the inded `{index}`").error.print()
                return (None, None)
