Bring back the old Queue Panel with image previews.
English | 繁體中文
The new ComfyUI frontend (v1.33.1+) removed the sidebar Queue Panel with image previews and replaced it with a minimal queue list at the top. This change left many users without an easy way to browse generation results at a glance.
comfyui_queue_sidebar brings back the old queue panel to the sidebar as a custom node — no frontend file modifications required.

- Works alongside the built-in bottom-panel queue without conflicts
- The plugin uses the public extension API for registration and events. It additionally hooks a small number of internal APIs (e.g.
app.queuePrompt, sidebar tab ordering) to provide a seamless experience — all such integration points are centralized incomfyAdapter.jswith feature detection and graceful degradation if the upstream shape changes
