Open Prompts Studio — User Manual

The button language

• 📝 — send this text to the Studio composer
• ⭐ — save this prompt to the Gallery shelf (permanent)
• ➕ — add this prompt to the Batch queue (this session)
• ⛶ — open the full-size lightbox
• 🗑 — delete / move to trash

Getting started

• Search, browsing, saving and the Prompt Builder work with zero extra software.
• LM LM Studio with “Start Server” enabled adds the 🪄 optimizer. Set Max idle TTL low (1 min on SSD/NVMe) so idle models don't eat VRAM.
• C ComfyUI adds 🖼️ previews and 🎞️ batch rendering.
• First run: pick a UI Size (sidebar top). It persists between sessions.
• Previews and batch images land in Desktop\OPS_Previews, each with a .json (exact workflow) and .txt (recipe) sidecar.

First Flight — a 20-minute guided tour

Touch every control once. LM/C steps need those servers running.

Studio

1. Set UI Size to Large; confirm everything scales; set it back.
2. Set Number of results to 15; tick Show similarity scores.
3. Search “moebius desert city”. Read a score.
4. Card #1: 📝 (composer fills), ➕ (queued), ⭐ (saved).
5. Open 📚 system prompts; in the Krea2 expander, type a new slot name, paste any text, ➕. Select it as active.
6. 🪄 Optimize LM. When the block appears: ➕ and ⭐ on the optimized row.
7. Tick Modifier Explorer; pick a category; type 3 letters in Filter; tick Only show filtered; click two chips.
8. ✂️ Save to My Modifiers: paste a fragment, save it, then find it as a chip under “personal”.
9. 🪄 Optimize Composed LM; 🖼️ Preview Raw C. Watch the 🎞️ badge; when the image lands, ⛶ it. Note the seed box now shows the seed that was used.
10. CLIP: type a vibe (“neon rain, cinematic”) and 🔎 CLIP Search.
11. Sidebar: aspect 16:9; watch the pixel caption; nudge Scale; tick Fix seed, then untick it.

Builder

12. Open Prompt Builder; expand Krea2; load a template; change two fields; flip Prose/Structured; admire the preview.
13. ⭐ it, then 📝 it (composer now holds your built prompt).

Batch

14. Open Batch: the queue already holds your ➕ items.

16. ⭐ Load saved prompts (deduped merge).
17. 🗑 one entry you don't want.
18. Pick model / aspect / steps; tick Fixed starting seed (1234).
19. ▶ Start batch C. Watch thumbs land; ⛶ one; 📝 another.

Gallery

21. Filter by a word from one of your prompts; clear it.
22. Open ⭐ Saved prompts: 📝 one entry; ➕ another.
23. Inspect the newest image: read the recipe; ⛶ Full size.
24. 📝+️ Send & restore → Studio opens with the prompt in the composer and the sidebar matching the recipe.
25. Back to Gallery, Inspect again: 📂 Load workflow (toast), then ➕ Add to Batch queue.

27. Studio: open the Custom Workflow dropdown — your loaded workflow is selectable.

You have now touched everything. Go make weird things.
