Where do I put wildcards and what is the prompt syntax?

MooshieUI does not use the classic __filename__ text-file wildcards or {red|blue|green} inline syntax. Wildcards are a mode of Prompt Presets.

1. Open the bottom panel, go to the Artist Styles manager, then the Presets tab. Create a preset and put each choice on its own line (commas within a line stay grouped).
2. Either activate the preset with a Wildcard (random) or Wildcard (in order) mode, or drop the inline token @[Chunk Name] (or @preset:<slug>) anywhere in your prompt to roll it at that exact spot.

Full details: Prompting Guide.

How do I recover the prompt/settings from an image I made earlier?

Drag or paste the PNG back into MooshieUI. It reads the embedded metadata and fills in your settings. If the image has no embedded metadata, use image interrogation to reverse-engineer tags. See Gallery and Metadata and Prompting Guide.

How do I queue many variations at once?

Use a Wildcard (in order) preset (the Generate button can queue the whole ordered run), or use the Compare Grid for explicit per-cell parameter sweeps.

Can I run this on my phone?

Yes. Run MooshieUI in server mode and open it in your phone's browser; there is a dedicated mobile layout. See Server, LAN and Multi-User.

ComfyUI is on a cloud GPU. Can I still use the desktop app?

Yes, as a thin client against a remote ComfyUI. See the remote/cloud section of Installation.

A model is not detected correctly. Why?

Models are identified by SHA256 hash, not filename, so renames are fine. If an architecture is misdetected, check that it is one of the supported families in Models and the Model Hub. Architecture support grows between releases, so the in-app behavior is the source of truth.

Generation fails with a quantization format error. What now?

A quantized model is saved in a particular format, and ComfyUI can only load the formats its own version knows about. If generation stops with a message naming a format such as int8_tensorwise or convrot_w4a4, the installed ComfyUI predates that format. Click Update ComfyUI under Settings > Performance to move to the version MooshieUI currently pins, or use a non-quantized version of the model.

How do I report a bug?

Click the bug icon in the left sidebar (just below the connection indicator) to open Report a problem any time. Add a note and submit, and your app version, OS, and recent logs are bundled and filed as a GitHub issue for you, no GitHub account required. Nothing is sent unless you submit. If a problem is upscale or generation related, running the affected action first so it's captured in the logs helps a lot. See the diagnostics notes in Settings and Accessibility.

Where are the contributor/build docs?

In the repo: README.md, push-instructions.md, and CHANGELOG.md.
