Installation

git clone this repo to the extensions folder in your Web UI installation, or paste the its link to the extensions/Install form URL tab in WebUi
if you have the old Wildcard Gallery V1 extention consider removing before installing the new one (this a whole rebase from V1 so a clean reinstall is remcommended)
- make sure to backup a copy the folders metadata and cards if you already have those populated then copy them back to the new extension folder afterward

requirements

This extension extends on the wildcard functionality so it goes without saying that you already have the sd-dynamic-prompts extension in your WebUi ecosystem if not then you'll need to install the .
This extension was made with Gradio 3.x in mind things may break with higher versions

Settings

to limit indexation to specific wildcard branches you can add the parent activation path wildcard to the Whitelist (default behavior)
important!! you wont see any wildcard in the gallery unless you add its file name to whitelist in the webui settings and restart it
to exclude wildcards from indexation you can add their activation path to the Blacklist
you can toggle the Downscale preview images to resize and compress generated previews to take far less size on the disk

Wildcard Filter Tab

Overview

The Wildcard Filter Tab is the most notable addition in Version 2 of the Wildcard Gallery addon. Without the limitations of the previous Extra Network subtab, this tab introduces a wide range of powerful features, such as:

More advanced card filtering options
A cleaner, more resource-efficient viewer
Real-time preview channel switching
Card tagging support
Live card selection for operations (e.g., export, preview generation, tag editing)
Wildcard creation directly from within the WebUI

Tab Layout

The layout is intentionally simple and includes:

Filtering Options
Handles the creation and execution of filtering queries.
Cards Viewer
Displays filter results as cards, paginated (typically 25 per page).
- Allows card selection for future operations
- Enables card creation
- Includes a Viewer Options subsection for tag visibility, preview cycling, and card grouping
Operations Sections
Contains actions for selected cards or the entire wildcard dictionary.

Terminology

Preview Channel: A named profile that contains a different set of preview images for the wildcard dictionary. Used to visualize how wildcards behave in various prompt scenarios.
Tag Group: A logical collection of tags that share display properties (e.g., color, masking behavior).
Wildcard Sequence: An ordered set of wildcards under a shared parent, executed in a chained manner. Designed for niche cases like prompt-based storytelling.

Filter Modes

Mode: wildcard

The simplest mode. Displays a searchable dropdown of all wildcards in the dictionary.
You can select one or multiple cards.
Optionally extend the filter to include all cards with the same parent as the selected one.

Mode: selector text

Uses selector-style input (e.g., __parentA/parentB/exampleCard__) to filter results.
Wildcards can be targeted directly or via wildcard globbing:
- __parentA/parentB/*__ will show all cards under parentB.
Supports multiple comma-separated selectors (e.g., __x/y/*__, __z/card__).

Mode: tags

Filters cards based on custom user-defined tags.
Supports Inclusion Logic:
- AND: All specified tags must be present in a card.
- OR: Any of the specified tags can be present.
Tags placed in the Excluded dropdown will be used to reject cards with those tags.

Mode: prompt search

The most specific and niche mode.
Filters based on the card’s internal prompt text.
Supports Included and Excluded comma-separated terms (unordered).

Cards Viewer

This is where you'll interact with filtered results in the form of cards.

Uses pagination to ensure performance even with large datasets.
Selection mode defaults to Stacked, but can be changed to Single in the top-right corner of the viewer.

Viewer Options

Additional utilities can be accessed from the collapsed section above the card viewer:

Card Detail Panel

When you select a card, details and actions become available on the left-side panel.

Actions (available for single or multiple selections):

Copy to Clipboard: Copies the wildcard activation text for manual prompt use.
Edit Card Tags:
- Add/remove tags using the dropdown or by typing a new one.
- "Add Tag" attaches the tag; "Remove Tag" detaches it.
Favorite: Adds cards to your favorites list.
Remove: Currently disabled until card editing is fully implemented.

Information:

Tags: Full list of card tags (ignores masking).
Card Path: The virtual path of the card in the dictionary.
Prompt: The raw prompt text embedded in the wildcard.
File: The physical location of the wildcard file.
Protected: Indicates whether the card is protected from editing (feature not yet implemented).
Channels: Lists which preview channels contain this card.

Operations Sections

Import Wildcard Pack: Imports a Wildcard Pack zip into the dictionary (including all of it metadata and perviews)
Export as Wildcard Pack: Export the selected cards (or all filtered results) as a valid Wildcard Pack
Tag Groups: Create new Tag Groups or edit existing ones by adding member tags and setting tag colors
Misc Actions

Wildcard Preview Utils

This is a txt2img script used in conjunction with the Wildcard Filter Tab to automate preview generation and deployment for multiple wildcards within the dictionary. It also provides additional utilities depending on the selected script mode.

Disabled: Bypasses script logic and generates images normally.
Batch Prompting: Uses the selected (or filtered) wildcards from the Wildcard Filter Tab to generate images for each wildcard individually.
- Setting Prompt Usage Mode to Combine Cards will instead generate a single image using all selected wildcards.
Sequence Generation: Generates all images for a sequence-type wildcard in the correct order.
- Simply select any wildcard that belongs to the sequence — the entire sequence will be generated automatically.
Preview Generation: Generates and assigns preview images to the selected (or filtered) wildcards.
