RankoWriter Automator — Settings

Open your Google Flow tab first, then click "Connect to Flow tab" below (or in the popup). For each selector, click Pick on page, switch to the Flow tab, and click the matching element. Escape cancels a pick.

Selectors

Prompt input (the box you type the scene description into)

Generate button

Loading indicator (optional — spinner shown while generating)

Result image (the generated image once it's ready)

Aspect-ratio menu button (step 1: click the Flow control that opens the ratio choices)

16:9 ratio option (step 2: pick the visible 16:9 button — saved by its label, not a generic DOM path)

3:4 ratio option (step 2: pick the visible 3:4 button — saved by its label, not a generic DOM path)

Timing

Wait for you to click Generate (minutes) (Auto-run fills the prompt, then waits for you to click Generate — see README)

Max scenes in flight at once (EXPERIMENTAL, unverified above 1 — see README before raising this)

Generation timeout (seconds)

Poll interval (seconds)

Delay between scenes (seconds)

Delay jitter (% randomized +/-) (varies each wait instead of a perfectly regular interval)

RankoWriter connection

When enabled, this extension connects to a local RankoWriter process running on your machine. RankoWriter pushes scenes straight in and receives finished images back automatically — no "Load scenes.json" click and no download-folder setup needed. Falls back to the manual controls below whenever RankoWriter isn't running.

Enable live connection to RankoWriter

Port (must match RankoWriter's setting)

Output

Filename prefix

Zero-pad width

Downloads subfolder (only used when RankoWriter isn't connected — relative to Chrome's download folder)

This only applies to the manual/fallback flow (no RankoWriter connected). Chrome downloads write inside its configured Downloads folder — set that to your project's images/ folder and leave the subfolder above blank so filenames like scene_003.jpg land exactly where the pipeline expects them.

Load scenes

Loading here (instead of the popup) avoids a known Chrome quirk where opening a native file picker from an extension popup can close the popup before the dialog appears.
