Share Parameters

Local Dream can share a generation's parameters through the system clipboard. This is the easiest way to send a setup between devices, hand it off to someone else, or back it up alongside an image.

Where the Share Action Lives

A share icon appears on every dialog that displays generation parameters:

  • the result page parameter detail dialog
  • the history parameter detail dialog
  • the advanced settings parameter dialog inside the generation form

Tapping it opens a Share Parameters dialog where you pick exactly which fields to copy. Only the fields you tick are written to the clipboard.

What Gets Shared

The shareable fields are:

  • prompt
  • negative prompt
  • steps
  • CFG
  • seed
  • scheduler
  • denoise strength

The generation mode (txt2img / img2img / inpaint) is also stored in the payload as metadata, but it is not applied directly — switching modes still requires you to pick the right tab and (for img2img / inpaint) provide a source image.

LDPARAMS Wrapping

The Share dialog has a Base64 encoding toggle. When it is on (the default), the JSON payload is base64-encoded and prefixed with the LDPARAMS: marker before being written to the clipboard, for example:

text
LDPARAMS:eyJfbG9jYWxkcmVhbV9wYXJhbXMiOnRydWUsInYiOjEsLi4ufQ==

The marker lets Local Dream identify a shared payload reliably and avoids parsing arbitrary text on the clipboard. With the toggle off, the same JSON is written as plain text — useful if you want to inspect or hand-edit it. The toggle state is remembered between sessions.

Auto-Import on Model Load

When a model finishes loading, Local Dream checks the clipboard once. If it contains a recognized payload (either a LDPARAMS: wrapped one or a plain JSON object produced by Share Parameters), an Apply Shared Parameters dialog appears.

In that dialog you can:

  • review the values that were found
  • tick or untick each individual field before applying
  • toggle Clear clipboard after apply so the payload is removed from the clipboard once parameters are applied

The Clear-clipboard preference is also remembered between sessions. The clipboard is only checked at the moment a model finishes loading, so if you copy a payload while a model is already loaded, switch models (or reload) to trigger the import.

Typical Use Cases

  • Reproduce a generation on another phone or for another user without retyping every field
  • Save a "known-good" combination of prompt, steps, CFG, seed, and scheduler outside the app — for example into a notes app — and paste it back later
  • Share a setup over chat (Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.) and have the recipient paste it directly into Local Dream
