Standalone users previously had to hand-edit settings.json to configure
primary folder_paths. Add a standalone-only Model Paths section to the
settings modal:
- Backend exposes standalone_mode, folder_paths (with template placeholder
values filtered out) and a data-driven folder_path_schema derived from
OTHER_MODEL_FOLDER_SUBTYPES via GET /api/lm/settings
- The new section renders multi-path editors per model type from the
schema, with inline enable_other_models / sub-type controls so other
model types are configured without leaving the tab
- Persistent restart-required cues after a save: nav dot, inline notice
and a global banner (unique id per change so dismissals don't mute
future reminders)
- The missing-model-paths startup banner and the Other Models no-paths
empty state now deep-link into the new section instead of pointing at
settings.json
The standalone empty state showed the folder_paths keys but not where to
put them, and its Open Settings button led to a modal that cannot edit
primary folder paths. Now the page shows the real settings.json path and
an Open Settings Folder button backed by the existing open-location API.
Also stop open_settings_location from claiming success on headless Linux
sessions: with no DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAY, xdg-open cannot work, so the
handler now returns clipboard mode and the browser copies/shows the path
instead.
A model file could only ever be linked to huggingface.co: `set_hf_url`
validated the URL with a huggingface-only regex, the agent fetched the card
from a hardcoded HF URL, and the readme processor built every relative image
path off `https://huggingface.co/{repo}/resolve/main`. ModelScope publishes the
same model-card convention (README.md + YAML frontmatter, often carrying
`base_model:` and `trigger_words:`) behind a public, key-less API, so the
enrichment pipeline could already serve it - it was the plumbing that was
HF-shaped, not the idea.
Make the external source a first-class, provider-driven concept:
- New `py/services/model_sources/` registry. A `ModelSource` owns URL
recognition (lenient for stored values, strict for user input), the
canonical page URL, model-card fetching, the asset base URL and the
capability flags. `HuggingFaceSource` is the previous logic relocated;
`ModelScopeSource` reads `/models/{o}/{n}/resolve/{master|main}/README.md`
and falls back to `/api/v1/models/{o}/{n}/repo`. `TensorArtSource` is
link-only on purpose: tensor.art answers plain HTTP clients with a
Cloudflare challenge and its internal API (ap-east-1.tensorart.cloud /
cn.tensorart.net) rejects every /v1/model/* route with "invalid
authorization header", so it declares supports_enrichment=False rather than
failing silently later.
- Metadata gains `source_platform` + `source_url`; `hf_url` stays as a
read/write alias, written only for Hugging Face, so existing sidecars,
cached rows and third-party consumers keep working. Normalisation runs at
the scanner, the persistent cache (both directions, plus two new columns
behind an ALTER migration) and the linking handler - which is what stops a
user who switches sources from leaving a stale `hf_url` on a ModelScope
model.
- The agent pipeline keys off the provider instead of `hf_url`: the fast-fail
gate now explains *why* a model is skipped (no source / unknown source /
source without a reachable card), the prompt context exposes
source_url/source_id/source_label/asset_base_url while still filling the
legacy hf_url/repo aliases, and the four README image extractors take a
base_url (defaulting to HF) so relative paths resolve against the right
site. Version grouping generalises to hf: / ms: / ta: keys.
- `POST /api/lm/set-hf-url` keeps its path and its legacy payload keys but
accepts `source_url`, validates against every provider and returns the
platform. `GET /api/lm/model-sources` lets the UI render the supported-site
list from the server.
- Frontend: a `modelSourceHelpers` mirror of the registry drives the link
dialog, the card/modal globe (branded "View on ModelScope/TensorArt"), the
version-group key and the enrichment gate; the versions tab no longer sends
ms:/ta: keys to the CivitAI API.
TensorArt stays in the list because provenance is worth keeping even when the
card is unreadable - the dialog says so plainly ("Sites that don't expose one
(currently TensorArt) can only be linked") and the context menu disables
enrichment with a matching tooltip, instead of the user getting
"Unsupported URL".
Verified against the real ModelScope API: jj3550945163/Krea-2-LORA returns a
1882-byte card whose frontmatter carries base_model/tags/trigger_words, and
relative images resolve to .../resolve/master/....
Tests: backend 2815 passed; frontend 1130 JS + 91 Vue passed; pytest
tests/i18n and a Jinja compile pass over templates/. The nine locales carry
[TODO: Translate] for the new strings, completed in the next commit.
Other Models management is opt-in and its folders come from
folder_paths.get_folder_paths(). In plugin mode ComfyUI registers vae,
upscale_models, text_encoders, clip_vision and controlnet out of the box, so
enabling the feature works immediately. Standalone only knows the keys present
in settings.json.folder_paths, and that file is edited by hand - there is no UI
for those keys - so a standalone user who followed the announcement banner
reached "Enable Other Models" and then an empty page.
Gate the announcement on the capability instead of on how the process was
started:
- Config.get_other_models_availability() probes every canonical other key
(legacy clip collapses into text_encoders where the host exposes
map_legacy) and reports which sub_types resolve to a folder that exists on
disk. It deliberately ignores enable_other_models: the question is "could
this work here at all?". An empty folder counts, because CivitAI downloads
can target it.
- /api/lm/settings exposes it as the derived, non-persisted
other_models_paths_available flag; a probe failure yields null and the
banner fails open.
- BannerService only registers the announcement when the flag is not false.
`=== false` (not falsy) keeps a cached/older payload working, and nothing is
written to dismissed_banners, so the banner can return once folders exist.
- The Other page grows an "enabled but nothing to scan" empty state driven by
config.other_roots, showing the settings.json snippet for standalone and a
pointer to ComfyUI model paths otherwise, plus an Open Settings action. It
also covers the corner where only a non-default sub_type has a folder.
Translate the six other.noPaths.* keys into all nine locales and record the
new "folder key" / "on disk" terminology in the i18n guidelines.
Backend tests and pytest tests/i18n could not run in this environment (no
pytest/platformdirs); the probe was exercised against a stubbed folder_paths.
Frontend: 120 files / 1101 JS tests passed.
- The Other nav entry is hidden while the feature is off
(nav-item--hidden, toggled client-side after enabling) and now uses the
fa-shapes icon.
- Shared utils/otherModels.js helpers (enable through the settings API,
open the settings Library section) are reused by the disabled page, the
announcement banner and the download modal.
- BannerService registers a one-time dismissible "other-models-announcement"
banner while the feature is off; SettingsManager drops the banner and
updates the nav when the master switch flips.
- A disabled download routing answer now surfaces a showActionToast with an
"Enable Other Models" action.
- Settings UI: master toggle + five sub_type checkboxes whose default-root
selects are disabled when unchecked; i18n keys added to en.json and synced
(other locales keep TODO placeholders).
