Enabling Other Models logged two warnings on a stock ComfyUI install:
Detected the same folder '.../clip' under multiple other-model categories
('.../clip' is already mapped). Keeping the first category; please fix
your path configuration.
Nothing was wrong with the configuration. ComfyUI's folder_paths rewrites
legacy names before every access (map_legacy: clip -> text_encoders,
unet -> diffusion_models) and registers both legacy directories under the
canonical key, so get_folder_paths("clip") returns exactly the same list as
get_folder_paths("text_encoders"). Both keys are in the enabled allow-list,
so the second pass hit the overlap guard for every text-encoder folder and
printed advice the user cannot act on. The path list itself was correct
(deduped), only the message was wrong.
- Config._collapse_legacy_folder_keys() drops a key when the host exposes
map_legacy and resolves it to another queried key. That is provably
lossless: an empty canonical list implies an empty alias list. The
standalone MockFolderPaths has no map_legacy and its keys are independent
settings.json entries, so every key is still queried there.
- _prepare_other_paths() now tracks the claiming sub_type alongside the
business path and downgrades a same-sub_type duplicate to debug, keeping
the warning for a genuine cross-category collision (and naming the other
category in the message).
Regression tests cover the aliased-key layout (no warning, no redundant
query, both folders still managed) and the same-sub_type duplicate, and the
opt-in test is parametrized over controlnet and clip_vision.
Other Models management is now opt-in: enable_other_models (default false)
plus the enabled_other_sub_types allow-list replace the unreleased additive
enabled_other_folders key.
- config._get_enabled_other_folder_keys() is the single scan gate; a new
refresh_other_roots() rebuilds roots and preview roots on toggle.
- ModelScanner gains a _should_keep_cached_entry() hydration hook and
on_library_changed(reconcile=...) so switching a sub_type off drops its
entries (and hash/autov3 rows) at load time and switching it on rescans.
- OtherScanner filters location-derived entries accordingly.
- Other routes reject every other type while off (or a disabled sub_type) and
expose an "other_disabled" page flag; download routing returns a disabled
marker instead of guessing; the download manager refuses other-type
downloads and default-path routing for switched-off sub_types.
- Doctor / init-status / refresh-all skip the other scanner while off; the
scanner stays registered so staged pending-deletes still merge.
- Tests updated with explicit opt-in fixtures plus new gating coverage.
Fix ~790 basedpyright errors across the test suite:
- Type stub subclasses of real production classes with super().__init__()
- Add missing generic type arguments and Dict[str, Any] annotations
- Add None guards before subscript/member access
- Adapt tests to production API changes (removed dead handlers,
PersistentModelCache.get_default, _i18n_filter_added location)
Refactor _prepare_checkpoint_paths() to return a tuple instead of having
side effects on instance variables. This prevents extra unet paths from
being incorrectly classified as checkpoints when processing extra paths.
- Changed return type from List[str] to Tuple[List[str], List[str], List[str]]
(all_paths, checkpoint_roots, unet_roots)
- Updated _init_checkpoint_paths() and _apply_library_paths() callers
- Fixed extra paths processing to properly isolate main and extra roots
- Updated test_checkpoint_path_overlap.py tests for new API
This ensures models in extra unet paths are correctly identified as
diffusion_model type and don't appear in checkpoints list.
Introduce extra_folder_paths feature to allow users to add additional
model roots that are managed by LoRA Manager but not shared with ComfyUI.
Changes:
- Add extra_folder_paths support in SettingsManager (stored per library)
- Add extra path attributes in Config class (extra_loras_roots, etc.)
- Merge folder_paths with extra_folder_paths when applying library settings
- Update LoraScanner, CheckpointScanner, EmbeddingScanner to include
extra paths in their model roots
- Add comprehensive tests for the new functionality
This enables users to manage models from additional directories without
modifying ComfyUI's model folder configuration.
When checkpoints and unet folders point to the same physical location
(via symlinks), prioritize checkpoints for backward compatibility.
This prevents the 'Failed to load Checkpoint root' error that users
experience when they have incorrectly configured their ComfyUI paths.
Changes:
- Detect overlapping real paths between checkpoints and unet
- Log warning to inform users of the configuration issue
- Remove overlapping paths from unet_map, keeping checkpoints
Fixes #<issue-number>
Replace recursive directory traversal with first-level-only symlink scanning
to fix severe performance issues on large model collections (220K+ files).
- Rename _scan_directory_links to _scan_first_level_symlinks
- Only scan symlinks directly under each root directory
- Skip traversal of normal subdirectories entirely
- Update tests to reflect first-level behavior
- Add test_deep_symlink_not_scanned to document intentional limitation
Startup time reduced from 15+ minutes to seconds for affected users.

- Centralize cache path resolution in new py/utils/cache_paths.py module
- Migrate legacy cache files to organized structure: {settings_dir}/cache/{model|recipe|fts|symlink}/
- Automatically clean up legacy files after successful migration with integrity verification
- Update Config symlink cache to use new path and migrate from old location
- Simplify service classes (PersistentModelCache, PersistentRecipeCache, RecipeFTSIndex, TagFTSIndex) to use centralized migration logic
- Add comprehensive test coverage for cache paths and automatic cleanup
Detects symlink changes at any depth, not just at root level. Uses two-tier validation:
- Fingerprint check for new symlinks
- Deep mapping validation for removed/retargeted symlinks
- Add `_entry_is_symlink` method to detect symlinks and Windows junctions
- Include first-level symlinks in fingerprint for better cache invalidation
- Re-enable preview path validation for security
- Update tests to verify retargeted symlinks trigger rescan
Add `_seed_root_symlink_mappings` method to ensure symlinked root folders are recorded before deep scanning, preventing them from being missed during directory traversal. This ensures that root symlinks are properly captured in the path mappings.
Additionally, normalize separators in relative paths for cross-platform consistency in `BaseModelService`, and update tests to verify root symlinks are preserved in the cache.
- Added threading import and optional `_rescan_thread` for background operations
- Simplified `_load_symlink_cache` to only validate path mappings, removing fingerprint checks
- Updated `_initialize_symlink_mappings` to rebuild preview roots and schedule rescan when cache is loaded
- Added `_schedule_symlink_rescan` method to perform background validation of symlinks
- Cleared `_path_mappings` at start of `_scan_symbolic_links` to prevent stale entries
- Background rescan improves performance by deferring symlink validation after cache load
