After migrating to centralized sidecar storage users had no indication
where their files went, and portable-mode installs silently placed the
sidecar root inside the plugin folder where a reinstall or git clean
would delete it.
- Migration now also covers models excluded from the library view and
returns the resolved sidecar root in its result payload
- get_settings exposes the resolved sidecar root, whether it is the
default, and whether it lives inside the installation folder
- New POST /api/lm/sidecars/open-location endpoint opens (or copies)
the sidecar storage folder
- Settings UI always shows the effective storage path with an
open-folder button, and warns when the root is inside the
installation folder (portable-mode hazard)
- Migration confirmation shows the destination; on completion a result
dialog summarizes moved/skipped/conflict counts with the storage
location and an open-folder action
- Ignore /sidecars/ at the repository root so portable-mode sidecars
are never committed
Refs #1045
Add an opt-in 'centralized' sidecar storage mode alongside the default
'alongside' layout. In centralized mode, .metadata.json sidecars and
preview assets live under a configurable root (sidecar_storage_path,
default <settings_dir>/sidecars), mirroring the library-relative
directory structure: <root>/<library>/<root_basename>/<rel_dir>/.
Backend:
- settings: sidecar_storage_mode / sidecar_storage_path with validation;
changing either refreshes the preview allowlist
- config: centralized root added to preview-serving allowlist
- lifecycle: delete / move / rename / folder-rename / folder-delete and
undoable-delete staging all operate on the mirror tree in centralized
mode (model files themselves never move); EXDEV-tolerant cross-
filesystem moves
- scanners: pending-hash filesystem scan walks the mirror tree in
centralized mode; preview discovery reads from the sidecar dir;
.civitai.info stays co-located in both modes
- migration: SidecarMigrationUseCase moves sidecars+previews between
layouts both directions (keep-newer conflict resolution, preview_url
rewriting, WebSocket progress), exposed as POST+GET
/api/lm/sidecars/migrate with a mode guard (force=true for the
settings-first flow)
Frontend:
- settings modal: sidecar storage section (mode select + path input with
browse/validation), mode-change confirmation offering immediate
migration (force=true), and a 'Migrate Sidecars Now' action
- i18n keys synced to all locales ([TODO: Translate] placeholders)
Docs: metadata-json-schema.md gains a storage-location section;
AGENTS.md records the sidecar_paths helper convention.
Redefine the empty download filename template from a no-op to a bulk
revert: FilenameTemplateUseCase resolves the target from each model's
recorded original_file_name sidecar entry (skipping models without one),
which resolves follow-ups 1 and 2 with a single coherent semantic shared
by the download and bulk-apply paths.
Also replace the browser-native confirm() with a self-managed
confirmation modal (filenameTemplateConfirmModal) that stacks above the
settings modal, since ModalManager would close the settings modal when
opening a registered one.
Folders created from the sidebar had no in-app way back out: the only
removal path was to leave ComfyUI, delete the directory by hand and
rescan. A typo'd folder also polluted the move/download destination
picker permanently, since it reads the same all_folders source.
Adds POST /api/lm/{prefix}/delete-folder, restricted to directories
whose subtree holds no model weight files — a folder-level cascade would
bypass the per-model lifecycle bookkeeping (metadata sidecars, previews,
cache entries, pending-delete staging, recipe references). The service
walks the directory itself instead of trusting the possibly stale cache,
reports what it would remove (models / files / subfolders / symlinks),
and refuses library roots, top-level symlinks (shutil.rmtree rejects
those) and folders holding a staged delete, whose manifest would be
invalidated by the move. Symbolic links inside the subtree are counted
but never followed.
ModelScanner.remove_known_folder mirrors add_known_folder: the removed
subtree leaves all_folders while ancestors are kept (every recorded
ancestor exists on disk in its own right), stale cache entries under the
prefix are purged and the folder list recomputed. The handler broadcasts
models_changed so destination pickers drop the folder too.
The sidebar entry is a destructive context-menu item. The modal opens in
a confirm state for model-free folders and an explanatory one when the
subtree still holds models, decided from the models-only set that already
dims empty nodes; a stale tree is caught by the 409 not_empty/busy
conflict. Truly empty folders get the existing 20s undo affordance,
implemented by re-creating the directory.
Replace the post-run toast cascade and the standalone L4 results modal
with a summary modal modeled on the batch download summary: 3-state
header, stat cards (matched / needs review / unresolved / errors),
an L4 review table with per-entry undo, and a copyable report. Wired
into the global, bulk and single-recipe rematch entries; complete
no-op runs keep the lightweight toast. Obsolete results-modal code,
styles and i18n keys are removed.
- Snapshot pre-rematch entry state (reconnectSnapshot) so rematched
entries can be undone via the existing restore flow
- Bulk missing-LoRA downloads mark unresolvable failures hash-invalid,
flipping those entries from download to reconnect candidacy
- Recipe modal always offers a reconnect action next to download for
missing LoRA entries
- Rematch runs collect an opt-in relaxed-matching choice (also reconnect
missing models by file name) via a pre-run options dialog on the
global, bulk and single-recipe entries
- L4 (filename-level) matches are listed in a results dialog with
per-entry undo
- Remove [LoRAs] prefix noise from conflict detail display
- Limit inline conflict groups to 5, show remainder count
- Add 'Switch to Full Path Syntax' action in conflict card
- Add confirmation modal before resolving conflicts (shows rename strategy)
- Register resolveFilenameConflictsModal in ModalManager (fix no-op showModal)
- Switch to Interface section and add highlight animation on syntax-format nav
- Sync and translate conflictConfirm strings across all 10 locales
- Added new localization keys for usage statistics, collection analysis, storage efficiency, and insights in English and Chinese.
- Updated modal templates to utilize localization for delete, exclude, and bulk delete confirmations.
- Improved download modal with localized labels and placeholders.
- Enhanced example access modal with localized titles and descriptions.
- Updated help modal to include localized content for update vlogs and documentation sections.
- Refactored move modal to use localization for labels and buttons.
- Implemented localization in relink Civitai modal for warnings and help text.
- Updated update modal to reflect localized text for actions and progress messages.
- Enhanced statistics template with localized titles for charts and lists.
