Model Install Path

[choseokheeee]

I set the model path to a custom path by changing the extra_model_paths.yaml

comfyui:
     base_path: /custom/path/
     checkpoints: models/checkpoints/
     clip: models/clip/
     clip_vision: models/clip_vision/
     configs: models/configs/
     controlnet: models/controlnet/
     embeddings: models/embeddings/
     loras: models/loras/
     upscale_models: models/upscale_models/
     vae: models/vae/

But when I install models using the Manager, the model is installed in the ComfyUI folder(where the main.py file exists), not the custom path i set

This still works(?), but I want to change the default installation path to a custom path

This is expected, @choseokheeee .

ComfyUI defines the main model folder to be ./models/, and can load extra models from extra_model_paths.

I'm not sure if it is appropriate for Manager to download models to a custom folder instead of to the main model folder.

1. Find the extra-model-paths.yaml File:

This file is typically located in the same directory as your main.py file (the main ComfyUI script).
2. Modify the base_path:

Open the extra-model-paths.yaml file in a text editor.

Change the base_path entry to your desired custom path:

YAML
comfyui:
base_path: /your/custom/path/
# ... (rest of the file)
Use code with caution.
content_copy
3. Restart ComfyUI:

Close ComfyUI if it's running.
Restart it, and hopefully, ComfyUI-Manager will now install models in your custom path!
Why This Might Work:

Some versions of ComfyUI-Manager might check the base_path in extra-model-paths.yaml to determine the installation location. However, this behavior is not officially documented and might not work in all cases.

Important Note:

If this doesn't work, the environment variable method (COMFYUI_MODELS_PATH) or the configuration file method (if available) are more reliable ways to change the installation path.

another workaround is to use docker, which can mount your directory as /ComfyUI/models to replace the old one.
or on Linux, delete the /ComfyUI/models and make a symbol link using ln -s <your folder> <models in Comfy>.

Is this produced by some LLMs? I feel like there's hallucination all over the place.
