Model locations

“IMMIGRATION” - what the heck is this suppose to mean when “importing” models???

I have my models on different drives, if this means that it will migrate all my models to the same drive and folder - this is ridicules. Also your “Light weight 200 meg” starter package is not 200 megs. It’s actually 5 GIGs in size. Might want to fix that as well.

So does this V1 not run off of reading a yaml like the older versions for directory suggestions, and if not does it support symbiotic links for folders. Please answer asap.

YAML was located in Appdata folder under

C:\Users(USERNAME)\AppData\Roaming\ComfyUI

Yeah maybe importing is the wrong word here. We just add your existing model folders to the yaml file path.

We still need to install pytorch after so that’s where most of the 5gb comes from.

Just going to add on here a bit. When it creates the YAML, it doesn’t add a line for an existing Ultralytics model directory. I had a couple of custom bbox models and they didn’t show up. The new models directory doesn’t have an Ultralytics directory so I copied the old one over and it still didn’t show up. Not sure where it is storing the Ultralytics models now.

Just to update this: I found the location, and copying the models here makes them available, but it gets deleted on update and then I had to copy them in there again.

C:\Users{user}\AppData\Local\Programs@comfyorgcomfyui-electron\resources\ComfyUI\models\ultralytics

Perhaps it would be helpful if from the “Model Library” tab there could be an “add path” button or something to add file paths for models to load. I had to manually create a yaml file in the following location for it to work (loading the models from my separate A1111 installation) :
“C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs@comfyorgcomfyui-electron\resources\ComfyUI\extra_model_paths.yaml”

Not sure if it work with Desktop but probably yes. You can use mklink. I just did it for old Comfy. I wanted to move f.e. LORA on my second free SSD. I just did mlink in lora folder and it works as it would be in original folder, even if it is on different SSD.
Command to link example folder from other ssd (from disk d ):
mklink /D FLUX1 “D:!AI\lora\FLUX1”

Ps1. You need cmd with admin.
