MODELS NOT BEING DETECTED EVEN THOUGH YAML HAS DIR's ADDED

My post in discord.

As you can see, in the program it’s listed with “_paths”

I think it’s unable to find the correct file because it’s not there. I’m about to test to see if the original yaml is detected, the one with the original name i.e. “extra_model_paths.yaml”

The test was not successful. It did not detect that yaml nor read from it. This is a major bug.(edited yaml not detecting other model directories)

The ONLY partial way I found around this is to make a symbolic link in the my documents/comfyui folder replacing the models folder in there with the model folder link that has models in it already, but I’m still missing the models that I have on other drives.

Hi there,

There are two distinct files:

  1. The original file from ComfyUI, extra_model_paths.yaml. Typically you would edit this example file and leave it in the same place as main.py.
  2. The config file used exclusively in the desktop app, extra_models_config.yaml. This is generated and maintained by the desktop app. This lives in %APPDATA%\ComfyUI on Windows. Other locations are in the user guide.

If you are not seeing models in custom nodes, they likely need to be updated to support multiple paths. Please let us know which ones! We can likely help the authors get them updated.

If you are not seeing models loaded in core ComfyUI nodes, though, then that is a bug in desktop.
