can this not be trigger until node is used?
i dont need more folders
can option to select location during node setup
then if no folder exists for given choice it creates user choice
make this an optional/ different node

just some ideas...lol
but yea it does this everytime
tried copying folders to different places based on the civit script but no luck
using extra model path

Hi thx for the message.

I didn't test my nodes on windows. I made some windows code, but didn't try it. I'm never on windows.

For now CivitAI stuff is a bit of a hack from Load Image.
This is what gives you search, list and the image. (But apparently these images have to be in the "input" folder, otherwise it won't work.) That's why I have to create a link.

• can this not be trigger until node is used?
  This could be possible yeah, not sure about the impact of that yet, maybe nodes won't be initialized properly, my CivitAI code is ~1800 lines, it certainly need some rework but....

I'll take a look at that.

But are you saying that on windows CivitAi links aren't created in input folder ?
Does it really bother you having links in the input folder ? (I never open that folder manually, so i didn't think more of that.)

[tampadesignr]

lol... just thinking about other on those.. thinking in the k.i.s.s method no worries on those

but the issue with the folder every time i startup that one is front and center

normally when a node expects something somewhere and doesnt find it i add and issue go away... \

but this one got me boggled...lol

it says success every-time.. i start up... ignored it till i had time to look into it..
tried a bunch of things but no dice

i have a basic understanding of code and i know from looking at the code it suppose to copy folder from node
to a location but its not
what is it expecting to see in checkpoints?
what the folder structure it thinks its creating?
i dont see any code that would check for extra models path yaml file however dont think that the issue but i know it eventually is for those of us using that setup

[1MB4R0SS4]

same issue for me, question is how to solve it :D

[justUmen]

@1MB4R0SS4 Hi !!!!
I would love if you could answer this question :

But are you saying that on windows CivitAi links aren't created in input folder ?

[justUmen]

@1MB4R0SS4 Thx, but that's not it.
My folder contains the images, i know that. :)

I want to know if the link is created or not, inside your input folder. (ComfyUI/input) You should see a bunch of folder/links there. Do you have them ? sd1.5, sdxl_1.0, etc...

[justUmen]

Thx, I'll fix that soon.

technically same issue
now it says this each time

[justUmen]

Thx for the update.

But I didn't try to fix this issue, just the side effect of something else.
It's 6am here and I should fix this today, I will rewrite a few stuff in civitAI nodes based on your experience and advice.
I will let you know.
Thx again.

Hi again,
Does 0.74 solves your issues ?

[justUmen]

I think I was able to reproduce your issue. 0.75 solved it ?

[1MB4R0SS4]

I think I was able to reproduce your issue. 0.75 solved it ?

I updated it, this is what the error looks now:

I'm not a windows guy.... I don't get it.
I just tried on windows 11 and cmd requires admin priv, but powershell code worked fine on my machine.
On your computer, even powershell code fails ?
What do you use ? :(

[tampadesignr]

dunno know if this helps
PowerShell/PowerShell#18251
my search that turned up the results
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=%5B%27powershell%27%2C+%27New-Item%27%2C+%27-ItemType%27%2C+%27Junction%27%2C+%27-Path%27%2C

adding a trigger to node would be great like the some nodes that download stuff if it isnt in the specified folder and people use huggingface for the storage of those files...

so if i never use a node it doesnt add files i am not using
