 # comfyui-model-manager
-Manage models: browsing, donwload and delete.
+
+Browse models in ComfyUI. (Downloading and deleting are WIP.)
+
+![Model Manager Demo Screenshot](model-manager-demo-screenshot.png)
+
+## About this branch
+
+I made this branch because the original repo was inactive and missing things I needed to make the ComfyUI usable. Also, many other custom nodes bundle unrelated features together or search the internet without asking for permission.
+
+## Branch Improvements
+
+- Search models in models tab.
+- Advanced keyword search using `"multiple words in quotes"` or a minus sign to `-exclude`.
+- Search `/`subdirectories of main directory based on your file structure (for example, `/1.5/styles`).
+- Include models listed in `extra_model_paths.yaml`.
+- Increased supported preview image types.
+- Correctly change colors using ComfyUI's theme colors.
+- Simplified UI.
+
+## TODO
+
+### One-click to add a model/node to workspace
+
+- ☐ Copy icon `📋` or plus icon `+`?
+- ☐ Sidebar mode
+  - ☐ Drag to add?
+
+### Downloading tab
+
+- ☐ Replace Install tab with Downloading tab (more practical IMO).
+- ☐ Download a model from a url.
+- ☐ Choose save path in browser.
+
+### Search filtering and sort
+
+- ☐ Add auto-suggest paths in search
+- ☐ Filters dropdown
+  - ☐ Stable Diffusion model version/Clip/Upscale/?
+  - ☐ Favorites
+- ☐ Sort-by dropdown
+  - ☐ Date modified (ascending/decending)
+  - ☐ Date created (ascending/decending)
+  - ☐ Recently used (ascending/decending)
+  - ☐ Frequently used (ascending/decending)
+- ☐ `or` vs `and` search keywords (currently `and`)
+
+### Settings
+
+- ☐ Exclude hidden folders with a `.` prefix.
+- ☐ Include a optional string to always add to searches.
+- ☐ Enable optional checksum to detect if a model is already downloaded.
+- ☐ Add `settings.yaml` and add file to `.gitignore`.
+
+### Model info window/panel (server load/send on demand)
+
+- ☐ Info icon `ⓘ`
+- ☐ Optional (re)download `📥︎`model info from the internet and cache the text file locally. (requires checksum enabled)
+- ☐ Delete model with warning popup.
+
+### Image preview
+
+- ☐ Support multiple preview images (swipe?).
+- ☐ Show preview images for videos.
+  - ☐ If ffmpeg or cv2 available, extract the first frame of the video and use as image preview.
+  - ☐ Play preview video?
