## 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 in the background.

## 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?
