Browse models in ComfyUI. (Downloading and deleting are WIP.)

About this fork

I made this fork because the original repo was inactive and missing many things I needed to make the ComfyUI usable. Also, many other custom nodes bundle unrelated features together or search the internet in the background.

Fork Improvements

• Search models in models tab.
• Advanced keyword search using "multiple words in quotes" or a minus sign to -exclude.
• Search /subdirectories of base model directories based on your file structure (for example, /1.5/styles).
• Include models listed in ComfyUI's extra_model_paths.yaml.
• Increased supported preview image types.
• Correctly change colors using ComfyUI's theme colors.
• Simplified UI.
