4 months ago Regrettably, after updating to version "1.13.4" for Windows, things seem to have worsened rather than improved. Despite the hope for fixes to previously reported issues, I now face new challenges in addition to the already known ones.
During an attempt to download a model, the application started downloading the same file twice simultaneously, both with exasperating slowness. This is particularly frustrating when compared to the "less worse" Civitai Link extension for WebUI, which performs downloads at the appropriate speed. The downloaded files, to make matters worse, are incomplete, not reaching even half the expected size as indicated on the site; one of them had only a few kilobytes. Additionally, both remained in the "temp" folder, without being moved to the "lora" folder upon download completion.
One of the supposed novelties of this version would be the generation of a .json file containing data about the downloaded model. However, the provided data is, at best, incomplete—or even useless. The file failed to identify the version of the Stable Diffusion of the model, listing it as "unknown", and omitted critical information such as the "activation text". Essentially, the generated .json was reduced to this:
{"sd version":"unknown","preferred weight":0.8,"notes":""}
Note: as you can see in the print below, the model was an SDXL, hence recognizable. I say this because the extension for the WebUI only failed to recognize pony models.
There is still no functionality for downloading preview images, and the other bugs and utilities previously reported remain unresolved. The disappointment with the development and improvement of the application is palpable, reflecting a user experience that leaves much to be desired.

Every interaction I have with the app results in it automatically closing itself, disappearing into the systray, as well as not showing any label on the taskbar when the window is in focus, just an icon in the tray. When minimized or out of focus, instead of staying active in the background with the window open, it completely hides itself.
The app's performance is lacking, operating with notable slowness (Print 01). Its functionality is limited to a list of models located in the specified folders, without offering any form of categorization or additional detail of the models, which is in stark contrast with the intuitive and information-rich navigation available in the Stability Matrix. Additionally, the app window is not resizable, which is a nuisance for someone with a large screen (21:9), as the interface appears too small.

Another limitation is the absence of a preview image download and the creation of a .json file containing information about the models (Print 02 and 03). This feature is particularly valuable for WebUI users (like automatic, forge, etc), who utilize these data in their interfaces.

Some models that I have previously downloaded are listed on the site as if I had not downloaded them (Print 04), and when I click on the button, it shows an error and says that it has already been downloaded (Print 05).

This feedback is intended not only to point out areas for improvement but also to reinforce the importance of a refined and efficient user experience, which is currently hindered by these issues.
