~/.diffusionbee/downloads files should be placed in ~/Library/Caches/ #183

DiffusionBee downloads about 9GB of models

These are placed in a nonstandard location, making it hard for the user to discover and remove them when they are no longer wanted.

I suggest storing them in either

~/Library/Application\ Support/DiffusionBee

or better

~/LibraryCaches/DiffusionBee

which would allow the OS to manage them and kick them out

Leland commented 1 year ago

Very agreed. I vote caches. Also see #8. Few things to think about if this happens:

Should we move existing users' downloads to the new folder? (Maybe on prompt? It would make using old versions concurrently hard otherwise)
Code should also consider if both exist at the same time. What happens during migration then? (E.g. I run two versions of DiffusionBee)

~/LibraryCaches/DiffusionBee

Small typo, only mention since paths matter: > ~/Library/Caches/DiffusionBee

Just to add, I tried using different model like from the original SD Model, with Waifu Diffusion model, but somewhat still getting the same result (no change).

Would be nice to be able to use custom model, and see the differences.

Yes I just installed the new version and it download again the model.

I can't for the life of me figure out the default location for the model files, do you know where they are?

Yes I just installed the new version and it download again the model.

@zehrer this is normal behaviour if the local model is older version than the latest online model.

I can't for the life of me figure out the default location for the model files, do you know where they are?

@BrianLipke they are in a hidden folder in the your user folder, at ~/.diffusionbee (see the title of this issue, and #8)

mattheys commented 1 year ago

Can't this be configurable? I have all my stable diffusion stuff on an external SSD and I'd like to keep the models on that so I don't clog up my system drive.

zehrer commented 1 year ago

Yes please

gingerbeardman commented 1 year ago

Is there anything blocking this?

As well as leaving the files there, new versions of the app do not seem to manage the contents of that folder well - leaving old files in there.
