Change model download directory #2

Open CannibalKush opened 1 month ago

CannibalKush commented 1 month ago

At the moment the application downloads models to my default HuggingFace cache folder.

It's hard for me to spare roughly 20GB on my C:/ drive, but it's unclear whether I can change where these files download to.

I realise I can specify cache_dir when calling 'snapshot_download' and 'hf_hub_download' but I don't think this applies to the CogVideo models, only ESRGAN and RIFE.

How can I change where the CogVideo models go?

Im looking for an answer to this. Did you get an answer? My C drive is already almost full

Make a symlink. It's not only this project, it's common problem that huggingface models downloaded into user's home directory.

mklink /D "C:\Users\XXX\.cache\huggingface" "X:\huggingface"

Change XXX to your username directory

would be great if we could point to the models installed on ComfyUI, avoiding spend HD space on this duplicated data. At the HuggingFace folder it gets into that blobs format, with those random numbers filenames, so making a Symlink like I do with my checkpoints folder to use on both A1111 and ComfyUI, would not work.. So please @cocktailpeanut , if we could have this option, to point to the ComfyUI\models\CogVideo and use all the 40Gb models I already have, would help us a lot! Thanks for this nice tool that CogStudio is!
