Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/desktop/issues/549

App Version

v1.1

Expected Behavior

GGUF Clip models that are located in ComfyUI\models\clip do not load in any of the clip loader nodes.
All paths were added to existing comfyui installation.
Even moved the models to Desktop App's own clip folder still not showing.
Same workflow if loaded into browser comfyUI shows the GGUF clip models

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce

Try putting any GGUF Clip models in ComfyUI\models\clip or Desktop App's own clip folder and see if they show in any clip loader nodes like dual clip loader etc.

Debug Logs

No error just wont show up.

Browser Logs

Hey which node pack are you using for this?

Can you check the extra_model_config.yaml file? Instructions here: https://comfyorg.notion.site/ComfyUI-Desktop-User-Guide-1146d73d365080a49058e8d629772f0a#832ba435a0f74df3ba353fb08e25c2cc

Make sure this is in there:

comfyui_desktop:
  is_default: "true"
  ...  
  clip: models/clip/

im getting a similar issue but with pulid models. i have added the extra model paths file to root folder. its like its not reading the file.

Note that my installation is not in appdata. its actually in D: drive in a custom folder selected from the start of installation.

#config for comfyui
#your base path should be either an existing comfy install or a central folder where you store all of your models, loras, etc.

comfyui:
    base_path:  /d/CODE/STABLEDIFFUSION/COMFYDESKTOP/
    is_default: true
    pulid: models/pulid/

update same issue with insightface folder in "models" also updated the yaml file with correct path. any suggestions @robinjhuang ?

Hi, @gsp80. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

GGUF Clip models are not loading in the desktop app version 1.1, but they appear in the browser version.
You reported placing models in the correct directories, but they still don't load.
@robinjhuang suggested checking the extra_model_config.yaml file for proper configuration.
@ortenheim reported a similar issue with pulid models, questioning if the configuration file is read correctly from a custom directory on the D: drive.

Next Steps:

Please confirm if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of the desktop repository by commenting here.
If no updates are provided, the issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
