Hello, @mayjack0312! I'm here to assist you with any bugs or questions you have.

For configuring the storage path for models in ComfyUI, you should edit the extra_models_config.yaml file located in %APPDATA%\ComfyUI (typically C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\ComfyUI). Specify your desired paths for different model types in this file. Note that some models may still be downloaded to the root installation folder due to a known limitation ^[1].

Regarding the GitHub proxy settings and the failed Git clone operation with exit code 128, I couldn't find specific information on setting up a GitHub proxy in ComfyUI. However, common causes for a Git clone operation failing with exit code 128 include network issues, incorrect repository URLs, or authentication problems. Ensure that your network settings allow Git operations and that the repository URL is correct. You might also want to check if there are any proxy settings in your network configuration that need to be adjusted.

To continue talking to Dosu, mention @dosu.

Update: What should I do if I have multiple paths? Do I use "" to enclose the individual paths and then separate them with a comma? I tried two variables, but it seems to report an error.

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2025):

To specify multiple paths in the extra_models_config.yaml file for ComfyUI, you should define different sections with their respective paths, rather than using commas to separate paths within a single key. Here's an example of how you can structure the file:

comfyui_desktop:
  base_path: /primary/path
  checkpoints: /primary/path/models/checkpoints/
comfyui_migration:
  base_path: /migration/path
  models: /migration/path/models/

Each section (e.g., comfyui_desktop, comfyui_migration) can have its own set of paths and configurations. Ensure that each key is unique within its section to avoid parsing errors ^[1].

Yeah I think adding a new top level key would be the simplest. Like the example above^

Tried above example to point the app to my exsiting model folder.
The models are listed on the model panel on the left, however, I still don't have them listed in the Load Checkpoint node.

I do not understand why the important model path can not be configured from the settings menu in the app. It's more important than many other settings.

Hi, @mayjack0312. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You reported two main issues: missing JSON config for custom model storage paths and GitHub clone failures during extension updates likely due to proxy settings.
It was clarified that model paths should be configured in the extra_models_config.yaml file with separate sections for each path, not as comma-separated lists.
Other users agreed with this configuration method, but some noted that models show up in the panel but not in the Load Checkpoint node.
There is ongoing frustration about the inability to configure model paths directly through the app settings.

Next Steps:

Please let me know if these issues are still relevant with the latest version of ComfyUI by commenting here to keep the discussion open.
If I don’t hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue to help keep the backlog manageable.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
