Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DominikDoom/a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete/issues/168

The web UI currently reads all extra networks recursively and follows symlinks, something the glob module supports but I don't believe pathlib does yet. This can be verified by symlinking a directory, and comparing the list in the extra networks list compared to those returned by tagcomplete. A few examples here:
github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui@5ab7f213be/extensions-builtin/Lora/lora.py (L349-L352)
github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui@5ab7f213be/modules/hypernetworks/hypernetwork.py (L315)
I know Gradio is pretty restrictive about anything outside of working directory, but I imagine if the extra networks list can read them fine then extensions could too.

@DominikDoom commented on GitHub (May 3, 2023):

True, the Gradio restrictions only apply to the client side, so if the JavaScript part wants to load something. This isn't a problem for the list of hypernets and lora since they are written to a temp file. Only when those temp files are outside the root (so when the extensions dir itself is symlinked) there are problems.

I changed it to use glob similar to the webui implementation like you suggested, so it should follow them now.
