Hello, a question a little unusual looking at other topics in this section.

Well, sd-webui-tagcomplete when I downloaded files earlier using Stable-Diffusion-Webui-Civitai-Helper showed me information about a given for example lora, image and what I need to type to invoke it:

It looked like the image above, unfortunately this plugin stopped working on Forge, I wrote to the author of this plugin but he also does not know how to fix it or I just do not want to, so I came here, what is another way to play some file from civitai and it contained the necessary information files so that in tagcomplete it would show me all this as in the screenshot above?

I'm not sure I understand your question. That preview window is not from tagcomplete.
The native TAC preview looks like this:

Which as you can see is only the image. That's just an image of your choosing with the same name as the Lora in the same folder, i.e. if the file is called "my_awesome_lora.safetensors", an image called "my_awesome_lora.png" (or jpg and some other common formats) saved next to it would be used for the preview. This is also used by the webui itself for the previews in the gallery tab. But without civitai helper, you'll have to download or generate such a preview image yourself.

As for the rest, I can't help you. As said above, that is not from TAC itself, and if it shows up during tacomplete's completion, it's probably another extension hijacking the process to add that info.

The only other special feature for Loras TAC has is trigger word completion, see the detailed README section for more info on that. But trigger word completion also has little to do with the above screenshot, it's just a convenience feature.

Actually, I made a mistake, I use sd-webui-prompt-all-in-one as well as a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete. The screen above is more about the former extension, I also wrote here because I thought that the photo call itself comes from the tagcomplete extension (by the way, both of these plugins work in good synergy).

Anyway.

Thanks. I have already fortunately solved the problem, in order to show more information about a particular LoRA you need the file “name.civitai.info”, then the rest of the information is shown. Maybe it will be useful to someone.

Ah yeah that makes sense, I also remember sd-webui-prompt-all-in-one using / supporting some features of tagcomplete if it's installed alongside it (which I'm completely fine with). At least in older versions, I haven't looked at it in a long time since it changes the UI too much for my liking.
