What happened?

In v1.8.0 when going to the Checkpoint tab and enabling folder view, the pane appears but does not list the folder tree I have.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Open Webui Go to Checkpoint tab Click icon to show folder tree

What should have happened?

Webui should show the folder tree for my Checkpoints in the side window that shows when folder tree icon is clicked

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge

I noticed this same issue today. I could not find any way around this other than to create a symbolic link in the folder, so that the models/Stable-diffusion points to a storage drive folder where I've saved my models.

So the folder tree is not seemingly rendered for the folder added with --ckpt-dir, but the models show up in the right-side browser. However the --lora-dir seems to still work, and it shows all the tree folders on the drive, etc.

I am also seeing this.

May arguments set loras to: E:\AI\MODELS\Lora and checkpoints to: E:\AI\MODELS\Stable-diffusion

Lora tree loads fine but checkpoints is blank.

Additionally is there anyway to have the tree expanded by default and to hide the models from the list. It would be nice if it were more of a vertical folder list

I can confirm this is still happening. I also have my models located outside my main SD folder e.g x:\SD_Models\1.5\Lora and checkpoints to: x:\SD_Models\1.5\Stable-diffusion
