[Feature Request]: Option to set default VAE weights for all models

[milesrotaru]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What would your feature do ?

I would like to use Stability's newly released VAE's with all of my dozens of models without having make a separate copy/symlink for each of them, and to be able to easily switch between the MSE and non-MSE VAE models without resorting to tedious file renaming.

Proposed workflow

1. Go to the settings tab
2. Press "default VAE"
3. Select a VAE checkpoint file
4. Chosen VAE weights are applied to all diffusion models that don't have a corresponding .vae.pt file alongside them.

you can add --vae-path to arguments to do most of this

So --vae-path path/to/vae in set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=
