Path where script is launched from gets ignored, models get downloaded inside script folder

[TiagoTiago]

Before I updated to the latest version, I had models on a separate drive, and simply ran the script starting at the folder where I had the models; but after the update looks like it ignores the folder the script is launched from, and will instead download the models under the folder the aiserver.py script resides; and I haven't double checked yet, but I think it also is behaving similarly with settings (was handy to have separate settings when using the same model for different purposes; I would just symlink the model folder when I would use the same model with different settings).

Its likely you are running into the feature that moves models from the main folder to its own models folder to migrate people over to that structure. From the GUI you should be able to just navigate to the folder you need, the command line accepts full paths using the --path and --configname options.

So for what you want it would for example be play --model NeoCustom --path D:\Models\GPT-J-6B --configname Test2 Symlinking the models folder is done on colab and will work to if that is your preference.
