[Feature Request]: Custom directory path for wildcards base.

[LLKoder]

It would be nice if user can to choose in settings the path where the wildcards database is located (+subdirrectorys).

[akx]

For the time being, you should be able to replace the wildcards/ directory with a symlink pointing elsewhere.

[LLKoder]

@akx, also does this work for Windows?

[akx]

@LLKoder It should. See https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2016/12/02/symlinks-windows-10/

[LLKoder]

Thanks a lot!

mklink /d Link Target

example: mklink /d wildcards c:\automatic\extensions\sd-dynamic-prompts\wildcards will create a link wildcards in your current directory that points to c:\automatic\extensions\sd-dynamic-prompts\wildcards

(/d creates a directory link rather than a file link. Note that you can substitute /d with /j for a directory junction. Junctions are resolved server-side, rather than client-side; useful for some applications running over a network.)

Doesn't this already work according to the documentation:

WILDCARDS: The extension looks for wildcard files in WILDCARD_DIR. The default location is /path/to/stable-diffusion-webui/extensions/sd-dynamic-prompts/wildcards. It can also be manually defined in the main webui config.json under wildcard_dir. When in doubt, the help text for the extension in the webui lists the full path to WILDCARD_DIR

[LLKoder]

If I'm being honest I didn't know that, I found that options in Settings of WebUI and then I wrote:

I mean WebUI either.

Don't think so, I set wild_card (upper+lower case) in config.json with multiple restart of WebUI, the path is still hardcoded to the extension one.

@YannJun wildcar is not wildcard.

[YannJun]

@YannJun wildcar is not wildcard.

indeed, too blind to see it.

So @YannJun did adding "wildcard_dir": "your-path" work?
