Custom storage location for models (e.g. thumb drive)

Open 9SL9 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Hi, just wondering if we can set a custom location to download models to. My Mac only has a limit amount of space internally, would love to be able to specify an external drive to store models.

Also, to check it is available on starting up of the app so it doesn't just fail but asks me to insert the drive.

Great app either way, thanks!

Not a solution, but as a workaround you could use a symbolic link as mentioned by @nightwingrox711 in #480.

Thanks. That's what I'm doing at the moment but it's not quite fool proof.

if you want you want you could just move the models folder and create a link to that, you dont have to move the rest of the dotfiles, or even the whole app,

Ok for anyone else doing this, you have to use the terminal command to create the symlink, dragging it and holding opt+cmd to create the link doesn't work.
