Add a shared normalize_download_category helper (with CATEGORY_MAP) in Python
and use it in get_download_directory to prefer redirected paths and to rank
diffusion_models above legacy unet folders. Mirror the same normalization in
the JS downloadTargetMethods, applying it consistently when coalescing
downloadDirectories, building dropdown keys, and reading/writing selections.
Also fix display labels to use 'diffusion_models' instead of 'unet'.
Propagate the resolved download directory and file path from the backend
download flow into frontend progress UI: add \path\ and \directory\ fields
to download progress state, render right-clickable context menu entries on
progress bars and status messages, and allow opening the download folder
directly from completion or error notifications. Also update the HuggingFace
author index.
Replace all link dialog terminology with resolver terminology
throughout the codebase, including module names, CSS classes,
IDs, JS variables, SVG gradient IDs, and log module names.
Remove the old web/linker/ tree and introduce the new web/resolver/
tree with parallel structure. Also replace core/linker.py with
core/resolver.py.
Include base_model and tags in civitai search/resolve results and model lookup responses. Add a new /model_linker/subfolders API route that uses ComfyUI folder_paths to return known subfolder paths for a given category. Improve downloader.get_download_directory to choose a preferred path (preferring paths outside the ComfyUI install) and add robust path normalization/commonpath checks. On the frontend, add download target controls (folder + optional subfolder) with styling, loading of download directories/subfolders, autocomplete and selection logic, heuristics to suggest civitai subfolders (particularly for loras), and integrate the chosen category/subfolder into the download payload and UI wiring.
Replace direct uses of the logging module and module-level loggers with the centralized log_system.log_funcs (log_debug/log_info/log_warn/log_error/log_exception) across multiple modules. Updated imports and removed unused logging.getLogger() instances in downloader, scanner, sources (civitai, huggingface, model_list, popular), workflow_analyzer, workflow_updater, and __init__.py. Minor message/text tweaks and import formatting applied; behavior unchanged aside from routing logs through the shared logging helpers.
Introduce a new logging subsystem under core/log_system (logger.py, config.py, log_funcs.py) implementing AzLogs (LogLevel enum, colored console output, optional file rotation) and a lightweight wrapper (log_debug/info/warn/error/exception) with safe fallback when AzLogs is unavailable. Integrate these log functions across many core modules (downloader, linker, matcher, scanner, workflow_analyzer, workflow_updater, sources and related files) and export logger and helper log functions from core.__init__. Replace several direct logging calls in linker with the new log_* helpers and update core.__init__ exports. Also include small code style and robustness tweaks (path/filename normalization, JSON/file handling, minor refactors and formatting fixes) to improve matching and model-list/popular lookups.
Refactor and harden the Model Linker extension: normalize string quoting/formatting and improve logging and error responses across API routes. Make route registration more robust to missing PromptServer and dependencies. Add/expand download-related features: safer request parsing (including is_urn handling), CivitAI URN support & direct download URL resolution, popular/model-list/HuggingFace/CivitAI search fallbacks, improved header handling for HF/CivitAI, and better category/directory mapping. Improve downloader reliability and UX: folder_paths fallback, pre-initialize download progress entries, smoother speed calculation and CLI logging, cancellation cleanup on Windows, stronger exception handling, and consistent JSON responses from endpoints.
