User flow

1. Initiate Import: Access the "Import Model" feature through the Jan application interface whether clicking to add or drag and drop a model file or folder into the application window.

2. Automatic Scan (Folder Import): (in case users import a folder) If a folder is dropped, Jan automatically scans for multiple model files (GGUF format).

3. Choose Import Method:

   • Prompt users to choose their preferred import method:
     • a. Duplicate Folder:
       • If users want to maintain a separate model folder within Jan (may consume additional storage).
     • b. Use Symlinks:
       • If users want to avoid duplicating the model folder to save storage (requires understanding symlinks).

4. Importing model: Users are presented with an import interface, showing progress, cancel, and remove file options.

5. Autogenerated model.json (Folder Import): For each model found, Jan generates a corresponding model.json in Jan Data Folder.

6. Optional Model Configuration: Users have the option to fill in additional properties in the model.json for more detailed configurations.
