Feature Request: Custom path for models folder about fooocus-mre HOT 2 CLOSED

@barepixels Simplest way to do it is by using OS features like links - this way you can have those models in single place, even on a different drive, yet make them all accessible to different applications on different drives expecting to have them in their own folder structure.

Most Linux users know this mechanisms, but many people using Windows don't know similar features are available on Windows, too. If you're Windows users, you can check out mklink documentation. Symlinks on Windows require admin rights, hardlinks and junctions work fine without it. If you're on Linux, you can check out this guide for symlinks.

As I find those OS features good solution for this use case, I won't be implementing settings for folders in Fooocus.

UPDATE (due to #12): it seems git recognizes symlinks as changes (at least on Windows), so I'd rather suggest going with hardlinks or directory junctions, like that:

mklink /j D:\Fooocus\checkpoints E:\models\checkpoints

from fooocus-mre.

Update: implemented (fa61511) - people having problems with links (discussed in #12) will have alternative solution.
