By creating a file called "preload.py" in an extension folder and declaring a preload(parser) method, we can add extra command-line args for an extension.
Child classes only get populated to __subclassess__ when they are imported. We don't actually need to import any of them to webui any more, so clean up webUI imports and make sure loader imports children.
Also, fix command line paths not actually being passed to the scalers.
Yep.
Fix gfpgan_model_arch requirement(s).
Add Upscaler base class, move from images.
Add a lot of methods to Upscaler.
Re-work all the child upscalers to be proper classes.
Add BSRGAN scaler.
Add ldsr_model_arch class, removing the dependency for another repo that just uses regular latent-diffusion stuff.
Add one universal method that will always find and load new upscaler models without having to add new "setup_model" calls. Still need to add command line params, but that could probably be automated.
Add a "self.scale" property to all Upscalers so the scalers themselves can do "things" in response to the requested upscaling size.
Ensure LDSR doesn't get stuck in a longer loop of "upscale/downscale/upscale" as we try to reach the target upscale size.
Add typehints for IDE sanity.
PEP-8 improvements.
Moar.
Hook the model loader into the SD_models file.
Add default url/download if checkpoint is not found.
Add matching stablediffusion-models-path argument.
Add message that --ckpt-dir will be removed in the future, but have it pipe to stablediffusion-models-path for now.
Update help strings for models-path args so they're more or less uniform.
Move sd_model "setup" call to webUI with the others.
Ensure "cleanup_models" method moves existing models to the new locations, including SD, and that we aren't deleting folders that still have stuff in them.
Add General x4x3, GeneralWDN x4x3, and AnimeVideo models from newer ESRGAN releases.
Fix issues caused by renaming ESRGAN_tille values to GAN_tile without using an IDE...
