How to configure "extra_model_paths.yaml" for xlabs models?

Your question

Xlabs models (https://github.com/XLabs-AI/x-flux-comfyui) explian to us that models shall be put inside this path:
ComfyUI/models/xlabs/loras and ComfyUI/models/xlabs/controlnets

I would like to have the models in another path, could you tell me if it's possible to do it with the yaml file?
I tried to create a new entry like this:

....
vae: models/vae/
xlabs: ..._\models\xlabs

It did not work that great!
Ho to configure it what to write in the yaml?

Btw this is how it looks in base install:

you can use the standard windows mklink command which is much more versatile than the yaml file
move all xlabs files to [xlabs-path]
cd models
mklink /d xlabs [xlabs-path]
for instance mklink /d xlabs d:\models\xlabs

my machine does not allow this.

I'm not an expert, but if you have already set the base path, you need to add a relative path to the xlab folder.

Have you tried this way?

    xlabs: models/xlabs

I just noticed that I tried this:
xlabs: models\xlabs
and it should have been \ instead of /
but doubt it would work, because there are some codes related to these in nodes.py or and config paths scripts etc

Yeah, it should work both ways.

If changing \ to / didn't work, I would also give a chance to this format as a last attempt:

    xlabs: |
         models/xlabs/flux
         models/xlabs/loras
         models/xlabs/controlnets
         models/xlabs/ipadapters

I think there should be some changes in folder_paths.py and nodes.py (from main comfy) to accompany the yaml changes. I tried with ChatGPT but could not find a good working solution.

Was it working fine before?
Is this symptom happening after updating ComfyUI?

You can try xlabs_controlnets xlabs_loras xlabs_ipadapters
