[Bug]: Symlink subfolders no longer work in Extra Networks

[PaulCoddington]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

Symlink subfolders no longer load in Extra Networks.
Issue #142 may have been prematurely closed.

Most recent commit where Extra Networks worked with symlinks:

Revision: f2b9c2c
Date: 12/05/2023 11:57:05 pm

Looks like symlinks were broken here:

Revision: b08500c
Date: 13/05/2023 5:16:37 pm

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Create a subfolder in any Extra Networks folder which links to another drive.

eg:

\models\LoRA\symlink\…

2. Refresh Extra Networks pane.

Symlink folder will be listed, but no models or subfolders within the symlink will be displayed. Standard subfolders are listed and contain models, as expected.

What should have happened?

Extra Networks pane should display models and subfolders contained within all subfolders, including symlink subfolders.

Some 3rd party extensions may need similar amendments for some users depending on how they use symlinks (out of scope).
