    This isn't good. The new trainer still has major, unacceptable, flaws

    1. It's censored, locking out loads of useful training data.

    2. The auto-label is running automatically and charging for it while claiming it's free!

    3. Can't get sample videos for video model training, only images (which I'm not even sure will work)

    4. The default settings for a lot of models are still wonky

    5. Can't DL weights/samples from partially completed training runs

    6. Imported zips are completely out of order, so if something fails to upload you have to manually audit EVERY image to see what is missing (literally had this happen while double checking 3 is still true). Update: Its sorting videos by duration (Why? That's not even a standard option in OS file browsing.) and one video I have will 100% fail to upload on new trainer but old trainer has no issue (fade in from black breaking point 1?).

    7. No Kohya support (still the superior option for Illustrious by far. Lots of creators have done apples to apples comparisons and AI Toolkit was almost always worse, and at best a sidegrade)

    8. Interface for tagging is much worse.

    9. Importing old training data doesn't seem to work (but haven't made a model over there to know if this is an import problem)
