CivitAI Browser Neo | Forge Neo Extension - V0.8.3

CivitAI Browser Neo | Forge Neo Extension

Browse, download and manage your models without leaving your WebUI — built for Forge Neo

A modern evolution of sd-civitai-browser-plus, rebuilt for Forge Neo with auto-organization, a disk usage dashboard, creator management, and the most reliable download pipeline available in any civitai browser extension.

Features 🚀

Browse & Search 🔍

Browse CivitAI directly inside Forge Neo — no tab switching needed
Filter by content type, base model, sort order, time period, and NSFW
Base model list is auto-updated from CivitAI API at startup — always current, never stale
Favorite or ban creators with instant card filtering
Search settings (sort, NSFW, base model) persist across restarts

Download 📥

Download any model, version, and file in one click
Aria2 high-speed multi-connection downloads — maximize your bandwidth
Download queue — multiple downloads run in sequence without blocking the UI
Queue persistence — if your browser disconnects (e.g. RunPod timeout), a restore banner lets you re-queue everything with one click
SHA256 integrity check — every download is verified against CivitAI's hash; corrupted files are caught and removed automatically
Instant batch enqueue — queuing 10 models is as fast as queuing 1 (API calls deferred to download time)
Cancel downloads individually or all at once — thread-safe, never hangs

Model Updates 🔄

Outdated card detection — orange border on cards with a newer version available
Batch update: select multiple outdated models via checkbox and download all at once
Retention policy on update: keep both files, move old to _Trash, or replace
Audit log: every scan and update action recorded in neo_update_audit.jsonl

Auto-Organization 🗂️

Automatically sort new downloads into subfolders by architecture (SDXL/, Pony/, FLUX/, Wan/, etc.)
Organize your entire existing collection in one click
Validate organization — read-only scan with per-file report (correct / misplaced / no metadata)
Fix misplaced files — moves only flagged models to correct subfolders, with backup
Full backup & one-click rollback (keeps last 5 backups)
Custom category patterns configurable via JSON in Settings

Dashboard 📊

Disk usage broken down by model type and architecture
Pie chart, progress bars, and percentage breakdown
Top 10 largest files and top 10 categories by file count
Export dashboard data as CSV or JSON
Orphan file detection (.safetensors with no metadata sidecar)

Model Cards 🃏

Color-coded borders: green = installed, orange = update available, blue = early access
Quick delete from card, multi-select for batch download
NSFW badge, Paid badge, model type badge
Creator cards: gold glow + ⭐ badge for favorited creators
Video previews play on hover (muted)

Safety & Integrity 🔒

Deleted models go to the OS Trash by default (not permanent delete)

Description

v0.8.3 — Safer Delete Flow for Installed/Outdated Models

Browser version dropdown now defaults to an installed version whenever one exists, even when updates are available.
This preserves delete action availability for models that are installed but outdated.
Added a delete failsafe for card quick delete: if multiple installed versions exist, quick delete is canceled and the user is instructed to pick the exact installed version in the Browser panel before deleting.
Installed-model Browser loading now keeps unmatched files visible as local-only entries while still using API data for matched models.

v0.8.2 — Checkpoint SHA256 Cache Sync

Added automatic SHA256 cache sync for checkpoints right after successful download completion.
Added a manual Sync checkpoint SHA256 cache button in Update Models to reconcile local checkpoints against Forge cache.
Added local checkpoint hash registry (lib/models/checkpoint_hashes.json) to track synced entries and clean stale records for deleted files.

v0.8.1 — Trigger Word Bugfixes & Resilience

Fixed an issue where the local trigger word fallback process ignored API groups and flattened words into single lines.
Fixed an issue where "Update model info & tags" didn't safely persist incoming trainedWords groups natively to the local cache.
Added exponential backoff retry mechanism to API calls returning temporary 50x server errors, saving "Update models" loops from failing silently on affected files.
Moved trigger word row buttons (📋 / ➕) to the left side of the text in the preview panel.

v0.8.0 — Trigger Word Consolidation

Consolidated trigger words from .safetensors metadata, local .json activation text, and API trainedWords
Added case-insensitive deduplication while preserving original order
Model info now uses local consolidated trigger words first, with API fallback when local cache is unavailable

v0.7.4 — Wan I2V/T2V Differentiation

Wan card badges now distinguish I2V, T2V, and TI2V subtypes (API already returns specific baseModel values)
New setting civitai_neo_wan_subfolder_by_type (OFF by default): splits Wan downloads into Wan/I2V/, Wan/T2V/, Wan/TI2V/ subfolders
Fixed multi-level subfolder "already organized" check (was using os.path.basename, broke for Wan/I2V paths)
Fixed Flux.2 Klein 4B/9B and Flux.2 D showing F1 badge — now correctly shows F2

v0.7.3 — Per-group Trigger Word Rows

Each trigger word group gets its own row with individual copy and add-to-prompt buttons
LORA tag row (<lora:filename:1>) shown as first entry in purple/monospace
Clipboard copy with ✓ visual feedback (1.5s)
"Add all to prompt" button when multiple groups exist
