[Bug]: Custom Diffusion Extension no longer maintained by the author

[Harvester62]

Is there an existing issue for this?

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

What happened?

The developer of the Custom Diffusion extension is no longer maintaining it as per his reply to this bug report on his repository: guaneec/custom-diffusion-webui#10 (comment)

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Go to ....
2. Press ....
3. ...

What should have happened?

To keep an extension in the list of available ones, it should be actively maintained, otherwise it can lead to errors and user complaints. If a developer is not interested anymore to maintain his extension, this can be forked by another developer and kept updated, as it happened with other extensions (like Images Browser).

this was always the case
but we simply don't have the resource to test every extension actively we can only rely on user reports
needless to say we don't have the resources to keep track fors of extensions

if an extension is indeed no longer maintained and a viable fork is available
we will make the change to point the index to new repo

as for removing outdated extensions
I personally don't want to do so at least not immediately
not everyone is using the newest version of web UI and thus can still use older versions extensions

it's really all a case by case basis

tldr be made aware via user reports
ideally hopefully the autor themselves would send a message to us

if you have more issues related to extensions I think it's easier if you post it to the extension index repo
as it would have less likely chance of getting buried
https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui-extensions

[w-e-w]

oh my why do you have so many extensions installed

are you testing every extension?

yes I tagged it as not-an-issue because it's technically "not an issue"
that doesn't mean that I'm not a paying attention to this post

[w-e-w]

Maybe we can add a no longer maintain tag

I did conceptualize a version system that would provide version compatibility but that hasn't been made yet

[Harvester62]

I do understand your point and I will follow your suggestion to use that repository for such a things.

Anyway, I do need to have all the working extension installed (or at least those that I do want to translate the UI) because I am the translator of the Italian localization, and I do need to export the localization.json file with all the stuff inside it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to compare it side by side with my it_IT.json file and avoid duplications of labels and descriptions.

I won't install/translate all the available Extensions, but only those that I wish to work on in my spare time. Until another way of managing the localization will be implemented, this is the only way I have found to work with the localization file.

[w-e-w]

if it is not too much trouble for you
do you mind sending me a list of know non-working or no longer maintain extensions
it would very be helpful if I were to add the no longer maintain working tags

@Harvester62 puts hard work to test extensions, and custom scripts for translation. He is enabling all the extensions from the index page, and has said before that they need to be all enabled at once for translating extensions.

Consider posting here: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui-extensions, the things you find important involving extensions. Testing or commentary you have is appreciated.

If you want to look at pruning the older extensions from the index, because its broken and inactive, another similar extension exists, submitting a pull request removing it + asking on their github repo seems suitable. Give a month or more, then remove them. This way we're not going to upset users or creator. You could also put the old extension in the wiki, anybody can edit it now.

Thank you @ClashSAN and @w-e-w for your replies and support. I will follow your suggestions in case I will find any no longer supported extension or broken ones on https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui-extensions.

I am currently redoing the it_IT.json file due to the re-installation from scratch of SD Web UI v1.3.0, therefore my comments or checks are always compared to the most current version of the SDWUI repository.

I'm quite behind in the translation of the many new Extensions that have been published until now, but I will do my best to translate the most of them.
The very first check and step is always the installation of the Extension, which has to start correctly (that doesn't mean that it works, simply that it doesn't rise any errors at startup). If it does than there are very good chances that it is also properly working.

So @w-e-w , all the extensions that you see in my screenshot have been successfully installed and they should also work properly with the latest version of SDWUI.

Consider also that if I find an incompatible or a dependency error I try to solve the issue, after checking with the extension's repository information and eventually doing a pip check for safety. Currently, by example, I have to see how to install Riffusion because of its dependencies, we'll see; it works in the old installation of SDWUI, so I can find a way to manage it's localization anyway.

Sorry for the wall of text. Cheers!
