Google colab qol (executable cell and old emphasis implementation)

[vsp245]

Previously in google colab, the cell stopped after starting Gradio.app instance. Now, in latest versions, this cell should be constantly executed.
Thus, no other code can be executed in this environment at the same time, which makes life in a colab much more difficult. Especially if you cannot connect your Google drive in a particular situation.

Any work with files, bulk copying, moving, downloading a merged models becomes a problem, because you can not run your code in other cells, and manual files manipulation in google calab is incredibly bad and slow.

Therefore, it will be a huge improvement in the quality of life if everything were the same as a week ago.
If it's not too hard to implement, please make the main executable cell not block the whole sheet. Make it run in a parallel process for example? I dont know. Or, perhaps, add downloading option for all files via the Web UI interface.

This would be a huge improvement for anyone using the colab.

Another small thing that would be nice, and which concerns not only Google Colab, is to add a flag to generation parameters output "emphasis implementation mode: old", because it greatly affects the result and I'm sure it will be used by many people for a long time to come.

Thank you for making this incredibly cool software. This is a fantastic job beyond words.

I don't think this is really related to automatic, because it's a "feature" of colab itself.
I got the same issue actually, i want to run automatic, and run a code i made myself to display inside colab the images generated (faster than waiting in gradio), but can't run both in same time.

I was looking for a way to run in parallel two cells, it seems possible, but quite technical.

You can just double-click the "stop" button to stop the cell, and use other cells to zip+download your output folders, like this:

This zips:
!zip -r /content/Diffused-Images.zip /content/stable-diffusion-webui/outputs

This downloads the zip:
from google.colab import files files.download("/content/Diffused-Images.zip")

And after that, you run this to restart the WebUI, it'll generate a new link, but your settings will be kept:
!COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--share --gradio-debug" REQS_FILE="requirements.txt" python launch.py
