[Tutorial] Installing Extensions + My suggestions (Patreon)

Hi. Today I'll teach you how to install extensions on Automatic1111 Webui and some suggestions for you. I'll explain about 2 extensions and I'll list some others that you can learn more about them for yourself or I could do another tutorial for them separately.

First let's see how to install an extension. It's pretty simple.

You should go to your Extensions tab. 

Then you have 2 options:

Click Available to search in the official GitHub list or Install from URL to insert the custom URL from a extension you want.

After you find and install the extensions you like you should go to Installed tab and hit Apply and Restart UI. It's a good idea to also completely restart your automatic1111 webui by ending it in the command prompt.

To update later you can do the same thing, click Check for updates wait for it to check, hit apply and wait. Then restart the webui.

Anyway. I'll talk about two extensions. One is an auto complete suggestion. It will help a lot on learning about danbooru tag poses. You can also go to the danbooru website and look for the tags of an image you like.

The link to the extension is this (you can insert it in Install from URL):   https://github.com/DominikDoom/a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete.git 

After that if you installed correctly as I showed above and restart your web ui. It will work like this:

This is the best advice I can give to poses. Sometimes you can think of something and it will give you a better tag to use as prompt. For example as in prone it says "on stomach", you can also select that and it will change the prompt for you and add a comma.

Now in combination with this, this extension also works with wildcards. A wildcard in this case is a text file that you can input multiple prompts and it will randomize between them.

For it you will have to install this extension:

https://github.com/adieyal/sd-dynamic-prompts.git

After it is installed correctly, there are some options you can use, but it can work very nicely as default. So I'll not go on those options.

I suggest that you create your wildcards and then restart your webui again.

To create a wildcard you can open your NOTEPAD and crate a list of prompts like this

Then you save it to this folder:
\stable-diffusion-webui\extensions\sd-dynamic-prompts\wildcards

Now after this you can go to your webui and start typing your prompts...

You will have to type double underline "__" and the name of the file and end with "__" again.

The tag complete extension will also help you with that like this:

The prompt would be __expression__ because the file is named expression.txt

After that you can try generating your image and check the resulting prompt to see if it's working.

You don't need to restart your webui if you create a new wildcard, but the suggestion will not be there.

Now a short list of other useful extensions (some of them you may have already installed).
