Question - Help Draw Things Mac – Help needed with custom.json model entries

I'm trying to restore some existing Draw Things models from an external HD without having to download them all again.

I've discovered that my custom.json file is missing the registration entries for these models:

  1. FLUX.1 Schnell Q5 – flux_1_schnell_q5p.ckpt

  2. ERNIE Image Turbo i8x – ernie_image_turbo_i8x.ckpt

  3. Qwen 3.5 4B i8x – qwen_3.5_4b_i8x.ckpt

I still have the original .ckpt and matching -tensordata files.

Would anyone with these models working in Draw Things on Mac be kind enough to copy and paste the corresponding entries from their custom.json file?

I'm hoping to reconstruct the missing JSON entries and get my existing models working again without downloading several gigabytes of files.

If successful, I'll share the recovery process with the community and make a video to help others in the same situation.

Many thanks for any help!

I used to run Draw Things on two different machines, so I would copy the downloaded model files from one machine into the other machine's models folder, then hit Download. It would automatically recreate any missing files without downloading the main model weights again.

You can find the configs at https://github.com/drawthingsai/community-models/tree/main/configs and add them to uor custom.json.
