What happened

The Model Manager is unable to determine the model type for VAE and CLIP files required for the Flux dev model. As a result, I cannot "invoke" any images with Flux.

For example, it fails to install (or recognize) these model files, which work without any issues in other AI image-generation apps:

clip_l.safetensors
t5xxl_fp16.safetensors
ae.safetensors

Here’s an error log snippet:

[2024-11-28 11:53:11,445]::[ModelInstallService]::INFO --> Model install started: D:/programs/StabilityMatrix/Models/CLIP/clip_l.safetensors [2024-11-28 11:53:11,466]::[ModelInstallService]::ERROR --> Model install error: D:/programs/StabilityMatrix/Models/CLIP/clip_l.safetensors InvalidModelConfigException: Unable to determine model type for D:\programs\StabilityMatrix\Models\CLIP\clip_l.safetensors

This issue occurs for all VAE, CLIP, and text encoder files needed for Flux. These files are provided and recommended by Black Forest Labs for the Flux dev model.

What you expected to happen

These model files should be installed (recognized as model files) by invoke model manager (place installed option).

How to reproduce the problem

Install app then go to model section, and set Flux vae and clip model file paths to install models with "place installed option" to aovid double same files.
