Description

It looks like ControlNet Integrated ignores path set for ControlNet annotators/preprocessors in Settings and downloads the models without checking if they exist in provided path.
Full setting name is "Path to directory containing annotator model directories (requires restart, overrides corresponding command line flag)"
Even if I have the models in the path it still downloads them. But if annotator files are in models/ControlNetPreprocessor (default location) it doesn't redownload them. So it just looks like the setting for path is ignored.

Path for ControlNet models itself seems to work, it correctly detects all my shared controlnets and doesn't try to download anything. So looks like it is just the ControlNetPreprocessor path that is broken.

Can the setting for ControlNet annotator path be fixed?

Research direction

Start by tracing the setting named "Path to directory containing annotator model directories" into the ControlNetPreprocessor model lookup, and compare it with the working ControlNet model path handling. Done means existing annotator models in the configured directory are detected without downloading them, including coverage for the configured path.
