[Bug]: aliases for allowed dirs are not properly resolved on Windows

[itkitteh]

Checklist

• The issue exists after disabling all extensions
• The issue exists on a clean installation of webui
• The issue is caused by an extension, but I believe it is caused by a bug in the webui
• The issue exists in the current version of the webui
• The issue has not been reported before recently
• The issue has been reported before but has not been fixed yet

What happened?

Recent change in image (and style) fetch logic [1] has caused the thumbnails to not appear if the webui is hosted on. a windows machine through Stability Matrix. Because Stability Matrix uses aliases for output folders and the logic doesn't seem to resolve aliases properly.

Line 145 in 6f1cbfb

raise HTTPException(status_code=403, detail="Access denied to this file.")

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Install Stability Matrix on Windows.
2. Install webui-ux
3. Generate on image
4. Look at output thumbnails - they will be empty, with fetch requests resulting in 403's

What should have happened?

Thumbnails should have rendered

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

raise HTTPException(status_code=403, detail="Access denied to this file.")
as the error indicates the base folder that the images are located does not have the right permissions.
set you scanning folder Default base path for images same as your saved images to get the right permissions
in your case set it to C:\Users\IttyKitty\AI\StabilityMatrix\Data\Images
for the styles it should work as the path is relative to the extension and permissions are granted from its parent folder unless there is an issue with StabilityMatrix extensions location path let me know about this thanks.
In the upcoming update i will add a custom path for styles so users can set it outside of extensions folder
temporary you can hardcode your path in the anapnoe_sd_uiux_db.py file change the stylesdir = os.path.join(basedir, "styles_data") to stylesdir = os.path.abspath(r"D:\styles_data") and move the styles_data folder there

That worked very well, thank you @anapnoe 🙌

Should I report to Stability Matrix that they potentially need to change this default?

Does the Stability Matrix preserve the subfolders for image generation? if I do remember correctly when you set the path with cmd you lose the subpaths txt2img-images, img2img-images, extras-mages etc. this is why I had to use the Default base path for images to preserve the folder structure for saved/scanned images without forcing a single output folder. This can be fixed on my end to auto fill the Default base path for images from cmd args if it is been used. For the styles it seems using relative path cause the issue so maybe resolve it and use its absolute path location will remedy this. Leave the issue open and I will fix it soon thanks.
