I'm tired of using folders to organize my sadpanda galleries.
How come there are several video players and music players, doing the same thing, but there aren't any hentai managers? I found pic related, but it hasn't been updated in 2 years, and it's kinda buggy. Come the fuck on, when will we have a proper way of managing our downloaded hentai? It would be so nice if we had something that could fetch tags for our downloaded hentai in a nice and comfy program.
There is, and its garbage thats not worth using. On that note theres really not much point saving sadpanda locally since favourites exists. Doesnt stop me though

Use LANararagi.

Hydrus is terrible for doujin since it doesn't store in order.
Nathan King
>zip/rar dir >cbz/cbr ext there are literally hundreds of browsers for these
Jason King
Just look for a program that manages comics or manga. Hentai doujins are basically manga.
I'm making one for both doujinshi and images. It's still a work in progress but if you point it to a folder, it will import all the image, video, and zip files and let you browse them.
It also automatically extracts tags from the sadpanda filename format.
Hydrus Network. It has an infinity chan where the dev takes suggestions and posts weekly releases. for some reason i cant post infinity chan links so google it
Joshua Murphy
you use the page / chapter / series tags. It has regex functionality so you can automatically tag the pages of a comic or book in order. noob
Hydrus is shit and you shills need to be shot in the head for spamming that garbage everywhere.
Can you make it for sadpanda galleries only? Also, will it move my stuff around, or will everything stay where it is currently at?
How will you detect parent and child galleries and how will it fetch tags? Copy pasting the title unto sadpanda's search engine isn't enough, so that's why I'm curious. There are people who use userscripts to download galleries and these userscripts include a small .json file in the zip with information about the gallery (tags, gID, title, etc).

Who are you complaining to? If you want an app doing what you want you should just build that app yourself. If you can't do that, you're on the wrong board.
It doesn't move files, it just caches their information in a database like a typical music application does. Right now the biggest problem I'm trying to figure out is how to extract thumbnails. If I do it on import, importing takes a really really long time. If I do it on first view, viewing galleries becomes a pain because you have to wait for the thumbnails to generate.
As far as exhentai stuff goes, it's just a simple cbz manager. It uses the filename to extract circle/artist/parody/title details but doesn't do anything to fetch additional details. Does the json file you mentioned have any kind of standard format? I've always considered doing something similar but the problem always comes down standards.

>If I do it on import, importing takes a really really long time What are you using for thumbnailing? I'm developing a Hydrus alternative and thumbnailing is pretty fast in my case.
These two are the only options to get proper metadata so that searching for things is actually useful. Disregard all those "use a filemanger only" fags, they have no clue what they are even talking about. Also, lanraragi supports eze json in archives but doesn't have ex image search support. You should use that since ex support is coming soon and it's already more lightweight and better than hpx in most regards. hpx is a heavy python piece of shit compared to lan.

I generate a thumbnail for every page
Even if there's no compression, generating thumbnails for every page from hundreds of 50-200mb files takes a fair amount of time. I have about 30gb of doujinshi and I'd like the process to take less than a few seconds but I don't think I can unless I generate thumbnails on the fly.
Jason Barnes
Not him but what are you using to generate thumbs? Are you extracting them with an archive library or are you using native unzip/unrar/7z etc.? reading the first image heavily depends on the type of archive, 7z for example defaults to solid mode and thus you would need to extract the whole thing before getting any usable data, for others you could try to just copy the first 20000000 Bytes or something like that and hope for the best. I do it like this in my exe launcher to get ico's from exe files. Basically. >if file.size() > maxBytes >write new file with maxBytes size to tmp >extract what i want >delete the trash Should work for most archives i think. Of course a fallback is needed in case something goes wrong.
I hope you weren't talking about thumbnails to browse an archive or something like that.
Jonathan Fisher
Sorry i didnt hear you through my ssd
Aiden Cook
Just generate a thumbnail for the cover on import and a lazily generate thumbnails for all other pages on view.
Joshua Morgan
Masturbate to hentai you loser. Stop being a conservative christian on Jow Forums.
Kevin Williams
This is not needed if the decompression library supports streaming or selective reads. Lowers memory usage as a bonus.
Gabriel Foster
Kek I thought you talked about Hydrus for a moment there.
I'm not a programmer, but wouldn't it be easier to point each gallery to a thumbnail in a temporary folder or something? Have you heard of Musicbee? It creates a folder with low res thumbnails and I've never noticed any slowdowns or whatever. Are you using low res thumbnails or high res thumbnails?
Regarding JSON files, yeah, it basically includes everything. Gallery ID, tags, pages, filenames, title (both eng and jap), you name it. Google "eze sadpanda" and install the userscript and try it, it's very straight forward, trust me. If you don't want to do it, I'll copy and paste an example unto pastebin or whatever to show you.
Jonathan Nelson
I don't want to use Lanaragi because I'm only trying to access my collection on one device, and not on all of my devices. I also use a third party tool to read cbz files, and Lanaragi uses its own reader.

>Where is the code? >Development on HPX will continue in private. HPX will still befreeand developed on just like always. The translations and documentation will stay open-source so that anyone is free to contribute if they want. Plugins will also stay open-source and can be found at the [plugin repo(github.com/happypandax/plugins). >Why?No one was really contributing so I see no reason in HPX being open-source.
Definitely. Even if no one contributed yet, how is that reason to make it closed source? I don't trust this.
Aaron Foster
DON'T lewd Chris, she is pure.
Jason Roberts
Probably embarrassed over shit code and/or added malicious code to it.
I've never seen anyone do this before, not even the losers in CS courses would degrade themselves and hide their shitty code, so it's kinda funny. I actually have been laughing about it for twenty minutes now.
>The translations and documentation will stay open-source so that anyone is free to contribute if they want Translated: >You are free to work for nothing on things i can't do so that i can get even more shekels. Thanks, you fucking retard. Just take a look at his previous project, the one without x. I have almost no clue about python+qt but even i can tell that he is retarded. How can one make a gui slow down to a crawl if it is just displaying 20~30 thumbs? Those popups are also a sign of massive retardation. Seriously, he should have done something without gui for his first project and then delved more into object oriented programming to get the basics of not fucking up.
Also, did anyone try to actually use hpx? Absolutely horrible experience stuffed with as much web3.0 cancer he possible could stuff in there.
Aaron Gonzalez
I don't understand the point of hpx and lanraragi. Are they both trying to be servers so that everyone on the same network can access and read doujins?
That shit is cool, but I doubt that's what most people want to do.
Ian Cook
It can be used like that but for me it is a way to sort my downloaded doujins and still have access to tags and all that shit. It's extremely useful to sort my things to current fetish of the day without looking something up online. Also, accessing localhost is fast as hell so there isn't really a problem with latency on the same machine. I would have preferred a local client but i can absolutely understand wanting to write something that works everywhere without having to code for multiple platforms.
Owen Howard
I'm making my own local server to be my f**k* panda like reader. Motivation? I like browser tabs and I prefer gallery browser and reader being in the same environment, also endless scrolling.
i store things by fetish\series title (if necessary)\character name\_doujin, the parent of the last folder is where any stray images of said character go, sorted into subfolders as i see fit, and i store doujinshi as CBZ with a thumbnail program i got some time ago. works good enough for me.
Joseph Martin
My autism wouldn't let me do this, what about duplicates? There is a huge amount of shit with multiple fetishes so manually fiddling with symlinks is time better spent on learning to automate it. Thus, here we are with clients and servers that do that shit for us.
Hunter Baker
by fetish i mean major fetish. i literally just have loli, shota, and vanilla as parent folders, and the characters i like i just throw them in there. as for dupes, i typically save from gelbooru and sadpanda and never change original filenames so dupes are not even an issue.
miku is my waifu so i have a lot of subfolders for pics i save of her.
