PIL extracts frames with durations, saves as animated GIF.
Non-animated PNG/WebP kept as-is. Converted on download and
on cache access (for already-cached files). Same pattern as
ugoira zip conversion.
Some boorus return empty/HTML responses for tag-limited queries.
All API clients now catch JSON parse errors and return empty
results instead of crashing.
Shared client doesn't set Referer globally since it varies per
domain. Now passed as per-request header so Gelbooru CDN doesn't
return HTML captcha pages.
Single shared httpx.AsyncClient for all BooruClient instances
(Danbooru, Gelbooru, Moebooru) with connection pooling.
E621 gets its own shared client (custom User-Agent required).
Site detection also reuses the shared client.
Eliminates per-request TLS handshakes on Windows.
- Bookmarks DB now stores tag_categories as JSON
- Migration adds column to existing favorites table
- Bookmark info panel uses stored categories directly
- Falls back to library_meta if bookmark has no categories
- Tag click in info panel: clears preview, switches to Browse, searches
- Migrate library_meta to add tag_categories column
- Info panel always updates (not gated on isVisible)
- Library info shows status bar with score/rating
- Save indicator: changed elif to if so Saved always triggers
- Bookmark info panel always populated
- tag_categories stored as JSON in library_meta table
- Library and Bookmarks info panels show categorized tags
- Bookmarks falls back to library_meta for categories
- Added Unsave from Library to bookmarks right-click menu
- library_meta table stores tags, score, rating, source per post
- Metadata saved automatically when saving from Browse
- Search box in Library tab filters by tags via DB lookup
- Works with all file types
Shared httpx.AsyncClient reuses TLS connections across thumbnail
downloads — avoids 40 separate TLS handshakes per page on Windows.
Score spinbox widened to 90px with explicit arrow buttons.
When enabled, hides prev/next buttons and loads more posts
automatically when scrolling to the bottom. Posts appended
to the grid, deduped against already-shown posts. Restart
required to toggle.
- Add prefetch_adjacent, clear_cache_on_exit, slideshow_monitor,
library_dir to _DEFAULTS for fresh installs
- Replace all silent except-pass with logged warnings
Major restructure of the favorites/library system:
- Rename "Favorites" to "Bookmarks" throughout (DB API, GUI, signals)
- Add Library tab for browsing saved files on disk with sorting
- Decouple bookmark from save — independent operations now
- Two indicators on thumbnails: star (bookmarked), green dot (saved)
- Both indicators QSS-controllable (qproperty-bookmarkedColor/savedColor)
- Unbookmarking no longer deletes saved files
- Saving no longer auto-bookmarks
- Library tab: folder sidebar, sort by date/name/size, async thumbnails
- DB table kept as "favorites" internally for migration safety
- Prefetch adjacent posts is now a toggle in Settings > General (off by default)
- Prefetch progress bar on thumbnails shows download state
- Blacklist Post: right-click to hide a specific post by URL
- "Create from Template" opens themes reference on git.pax.moe
and spawns the default text editor with custom.qss
- Artist (gold), Character (green), Copyright (purple), Species
(red), General, Meta/Lore (gray)
- Danbooru and e621 provide categories from API
- Gelbooru/Moebooru fall back to flat tag list
Logs every outgoing connection (API requests and image downloads)
with timestamps. Network tab in Settings shows all hosts contacted
this session with request counts. No telemetry, just transparency.
- Replace per-operation thread spawning with a single persistent
asyncio event loop (saves ~10-50ms per async operation)
- Pre-scan saved directories into sets instead of per-post
exists() calls (~80+ syscalls reduced to a few iterdir())
- Add add_favorites_batch() for single-transaction bulk inserts
- Add missing indexes on favorites.folder and favorites.favorited_at
- Add "Clear cache on exit" checkbox in Settings > Cache
- Fix ugoira zip conversion: don't crash if frames fail, verify gif
exists before deleting zip
- Arrow key past last/first post loads next/prev page
Previously cached .zip files passed the valid media check and were
returned without conversion. Now zips are detected and converted
to GIF before the general cache check.
- Detect .zip files (Pixiv ugoira) and convert frames to animated GIF
- Cache the converted GIF so subsequent loads are instant
- Add filetype field to the info panel
- Add ZIP to valid media magic bytes
Supports Danbooru, Gelbooru, Moebooru, and e621. Features include tag search
with autocomplete, favorites with folders, save-to-library, video playback,
drag-and-drop, multi-select, custom CSS theming, and cross-platform support.
