Is there any way you can get a built in booru? i would like to be able to download images and have the tags for them added to the booru is that alot to ask?

Bionus commented 8 years ago

Depends on the booru in question. Can you post the link? Most of them are already based off existing ones so they can be added from the "Sources" window. For more complex ones that requires changing the program's source code, it's usually not in the plan before version 5 (as stated in issue #553).

Zekken01 commented 8 years ago

i meant so you can view the pictures in you downloaded in the downloader and have them retain their tags and everything kind of like a local booru that rips the tags also sorry i wasnt specific enough

Zekken01 commented 8 years ago

kind of like this https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/ but its built in

I'm not really sure about this.

I believe it should better be left to another software, such as picasa or a local Gelbooru. Browsing and downloading have many different features to implement (re-tagging, editing, resizing, more advanced search, indexing, etc) and I believe having it stored outside and browsed in a local booru (which is easily feasible, see here) be a better idea.

What I thought before was to allow to "search" such local booru the same way we can browse distant ones, but I don't think it would be wise to add a full featured booru directly inside the software (unless it's just something really basic, which is not what is asked here).

Why do you believe it's better to include it in the program and not use some local danbooru and gelbooru, which already have lots of features? (especially designed for this)

it dont need to be advanced, but i didnt know how advanced tags are

It would be quite an effort to make Grabber usable locally. An alternative which is already possible is hosting your own board locally, as already mentioned. It's possible to configure Grabber to export images to your board. More details are available in the wiki detailing 3 separate board types. I've really enjoyed using Shimmie in the form of a local board, as I feel is just a bit cleaner than Gelbooru and it also has a few different themes including one that mimics the look of Gelbooru 2.0.

I have a local board (shimmie) installed and tried adding it back into Grabber. Everything about it seemed to work (except for the images didn't show up) which means if you're willing to go through the trouble of making your own board, importing the images into it as described in the docs, then all you have to do is add it as a source and you can use it directly in Grabber as was requested.

I'm guessing the images not showing is a minor thing. The tags were all there, it just said no result. I will play around with the XML and see if I can get it to work.
