Current wishlist

[ghost]

This list will only contain features requested through Discord under the #wishlist channel just for my sanity sake.

Items which appeared in the latest feature vote will not be listed here either.

DOWNLOAD SYSTEM PROVEMENTS

• Quick restart of a gallery until it finds known URL/files.
• Retry failed downloads due to a faulty internet connection on a scheduled basis instead of removing them from the queue.
• Publishing a subscription into a gallery-like page e.g show a new page with all the subscriptions syncd in the last hour, each one being a query that needs to be highlighted to be shown
• New type of parser/URL class where instead of returning Gallery, Post, Watcher, or File, it should Return string/tags, or queries e.g. .csv file with tags for the Danbooru parser to query the website with. Should only require to update the .csv to change what's downloaded. Acknowledged by Devman, waiting for the next iteration of the downloader alongside polishing the idea
• Default bandwidth rules in the easy import .png
• URL removing in selection by RegEx pattern match, substitution or right-click context menu
• Favorite system for subscriptions so those marked get priority in term of network and processing
• Bandwidth rule that allows to set a "live" limit on data transfer e.g. "Allow only 500kb/s"
• Total progress of sub instead of each query e.g. 50/100 traps in gelbooru query, 7 queries remaining
• UTC timestamp to ISO date text in content parsing
• Extraction of data directly from URL in addition to fetched html/JSON context
• System to be considered busy when syncing a sub so idle maintenance does not trigger. Acknowledged by Dev
• Download speed in the gallery downloader to become a rolling average
• Default tag import options to import tags by default
• Reverse download order for gallery downloads

DUPLICATE FILTER IMPROVEMENTS

• Mark the parts of the images with the highest difference
• Sorting of dupes based on user preferences. For example, dupe check first those images with creator:pusc first.
• Color-coded differences e.g color "Higher resolution" in green
• Make categories persistent so all aspects are always shown
• Floaty window/second screen support e.g have a floating window on the right showcasing the main differences between both files

PERFORMANCE/UNDER THE HOOD IMPROVEMENTS

• Store/cache the BMPs of both images when using the Dupe Filter so they're not constantly re-rerendered
• XPath support
• Selection of maintenance jobs to be performed during idle time.

QUALITY OF LIFE (TAGGING WORKFLOW) IMPROVEMENTS

• Sort favorite tags by incidence
• Refresh tag recommendation after adding a tag
• Group images by alternates
• Redistributed popups, especially for subscriptions e.g. show errors in a smaller column next to the main one showing progress
• Duplicate page on right-click context menu
• The ability to use things like duration, resolution, system:.. in sorting scheme. e.g. hair-eyes-duration[low>high]-time importet[high>low]
• When selecting files, show selected files out of total e.g. 53 out of 197 files in current page
• Quick-add tag(s) to a subscription (from a right-click menu)
• General file entry (as in, inbox) to receive a built-in macro system in which a single keypress may execute multiple functions.
• Higher resolution support with increased max thumbsize and scaler for fonts Devman has acknowledged the 200px thumbnails
• More sorting options alongside the current tags/import time
• Zoom improvement
• Custom import actions e.g. import and then do MD5 search on Gelbooru
• Addition of commonly used RegEx
• Key modifiers for the mouse wheel e.g. holding "a" while scrolling downwards applies "anime" tag
• Siblings for namespaces e.g sibling creator: to artist: Acknowledged by Devman
• Underscores to be used as empty spaces when searching tags in Hydrus e.g _looking__ should give _looking_at_viewer__ and looking at viewer Acknowledged by Devman
• HTML parsing being able to transition into API
• Context menu option to add search terms to favorites
• WEBP support Acknowledged by Devman, awaiting for PIL
• Mass IQDB or equivalent tag searching
• Auto checking using default tag lookup scripts of recently downloaded/imported files
• Context option to go to an image origin e.g. After downloading images from a watcher and working on them through another page (like system:limit 50), right click on it to open the page that downloaded them (4chan watcher)
• Left-side UI split. "Processing" related buttons would stay on the left side (for example, downloader related options, file import options) while the tags get a new column on the right side. e.g. https://i.imgur.com/pmcxewN.png (OC by Losers, donut steal)
• Dockable UI
• Tags retain source metadata e.g. manual tagging, Pixiv tagging, AI-generated, X-booru...
• The ability to search for number of tags within a namespace or a simple pattern with wildcards e.g. number of "character:anything" less than 2
• When right clicking and going to open new search pages for each in selection it could show the number of tags selected at the bottom left.
• Send all inboxed files from any query to a new tab with a simple right click on the query.
• Select a favorite tab in the tag manager
• Allow to sort tags in tag manager/selection tags windows/sidebar with similiar namespace sorting sheme options as in sort/collect.
• Tag presentation on thumbnail bottom left
• Truncate the tags or sibling them just for the tag presentation e.g. language:english => eng
• An option/toggle to make anything that goes through the dupe filtered and is not deleted (as in, is a worse image or just straight up deleted) archived in the inbox
• Tagging filter, where using it on a group of files would apply tag A or B depending on what click is used
• Sort certain mimes depending on their inherent qualities e.g JPEG by quality index, audio and vide by bitrate v338 added bitrate sorting
• Rename siblings to "aliases" and parents to "implications"

Reminder that I2P AKAGE support for QR code login on laser vinyls so you can access Hydrus through .onion links in your Raspberry so you can apply meta tagging based on HDR pixelation of interpolated frames is not a realistic feature.*

Wishlist currently goes back to September 2018 included.

*Yes, I'm gonna keep adding bullshit there.

@QueenHek I see what you did there.

Sorted the wishlist in four big groups.

As of January posts with an OK on #wishlist have been added. Some big features will not be added until further input from dev or from other users, since there's nearly multi-paragraph ones. I do add them in an extremely brief basis here.

Those should be handled by API. Dev probably knows about these.

I won't be adding those to the wishlist since I'm focusing on client-side releases.
