It could be done if there is enough interest in it. The program is a bit frustrating to modify (5+ year old code). I've been working on a new browser and downloader for Philomena sites
would be nice to to be able to specify a philomena server url as well as a philomena flavor (derpibooru/furbooru/booru) either in a config file or the UI. Also, thank you so much for continuing development of this software!!
I would likely do it as a text entry for the domain url, as that should be enough. Unsure whether it should be a global setting, or tied to the queries so it can be saved.
What do you mean by "flavor"?
By flavor I meant the different not 100% same forks of philomena, which might have slightly different API?
Forks should not change existing API, or at least be compatible. This program will not need any special logic if that is the case, and I will not be adding support for sites which break the API.
That's fair - and adding it as a text entry sounds like a good way to do it. Out of curiosity - 5 years old code? Is this based on the old command line tool that got abandoned then got several forks that updated it for API changes?
Nope, I didn't know about any other downloaders when I first made this. It was originally just a scraping tool that got the newest images off Derpi, then I expanded it.
Hello! Will other Philomena boorus be supported in the future as well, or will this project stay Derpibooru exclusive?
