Question about other Philomena boorus #43

Closed nexusofconcordia closed 4 years ago

nexusofconcordia commented 4 years ago

Hello! Will other Philomena boorus be supported in the future as well, or will this project stay Derpibooru exclusive?

Sibusten commented 4 years ago

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!!

Sibusten commented 4 years ago

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"?

basisbit commented 4 years ago

By flavor I meant the different not 100% same forks of philomena, which might have slightly different API?

Sibusten commented 4 years ago

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.

nexusofconcordia commented 4 years ago

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?

Sibusten commented 4 years ago

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.

New release is up with this implemented: v2.1.0
