Manual/customizable rpdl search #60

Closed baloneysammich closed 1 year ago

baloneysammich commented 1 year ago

I've used the tool to grab a lot of torrents from rpdl, but for the first time it failed to yield expected results for Depraved Town: Remake. It was bound to happen eventually I guess. So it made we wonder if you could make it possible to customize the rpdl search, or even do completely manual searches:

  1. In the RPDL torrent search dialogue, present a text entry field pre-filled with the failed query if no results are found so user can customize it.
  2. Have the text entry field always present in the RPDL torrent search dialogue, just auto-initiate a search with the "default" query when the 🔍 Search button is pressed. And whether or not a search yields results, always leave the query in the field.
  3. Allow searching for rpdl torrents through the main interface text box by prefixing with rpdl: or such.

I realize this is a trivial "issue" (it's a feature request really) since we can just use the website. But I figured there's no harm in asking.

Will look into it not finding the game, probably a trivial name conversion problem. And yes, a search bar would be very beneficial :)

As for invoking it from the main interface, that would need relocatingsome code, nothing too major. As of rhow to invoke it, your idea with the bottom bar does sound good, but we'll have to see what happens with the whole filter system (havent figured it out yet) so ill probably wait for that.

In this case I'm guessing it's the weird torrent name "DepravedTown-0.3.0Remake" which unsurprisingly doesn't jive with the query "DepravedTownRemake".

Fact is, I've never felt the need to do a custom search from the tool so I wouldn't mind if it doesn't happen. But since it would presumably call up the same dialogue it seemed worth suggesting.

Implemented via 173af7c79e8db4aa3a7610c90da32d31ee4d56b5, latest build includes it :D

Also included a note on the popup to donate to rpdl :smile:

@baloneysammich despite the manual query being a fix, If you ever come across a failed search due to mismatch, let them know on their discord. Speaking from experience, since they link back to the tool, any mismatch due to odd naming they'll fix almost instantly by renaming the torrent to match the query. Just let them know the query term that failed.
