3 years ago This offshoot is missing several significant features compared to Waifu2x-Extension-GUI
This is not an offshoot of any other project. It was written completely from scratch with macOS native APIs.
As the original author of this project, believe it or not, I have never used this project to process a single image I need. It was requested by others here.
For your use cases, you could write a simple script (for example in Python) to achieve them for now. I might consider adding more features to the GUI in the future. Please be patient.
This offshoot is missing several significant features compared to Waifu2x-Extension-GUI, with two glaring examples. One, it can't do bulk conversions or convert multiple files in a folder at once. Two, it does not remember subfolders, e.g. consistently stay where to pick files and where to save them. It all makes converting more than a couple of images extremely tedious especially compared to Windows programs. Why exactly is there no bulk conversion and is there any chance the folders where files are picked and saved can stay the same over different file conversions? It would be nice if the CLI could do bulk conversions with a wildcard (e.g. waifu2x -i /Users/Me/Downloads/Pictures/.jpg -o /Users/Me/Pictures/.png) which would render the other issue moot. I don't know what it means but currently doing this in the CLI outputs "With Alpha: False /n Really With Alpha: False."
