[Feature Request] user collections

[trailjeep]

I love this plugin, thanks! Could you add ability to set user collections in addition to search tags? I hacked it in for my needs, but it would be nice as a configurable option.

Yes. I thought about this while I was building the plugin too. I'll try to add something to support user collections.

Just wanting to second this request. I found a way to download my collection and view them like a slideshow.

@trailjeep Any chance you made your "hack" as a change to the code of this plugin, and is there like a pull request or something I could use?

Sorry, it is an ugly hack that just does what I want. Here is the diff file if you know what to do (basically edit 1 line and comment out 3 others):

Of course, you would have to reverse changes to use as intended.

I learned more about the collections API and it's not a swap-in replacement for a query. You have to input the desired username, for example. This will require some UI changes to swap between collections or queries. Not an insurmountable change, but more complex than a simple radio group.
