Danbooru Client

Danbooru Client is an application to access Danbooru-based image boards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard#Danbooru-style_boards). Those boards offer a REST and POST API which is used by this program.

Features:

- Connect to any Danbooru board (three predefined)
- Download up to 100 images with selectable tags;
- Repeat query over mulitple pages;
- Download or view images with the KDE preferred image viewer;
- Download pools (on boards that support it);
- Tag semantically the images using Nepomuk.

Requirements:

- PyQt (at least version 4.5)
- PyKDE4 (from KDE SC 4.7 RC2 or newer)
- (optional) Nepomuk
- Python (at least version 2.5)

Installation:

Although this is a PyKDE4 application, it uses CMake to do its work. So this means that you\'ll need a working compiler and the KDE headers installed (even though they won\'t be even touched).
Then, follow the steps:

- unpack
- cd to the source directory
- mkdir build; cd build
- cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ../
- make
- make install as root (or via sudo)

Known issues:

- Empty cells appear if you don\'t fill all the rows
- Danbooru API wrapper is not complete
- Sometimes jobs stall and it is impossible to fetch more pages
- Pool functionality removed, pending rewrite

Future plans:

- Setting wallpapers with D'n'D to Plasma
- Tag auto completion

If you have specific suggestions, let me know.

I have been programming for a while, but this is my first proper GUI and KDE application. Comments are welcome.

1.1.1
- Critical fix: Install ui files
- Use CMake macros from kdelibs (future-proofing for 4.10 when it will be out)
1.1
- Full Python3 support
- When connecting, posts are automatically retrieved
- Pool lists are now downloaded immediately, and the button now fetches more results (UI needs improvement)

1.0.4
- Further fixes for Python 3 compatibility (but it doesn't work yet, UI files need to be generated at build time)
- Rework UI again
- KWallet support for passwords (working for yande.re, danbooru.donmai.us, konachan.[com|net])

1.0.3
- Fixes for Python 3 compatibility
- "Apply" works again with configuration
- Reworked internal XML parsing, pools should work again
- Support for tag blacklists and maximum rating in pool downloads

1.0.2
- UI adjustments

1.0.1
- Fix a critical bug where the OK button for connecting was not shown

1.0.0
- Clicking on an image now displays the image in the preferred viewer
- Context menu for downloading, viewing and copying image links
- Connection modal dialog removed, now an integrated widget
- Some improvements in the Nepomuk handling

0.9.9
- Correctly reset display / tags when connecting more than once
- Add support in the backend to report errors when downloading (not plugged in the UI yet)

0.9.8
- Add the possibility of hiding / showing the tag dock

0.9.7
- Fixed yet another import problem

0.9.6
- Fixed an issue where build system did not install some files

0.9.5
- Support for pools is back!
- New pool interface, using a dock in the main window: let me know if the default size is acceptable
- Known issue: "next page" is enabled when viewing pools (should be disabled) and in that case clicking it yields completely different results
- Currently pools do not honor blacklisting and rating limits, let me know if these should be enforced

0.9
- Massive internal adjustments, resulting in more maintainable code
- Danbooru API completely revamped and made simpler
- Tags have a dedicated widget
- Fetching now gets real related tags
- Fixed Nepomuk tagging
- Updated default URLs
- Requires PyKDE4 from KDE SC 4.7 RC2 or newer

0.8.1
- Minor improvement on the action dialog
- Remove a couple errors in the code

0.8
- Similar tags showed while browsing images
- Support for tag retrieval
- Better integration of Nepomuk
- Ability to search by similar tags
- Reworked action dialog

Most of the above has been adapted by a patch originally sent by Yuen Hoe Lim. Thanks!

0.6.1
- Website checking is now asynchronous
- Fixed a random crash that would happen when downloads finished (only affected KDE SC 4.4)

0.6
- Switched API from JSON to XML (better compatibility)
- Support for pools (only the first page at the moment) - notice that it will not work with moe.imouto.org as they don't implement the API properly
- Tag blacklists now are also used to filter out posts, i.e. if tag FOO is blacklisted, posts with tag FOO will not be downloaded

0.5.1
- Fetch post dialog reworked (please give feedback)
- Addition of default rating: now you can configure the default rating for fetching posts

0.5
- Major code refactoring
- Support for pagination: the same query can be spread across multiple pages (like browsing the actual image board)
- Support for translations: if you are a translator, you can find the .pot file in the po directory of the archive. Please send me translations, and I'll make them available.

0.4.1
- Fix a bug that completely crippled showing thumbnails
- Minor code optimization

0.4
