![]() The blacklist button will let you skip downloading files that have certain tags (perhaps you would like to auto-skip all images with gore, scat, or diaper?), again using the tag filter, while the whitelist enables you to only allow files that have at least one of a set of tags. If you feel brave, click that 'all tags' button, which will take you into hydrus's advanced 'tag filter', which allows you to select which of the incoming list of tags will be added. Many users like to just get everything on offer, but others only ever want, say, creator, series, and character tags. Different sites offer different kinds and qualities of tags, and the client's downloaders (which were designed by me, the dev, or a user) may parse all or only some of them. It is easy to get tens of thousands of tags by downloading this way. Most of the controls have tooltips or longer explainers in sub-dialogs, so don't be afraid to try things. Have a play around with the options here as you figure things out. A new client is set to get all tags for 'downloader tags' service. If you add the PTR, that will get a new box too. You can see that each tag service on your client has a separate section. To keep things easy to manage, a new downloader will refer to the 'default' tag import options for a website, but for now let's set some values just for this downloader: ![]() It governs which tags are parsed and where they go. This is an important dialog, although you will not need to use it much. On the downloader page, click tag import options: As you use the client, you will figure out which tags you like and where you want them. You don't have to do anything, you will get some decent tags. Parsing ¶īy default, hydrus now starts with a local tag service called 'downloader tags' and it will parse (get) all the tags from normal gallery sites and put them in this service. Import destinations See multiple file services, an advanced feature. If you want to redownload previously deleted files turning off exclude previously deleted files will have Hydrus ignore deletion status. Pre-import checks Pretty self-explanatory for the most part. There's a few more tickboxes if you turn on advanced mode File import settings ¶įile import settings has a number of options that deal with the files being downloaded and what should happen to them. (Works with the API) Simple downloader Intended for simple one-off jobs like grabbing all linked images in a page. Watcher Imageboard thread downloader, such as 4chan, 8chan, and what else exists. Use gallery downloader to get everything and a subscription to keep updated. Subscriptions Repeated gallery jobs, for keeping up to date with an artist or tag. ![]() (Works with the API) Gallery For big download jobs such as an artist's catalogue, everything with a given tag on a booru. ![]() This is a short summary of them: URL download Intended for single posts or images. Downloader types ¶ There are a number of different downloader types, each with its own purpose. Remember that you can pause your import queues, if you need to calm things down a bit. I also recommend you try to keep your total loaded files/urls to be under 20,000 to keep things snappy. Keep it in mind, and you'll figure out what your computer is happy with. You'll usually never notice this with just one hard drive import going, but if you have twenty different download queues all competing for database access and individual 0.1-second hits of heavy CPU work, you will discover your client starts to judder and lag. It also takes a decent whack of CPU to import a file. If you can realistically only archive/delete filter 50 files a day, there is little benefit to downloading 500 new files a day. Figure out what workflows work for you, how fast you process files, what content you actually want, how much bandwidth and hard drive space you have, and prioritise and throttle your incoming downloads to match. Many users get overexcited with their new ability to download 500,000 files and then do so, only discovering later that 98% of what they got was junk that they now have to wade through. It is very important that you take this slow. ![]()
