Danbooru Downloader Update

Got free time, have nothing to do and bored, result:

• Updated my apps for batch downloading from *booru compatible image board, now supporting XML for defining the *booru site, I’m separating the list from my apps, so you can add your own list of *booru board.
• Supporting XML or JSON for image list retrieval.
• Saving the retrieved list.
• Using WebClient class for downloading and use the Asynchronous method for download = more responsive UI and I don’t need to handle the lower things 🙂
• Needs .NET 4
• Screen shoot:

Main tab:

1. Provider: The *booru image board list, loaded from DanbooruProviderList.xml.
2. JSON/XML radio button: some site won’t allow you to listing the XML, so use JSON.
3. Generated: generate the query using provided text boxes or you can enter manually.
4. Tag, Limit, Source, Page, Order by, and Rating: basically the query for searching.
5. Get button: get the list!
6. List File: Load saved list.
7. Save: Save folder.
8. List button: Show the list contents.
9. Clear list: Clear the list.
10. Download/Pause: Download selected images. For pausing, it will wait until the last download finished.
11. Save Query: Save the query to file, or just show it.
12. Auto Load List: Automatically load the list content (ignored if Save query is not checked).
13. Append List: Append the list
14. Load Preview: Load the preview images.
15. Auto Load Next Page: Load the next available page (wait for 500ms), will append the list .

Settings tab:

1. Proxy Address, Proxy Port, and Use Proxy: proxy configuration.
2. User agent: User agent setting.
3. Filename format: format of the file for saving.
4. Filename Length Limit: Windows have limit for the filename, so this is used for controlling the cut.
5. Overwrite File.
6. Save button: saving the config.

DanbooruProviderList.xml format:

1. Name: Image board name.
2. URL: Image board complete url
3. Query String JSON: usually /post/index.json?, %_query% will be replaced with actual query from the apps
4. Query String XML:usually /post/index.xml?, %_query% will be replaced with actual query from the apps
5. Preferred: Xml or Json, some site usually only allow Json
6. Default limit: ignored for now…

Get it in here, and as usual, use at your own risk 🙂
