Add more options to the config for filtering posts.

As commented by @gjennks here.

I added some options to the config for filtering posts.

I dont know how well I coded it as I dont know a massive amount, but I have made it so it can filter posts by file type, rating and score as well as tags (more info in const.py).

More filters.zip

I just leave the rating and score to the tags: score:</>/=x rating:s/q/e. I feel like its unnecessary to implement something twice. The score filter might work, as it will save a tag, but the rating filter limits someone who wants to have safe images in one search, and explicit images in another, same with the file type.

Have a look in the files, its is not global filters, its like the tags, tailored to each filter group.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I skimmed over everything between classes. That sounds like a great idea, no clue why I didn't think of that myself. It would slightly increase the time it takes to search and filter through the posts, but I think that is worth the two extra tags.

It also helps lower download amount if you filter out swf and webm as they can be considerably larger than just image files (gif can be large too).

[Wulfre]

I personally just use the -animated tag, assuming that they are tagged correctly. It might be better to group swf and webm together as 'animated' and group the rest as 'images' and filter between those. Gifs are a bit of a grey area.

But then some post have a webm and a swf version, maybe some would only want to get one of the versions.

The only real issue would be dealing with jpg, png, and single frame gifs. I can see separating webm and swf, but separating the 3 image types would be tedious for the end user.

EDIT: I just noticed that filtering is currently done in serial. Ill probably rewrite it to be multiprocessed, or at least multithreaded and then I can fit in your ideas.

Ye, my coding knowledge is minimal so I basically just did it as simple as possible.
Well tbh the main reason I wanted it there was for separating webm and swf, as its excluding what is listed it might be nice to have the option of 'images' that would be equivalent to 'jpg, png, gif'

To be honest, my coding isn't the best either. I learned all my python from reading the original version of this script and researching how to improve it little by little.

Right now I need to figure out how to clean up some of the individual variables in the filter while keeping it easy to read, so hopefully I can speed it up and add in more options.
