🔍 Content Search & Post Tags in Gallery

  • Search post content and descriptions: Searching in the Gallery now looks inside post descriptions, titles, and creator tags, so you can find files even if their filenames don't say what they are.
  • Expanded tag filtering: The tag menu now displays creator tags alongside your Known characters, letting you filter your gallery by themes, styles, and custom tags.
  • Automatic character tagging for generic files: Numbered or generic filenames (like image_01.png) are now automatically tagged if the character is mentioned in the post's title or description.
  • Direct tag searching: You can now search for specific tags in the Gallery search bar using tag:name (such as tag:swimsuit or tag:"concept art").
  • Blazing fast on huge collections: High-performance caching keeps searches and tag menus completely smooth, even for libraries with hundreds of thousands of files.

⏱️ Smarter & More Accurate Time Estimates (ETA)

  • More accurate time remaining: The download countdown now adapts smoothly to your real network speeds, giving you much more dependable estimates from start to finish.
  • Pausing no longer breaks estimates: Pausing and resuming downloads no longer causes the time remaining to skyrocket or report misleading speeds.
  • Realistic estimates for videos and archives: Downloads with large videos or archives now estimate remaining time accurately instead of assuming every file is a small image.
  • Failed downloads no longer skew the timer: Files that fail quickly (such as missing links or server errors) won't trick the timer into thinking downloads are finishing faster than they are.

⏸️ Independent Batch Pause & Queue Improvements

  • Pause individual creator batches: You can now pause and resume downloads for a specific creator or post batch without interrupting any other ongoing downloads.
  • Clearer cancel button: The batch cancel button now uses a distinct cancel symbol (✕) instead of a pause icon so you can easily tell pause and cancel apart.
  • Queue display fixes: Status badges and progress counters no longer overflow card borders or overlap progress bars when processing large queues.

🎨 Filter Presets & Quick Keyword Profiles

  • Filter presets for common files: Choose ready-made filter profiles from a new dropdown—such as skipping WIPs and sketches, filtering out low-resolution previews, or skipping watermarks—without having to type keyword rules manually.
  • One-click keyword chips: Quick-add buttons under the filter boxes let you append terms like WIP, Sketch, Preview, and file size limits with a single tap.
  • Automatic profile detection: Editing or clearing your filter keywords automatically syncs the preset dropdown to reflect your custom settings.

📥 Add & Queue Batches During Active Downloads

  • Add links while downloading: You no longer have to wait for your current downloads to finish before adding more URLs or loading batch lists.
  • Seamless queueing at the end: Entering a URL or adding batches automatically appends them to the end of the active download session without interrupting ongoing files.
  • Independent filter settings per batch: Newly queued batches remember and respect their own filter settings, so each creator or URL can use different rules and size limits.

🛠️ Fixes & Reliability

  • False "file does not exist" errors fixed: Transient server hiccups and busy connection drops are now automatically retried after a short pause instead of permanently marking files as missing.
  • Disabled thumbnail settings now strictly honored: Low-resolution previews and post cover thumbnails are no longer downloaded when thumbnail options are disabled.
  • Smarter rate limit pacing: Server cooldowns are now properly waited out so files no longer fail in rapid bursts when downloading large creator libraries.
  • Automatic temporary link refresh: Large files hosted on temporary storage that previously failed with access errors now automatically refresh their download links and continue seamlessly.
