Any opinions on restic, attic, duplicacy, duplicati and suplicity?

I attempted to use Hydrus to manage my hentai. I got 2000 images in (~5%) before realizing it wasn't worth it and have been dumping everything in a single uncategorized folder since.

I never actually look at images I've saved anyway. Searching for new ones gives more pleasure.

>>899851

It may not be the best for an old collection of images, but you can use it to download from boorus, pixiv, etc. and have images automatically saved with their tags for easy searching. When batch downloading, you can set it to collect tags for images you already have, so for some of your old stuff at least you might be able to collect the tags for it automatically rather than manually if the image hash still matches.

>>899851

Shockingly similar to my experience. Without an easy way to import images from an existing collection I have no incentive to start using it. Plus it's kind of annoying not being able to retain things like file names.

>>899856

>>899851

There's an anon on /tech/ that's working on his own booru which automatically scrapes sites to find matches for images and adds the tags to help get around the problem of getting started with a large, untagged collection.

If you download your manga instead of buying them, get a tablet and get yourself the app Comic Screen. No ads, you can slide the pages and the reading comfort is undeniable, on top of having lots of manga on a single platform that's easily to carry everywhere.

I'm reading manga more gladly since I got a tablet, so much that I bring it everywhere with me.

>>899858

That still wouldn't be very useful for me because what I really want is to tag my reaction image folder. The vast majority of those images are obviously not going to be on boorus and even if they were I want to come up with my own tags that are specifically meant for sorting reaction images, not just describing absolutely everything in the image necessarily.

Really all it should have is some kind of queue where you can select multiple files to import and then just go through them one by one, giving you a preview, a box for typing tags and a list of recently used tags I can just click on for each. Basically what danbooru does. I imagine I could get through them reasonably quickly that way.

I guess Hydrus isn't perfect, but the project >>899858 is referring to has admitted that Hydrus is way more powerful in the long run (the chicken image).

>>899854

>>899858

Of course, that has the problem that different sites may use conflicting tagging systems, and may tag things at a different priority than I would.

>>899869

I've been meaning to find a Pixiv scraper. On sites like Gelbooru I use a short Python script I wrote, but it doesn't work on Pixiv because of the account requirement. The extension I previously used to save that retarded Ugoira format stopped working recently too.

Does it only scrape by tags or artists, or can I give it something like a text file with a few hundred select post IDs or URLs?

>>899846

Different anon, I've found Borg Backup to be nice. Simple CLI interface with a good number of features.

Gallery-dl is useful if you want to download whole image gallery.

I mostly use it to download art from artist's twitter.

https://pypi.org/project/gallery-dl/

>>900200

Here is a list of external downloaders that could be useful

https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl (Python, Art Gallery and Booru)

https://github.com/Bionus/imgbrd-grabber (C++, Booru)

https://github.com/Xonshiz/comic-dl (Python, Comic/Manga)

https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare (Python, Novel + FanFic)

https://github.com/kanasimi/work_crawler (JS, Comic/Manga + Novel)

https://github.com/riderkick/FMD (JS, Comic/Manga)

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl (Python, Videos) (yes I know

Hydrus is good but I prefer Chan Thread Watcher to download images from threads.

You guys do know about HakuNeko S, right?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/hakuneko/

Bar none, this is the best free Manga downloader/manager for PC. There's more than the supported list as far as sources go, I use it mostly with Mangadex.

You have the option of downloading it as an image folder, CBZ, or ePub.

You can import bookmarks from FMD.

I usually use it in conjunction with the Kindle Comic Converter, but then again, I'm one of those people patient enough to try and view images on a Paperwhite.

>>900995

Oh, forgot to mention, if you're an idiot, it also has support for Crunchyroll Premium.

The question you just asked has been the biggest point of contention about Hydrus. Hydrus has a public tag repository, ipfs integration, remote server, and a ton of other stuff bundled in it. Personally I don't think Hydrus is sustainable because it suffers from feature creep, coupled with an almost total lack of documentation. If all you want are a few tags with your files and to do it the Unix™ Way™™™, xattrs is probably better. If you want to experiment with new software check out Hydrus. Also, you picked the wrong BSD, they took the CoCk long before anyone else.

>>901099

Fuck Unix, no really.

KDE2 hasn't been given a new stable release since 2001. If you have problems with it, you can get you answer from the GPL, meaning that you can try to add what you would want patched on your own.

Since this thread is about anime software, I assume that you want a file tagging system for either comics or some other media.

For comics and books -> calibre-ebook.com

I can highly recommend it. I've been using it for years. It really stands up.

For other stuff movies and the like -> kodi.tv

It works very good with Movie and TV in terms of metadata and organization. Again, I use it myself. Kodi is very customizable; for anime specific look at kodi.wiki/view/Anime

Both of these suggestions work great on anime and more than just anime.

>Waifu2x

Best upscaler and denoiser for animu pics. Not suited for realistic looking things because it's denoiser also flattens small details

You can do everything in GIMP you can do in Photoshop. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box. Also GIMP is a true raster program so every filter and change is final but that isn't a problem at all because you can just duplicate layers as long as you have enough memory or undo and adjust the selection.

>ffmpeg

While we're at it i'd also like to mention Avidemux which let's you cut videos without reencoding or further loss.

>>906628

>>906784

I personally find gimp much easier to use and more intuitive.

>Avidemux which let's you cut videos without reencoding or further loss.

There's also https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut if all you need to do is cut videos.

>>906784

>you can do everything with GIMP

Drawing is quite a problem in GIMP, but for that purpose you can use Krita.

>>906923

>Thanks, I got cancer now.

I hate electron too, but it's much better than using ffmpeg (which is already shit) in terminal. It's far less bloated if all you need is simple cuts.

>>899869

Does it retain the original modification date? I hate download managers that can't do this.

>>907067

Less bloated than kdenlive/avidemux, yes.

>>899851

>Searching for new ones gives more pleasure.

Gee, I wonder why that would be.

>>899819

I generally delete anime after I'm finished, unless it's worth keeping, like LotGH or something. Stuff like Moetan goes into the recycle bin after I'm done.

>>907299

> Gee, I wonder why that would be.

why?

I have been working on some golang program to manage directories to find duplicated files. Have also been working on reading bencoded data from .torrent files to provide metrics off how much a given directory is seeding. Anyone see worth in something like this?

>Potplayer

I use potplayer to watch videos solely because it auto-grabs all files with related titles and adds them to the playlist. It also accepts youtube playlists as URLs so you can binge a bunch of learning videos. It's just more convenient and less clunky than the alternatives but I can't seem to remember how to retain window size between files so I can have something playing in the corner while I'm doing other things, I just need a second monitor at this point.
