Danbooru-based imageboard desktop client
Hey guys, I've been working on this for a while and I think it's worthy enough to post here.

The first time I used a Danbooru-based imageboard (which was Konachan!) I instantly loved it. One thing I didn't love was browsing through pages for hours downloading images one-by-one.

That was when I had the idea to create a program that could do this for me. And so, after much planning and preparation this program was created.

Some of the features:

  • search Konachan, Danbooru, Moe Imouto, Gelbooru, Sankaku Channel, Idol Complex, Nekobooru and Akyu Genso simultaneously
  • optionally filters safe, questionable and explicit content
  • downloading posts with notes to a local library for future viewing
  • allows batch downloading of several posts using a queue
  • includes a menu containing lots of commonly used tags
  • allows searching of 1,000 posts at one time for each imageboard
  • view your downloaded posts in a folder view and a thumbnail view
  • posts are downloaded with tags making it easy to maintain your library
It was written in Lua and compiled with the AutoPlay Media Studio IDE (free version at autoplay.org if you want to look at the source)

You can find the latest compiled binaries here: https://github.com/IllusionProgramming/danbooru-desktop/zipball/binary

All the latest updates will always be visible at: http://shadiku.com/updates/

(Unfortunately no Mac or Linux support at the time of writing.)

If you've got any suggestions or bug reports, contact me at http://shadiku.com/contact/

Have fun!
Many of your features you mentioned could be on forum #2033 since you gave out many nice ideas that might help the site. I even think many mods, admins and other people would be intrest in it.
Looks interesting, can you set it to say tell you each a rated:e loli is uploaded? (no not for my fetish -_-)
Really Cuda? Not For the fetish?
It's true, ZIIIM. New policy in effect regarding loli:e posts: Delete on sight.
Well fine, I may save a few, but the censor is coming off, so XXX loli is delete on sight.
I'm getting an error when it tries to use konachan API. error message

That is a problem parsing the servers response which should only be a temporary error.

Nethertheless, I'll commit a change tonight that will allow you to copy the JSON return to the clipboard so fixing the error is made easier for me.

Thanks!

Another thing, though I don't know if its the program or my crap internet.

When I search and get a large amount of pics eg And I select them all to download, it will go for a while, then stop, as in the pic size goes to 0 and the download size goes to 0, but it says its still downloading.

Sort of a known issue, the download library I use is quite erratic at times.

Are pictures still actually downloaded or does it just say it's downloading and not do anything?
Says its downloading but its not doing anything.
Updated to fix downloading and query issue with Moe Imouto.
on pages/limit i left both at 1,000 and manage to download 1,500 images.

when i type in tags or pools it doesn't do anything.
does anyone have a guide for this or could write down on this forum how i could get the most out of this client?

All i know how to do is leave the tag section blank while selecting all image boards to download random pictures.
