2 new useful Node modules for downloading/cleaning up files
7 years ago
Foreword: for those who don't have Node or know what it is. Get it here: https://nodejs.org
It will run JavaScript completely independent of a web browser, plus it has a lot of features you couldn't normally get in a userscript, like file I/O. The scope of Node is kinda beyond the point of this journal, so I advise you look into a quick tutorial on how to use Node so you can set up some fantastic stuff. If you're not the kind to like doing a little bit of technical work, this probably isn't for you. But I guarantee it will make your life so much easier in the end.
Alright, so I have released some new Node modules/applications that will come in handy to some of you.
The first is my e621 bulk-file downloader, which lets you download stuff from e621 directly to a folder on your computer, completely AFK. You can set the input tags to whatever you like, and every single post it finds will be downloaded. But wait, don't like something? Don't fret, you can add a blacklist too. In fact, just import your e621 blacklist from your Settings page into the file called blacklist.txt.
The second is the duplicate image remover, which after you have downloaded a lot of things, you may want to run in the background to get rid of any duplicates. It can detect edits of images, and you can set the tolerance in case some edits are too "poor"; it'll keep the one with the best image resolution, and try to find the best name for it.
