Danbooru Client is an application to access Danbooru-based image boards ([Wikipedia definition](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard#Danbooru-style_boards)).
|
||||
|
||||
Danbooru is a kind of image board which structures its data semantically, by having tags attached to images (along with other things, such as favorites, rating, etc.). It can be browsed normally (newest posts, etc.) or by using tags and other properties. Some boards are quite popular in the anime-viewing community. The neat thing about Danbooru (which is by itself a Ruby on Rails application) is the fact that it can provide a REST and POST API to access data. So. it’s technically possible to access such boards programmatically: the API permits not only retrieving posts, but also upload, tag, and perform other operations.
|
||||
|
||||
Danbooru Client is a GUI application for KDE, based on PyKDE4, that uses this API to access the board without a browser.

### The S.T.E.A.L. Saga
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
_The S.T.E.A.L. Saga_ is one of my pet projects since 1997. It's a series of novels (three planned) written by me and my brother Marco (who did the story planning). I started writing in Italian, but since no one cared about it on the internet, I decided to switch to English, which at least will make it understandable for more people. After a long time, I found the young but very talented artist [Too](http://toounit.deviantart.com), and he was able to provide very nice artwork to complement my own writing. Basically this project aims to create illustrated novels, a format very common in Japan but rather rare outside of that country.
|
||||
|
||||
The first two books have been already published (through a print on demand service). I have put up a [separate web page](http://www.stealsaga.net) to host all the project related news.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Python scripts
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Due to my own work, I'm writing a series of [Python](http://www.python.org) scripts to automate the annotation of genes with biological data, using publicly available resources. Once they are polished enough I plan to release them to the public under the GNU GPL, version 2.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Connect to any Danbooru board (three predefined);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Download up to 100 images with selectable tags;
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for multiple pages (kind of browsing the Danbooru board);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Download or view images with the KDE preferred image viewer;
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* View image pools (on the boards that support it);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Retrieve images depending on rating (Safe, Questionable or Explicit)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* KDE Frameworks 5.7
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Qt 5.4
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Download and installation
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Latest version: **0.3.0**
|
||||
|
||||
The source archive can be downloaded from the release page.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download](https://www.dennogumi.org/releases/)
|
||||
|
||||
For people wanting to try the latest development code, there is a [Git repository set up](https://git.dennogumi.org/KDE/danbooru-client)
|
||||
|
||||
Refer to the [README](https://git.dennogumi.org/KDE/danbooru-client/src/master/README.md) for installation instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
You can then access Danbooru Client by calling danbooru-client or using the menu entry that will be created.

|
||||
I also have written [a small script to filter desktop wallpapers](http://www.dennogumi.org/2007/01/03/checker-mark-iii/) based on their size or aspect ratio. It's mostly a toy program, but if you're curious, try it out!
