Danbooru changelog discussion thread

Right now, the My Uploads page is just a raw list of every upload attempt. This includes things like duplicates and failed uploads. In the future, there will probably be some better separation between "every single thing I've ever tried to upload" and "uploads I actually want to keep".

Thanks, can't wait for it, also thanks for fixing the bug.

To check if something is uploaded or not, it's highly, highly recommended that you use these userscripts...

I do use these scripts, I've been browsing Artstation, Weibo and Lofter and finding Twitter/Pixiv accounts for existing artists these days, so reverse searches like iqdb and saucenao helped more. I think the "saving uploads" is a good improvement and I'll to change my behavior with the bookmarklet given the changes.

Not really a fan of the new upload page. The amount of time waiting for the link or image to be checked and processed by the website before going into the tagging form could have been used to actually tag the image. This can take longer for slower websites or big images.

Yeah, the wait time is pretty bad, but I've come up with a few different behaviors which make the delay not so irksome.

I've been uploading several uploads at a time, so that by the time I get back to the first upload, it's already done processing. Then after that upload gets submitted, all of the other uploads are ready to go as well.

If you're just browsing and want to do a single upload, then just submit the upload and go back to browsing, then come back to the upload later after it is ready to go.

I think I would like the option to go back to the old upload page. I don't care about being sniped or worry too much accidentally uploading an image that is already uploaded. I also would like to note that the new upload page also messes with my workflow for parenting posts as I can only copy and paste one thing at a time without an extension and the new upload page only has a field where I can paste an image link and not a field for the parent post ID.

Also just use parent:idhere/child:idhere as a tag.

I don't know if it's intentional or just browser behavior, but after I'm done with one upload, I always find it inconvenient not to return to the initial upload page and instead go back to a page and click "Upload" or "New Upload" to get back it. Is there something that could be done to return to the initial upload page?

Anyone else experiencing inconsistencies with uploading videos from anything other than Twitter and Pixiv? I've been trying to upload an artist's works from redgifs (I click Open Video in New Tab and activate the bookmarklet) and even downloaded files to my computer for a traditional drag-and-drop upload, both of which I've done successfully in the past with the older Upload page, but I keep encountering "error - Not an image or video." The files are well within the size and video length limit. However I've noticed I'm able to successfully reach the tagging page with different redgif videos and works I've downloaded to my computer by the same creator/artist.

I've not encountered any issue uploading works from the artist's Twitter posts. The only reason I'm trying to use the redgifs versions is because they are much higher quality, and I'd like to be able to upload the highest resolution possible.

This should be fixed now, if I understand you correctly.

The error message is a little misleading here. The problem is the video is in a format not currently supported by Danbooru.

Not a big fan of this change, since my workflow was to prep images and tag them well in advance of when I wanted to upload, anywhere from an hour or two to half-a-day. This seems ripe for ne'er-do-wells to camp the All Uploads page and mintag images like they used to do more commonly in the past. Now I'll need to hold all my posts in a text file and load everything all at once when I'm ready to upload.

Is there an advantage over just uploading them whenever you’re done with the tags? This doesn’t seem very practical to me.

I expressed the same concern to evazion and he already has an idea how to prevent that, which hopefully will be implemented at some point.

It comes down to personal preference. I tend to spend a lot of time working with scans and niche image sources, both of which were and are ripe for being sniped if you don't upload what you want to upload all at once, as interested parties backtrack from your source.

HTTP Basic Authentication for API broke for me 1-2 days ago.

This is how it used to work:

curl "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts.json?page=0&limit=200" --header "Authorization: Basic 0JDQv9C10LvRjNGB0LjQvdC+0LLRi9C5X9Cn0YPQstCw0Lo6RG1..."

But now it returns:

{"success":false,"error":"SessionLoader::AuthenticationFailure","message":"Invalid API key","backtrace":["app/logical/session_loader.rb:132:in `authenticate_api_key'","app/logical/session_loader.rb:121:in `authenticate_basic_auth'","app/logical/session_loader.rb:108:in `load_session_for_api'","app/logical/session_loader.rb:72:in `load'","app/controllers/application_controller.rb:167:in `set_current_user'"]}

Authentication through the query string still works:

curl "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts.json?page=0&limit=200&login=%D0%90%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%A7%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BA&api_key=Dm..." 

Anyone know what the z=1 / 2 / 5 is in the url's query string? Looking at the changelog thread doesn't give me an obvious answer.

It's for tracking, to see how people use tags to search IIRC

Also just use parent:idhere/child:idhere as a tag.

I can adjust and change my workflow but it's still not gonna change the time spent waiting for the image to be checked if its in the database.

I've also started experiencing this problem with artists that I've previously uploaded videos from just fine. For example: https://twitter.com/001_31_/status/1491405055563792386 won't upload and gives the "Upload failed: Not an image or video." message. Is this something that's being worked on?

Just checking: Does the Danbooru administration use the Amazon SES service (amazonses.com) to send e‑mail to members (or has it done so recently)? I haven’t found any forum threads confirming or denying this. The info might be helpful for those who wish to avoid phishing attacks.

Yes. From the header of the most recent notification email I received:

Received: from a48-23.smtp-out.amazonses.com ([54.240.48.23])

FYI, for Danbooru I’m using an email address that I’m not using anywhere else and so far I’ve never received anything suspicious on that address.

Is there a way to view only incomplete uploads in the my/all uploads pages?

Open the upload page, choose "My Uploads" in top menu.
