[X] My Assistant

I got two feature suggestions:
1) add thumbnail view in favorites. That really bothers me that it's not there.

2) add a feature so that you can hide duplicate galleries. Basically you could assign each doujins a unique number, and then if two different versions of the doujins gets uploaded they could be assigned the same value (users could be in charge of coupling the same doujin to the same number). It would not break backwards compatibility either since all new uploaded (as well as old uploads) could get an unique number, and then when someone flags a gallery as a dupe it would simply get the same value as another gallery. If you turn "don't show duplicates" on it would only display galleries with unique values.


Also, I'd like a tag for "airheads". Like no-sexual experience at all, and just now discovering lewd stuff like masturbation/sex. Gelbooru has an "exploration" tag that's kind of like that. It would mostly be applied to galleries in the fjord though.

hide duplicates

Isn't that just the same as expunging the duplicates? (which do happen now)

No I mean there would be a button to hide the less popular versions of galleries which contains the same images.
What I mean is for example if I look up To Love Ru doujins I see the same manga over and over again, but one is in English, one is censored, one is uncensored and so on. My suggestion is a way to make it so that only 1 of them would be shown, instead of all 3.

For example, if you search for wata 120 you will get 5 Sword Art Online doujins which are of the same comic, the only difference beting that some are translated in different languages, some are uncensored, some have alternative translations and so on.
Basically, I would only see one of these doujins with the "hide duplicates" filter on:

https://e-hentai.org/g/596443/bf5e73ffb9/

^ You can already disable languages you don't want to see, and tag flagging can hide galleries as well.

Yes but I still sometimes gets ~5 versions of the same doujins because there are several different translations, and censored/uncensored versions and so on. It would be nice to push a button and only get unique doujins displayed. Might be too much work though. Not only to implement but also to tag all the galleries for dups (since it can't be done automatically)

There is a problem with gallery searching that has been bothering me for a while. Below are two searches (tag search only):

"parody:final fantasy iv"
93 results

"parody:final fantasy v"
1197 results

Searching for "final fantasy v" yields far more results, because the search also accepts "final fantasy vi", "final fantasy vii" and "final fantasy viii". It is, in fact, impossible to search exclusively for the tag "final fantasy v".

Something should be done about this. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Wow, I never searched for the final fantasy tags but now trying to test your example asd65 I found something interesting:

Searching for "parody:final fantasy iv" gives me an error:

The keyword iv is too short, and was therefore skipped. Use an exact search or combine it with other words by using quotes.

But searching for "parody:final fantasy iv," (note the comma) works fine.

My guess is that in the first case the parser finds the tag "parody:final fantasy" and then interprets "iv" as another search parameter. In the second case it do find the entire tag.

On another tag the search: "parody:final fantasy v," (with the comma) returns an error on "v". But "parody:final fantasy v" (without comma) works as described by asd65.



Could it be that for similar tags ("final fantasy", "final fantasy iv", "final fantasy v", "final fantasy vi", etc) the order in which the tags are indexed makes a difference? i.e. because the parser/matcher goes for the first match and not for the greedest match. It's just a random guess 10b, I may be completelly and utterly wrong.

You can search like this:
https://e-hentai.org/tag/parody:final+fantasy+iv
https://e-hentai.org/tag/parody:final+fantasy+v

You can search like this:
https://e-hentai.org/tag/parody:final+fantasy+iv
https://e-hentai.org/tag/parody:final+fantasy+v

I know, but you don't have as many options, e.g. searching low-power tags which is a necessity.

I think it would be cool if there were more sorting options in the "Maintain Galleries" page.

Something like, say... "Sort by popularity" (Views, comments, etc.), "sort by size", and other such things.

It's not particularly useful, but I think people who have a lot of galleries would like to be able to check up on them every so often just to see which ones are the most successful, have the most downloads/page views, etc.

I get annoyed by the fact that favorite'd galleries stars get hidden when their galleries are updated so i can't easily keep up with ongoing chapters in a tank.

Lobbying once again to have the default forum theme enabled
I know it's there somewhere, I can access it if I change my user agent to Googlebot's! (which also has the unfortunate side effect of preventing me from posting)

Look at it, so blue and beautiful and gorgeous and ravishing
/firstworldproblems

It would be neat if you could "favorite" artists and other tags and have a special page where only galleries with those tags would be shown.

Not exactly a new feature... but can we have More Favorites V+ (VI, VII, VIII) perks? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I know that sorting anything other than descending date won't be added (from the 'To Be Added' part of the wiki, cant post url) , but is it possible to add a feature that filters out by 'most favourited' and 'most voted on' but still keep it in descending date order? Though not always true, i think that galleries that many people have favourited or voted on tend to at least be of higher quality. This would be great in finding quality stuff from popular tags that you might have missed before because it was uploaded a while ago.

For example take the 'futanari' tag. As of the time of this post, (in g.e-hentai) a default search leads to 19,382 results. Filtered to 5 stars minimum is 2,819 and filtered to 4 stars is 14,922. Makes it very hard to find stuff that isn't recent other than just going through page by page or just picking random pages. Just from my own observation, good quality stuff still ranges between 4-5 stars (i.e. not just 5 stars minimum) but any good stuff seems to be popular and is voted on and favourited a lot.

So i think having something like 'minimum 4 stars checked, mostfav:>100' which then expunges anything less than that from the results would be great in finding good, new old stuff. Especially for popular or content heavy tags or titles.

For what it's worth, I still really hate what torrenting has become nowadays.

I know the hypothetical "oh, what if someone posts the full game instead of just the gallery as a torrent??"

Unless it's the gallery owner in the first place, no, that won't happen.

And even if it does, the number of times people basically "steal" torrents far outweighs that.

I dunno, I just really think it's not fair. Uploading a torrent to a gallery that still has an extremely functional torrent? Come on.

I'm aware that I've done this too. But I'm not the first to do it, not even close. And if it were up to me it wouldn't even be possible to do it.

I really think there should be some regulations on torrenting. If a gallery has been updated at all after a torrent was uploaded to it, it is possible to upload another one to "replace" it. If a gallery hasn't been updated, and the torrent has had less than 10 seeds for X amount of time, you can upload another one to replace it.

I don't know how hard it would be to implement that, but come on. Galleries are expunged for being duplicates, but the same can't be done with torrents? There should be some rules regarding that, it's ridiculous.

I'm not really in the torrent business myself, but I think you could solve most of the problems above by having the gallery generate the torrent for you

- User A creates gallery
- User B comes along and notices gallery has no torrent
- User B downloads gallery archive through Doggie Bag and requests a new torrent
- Gallery generates a new torrent using the file generated by the archive
- User B starts the torrent, points it to the file he downloaded previously and starts seeding immediately
- User C comes along wanting to "steal" B's torrent
- User C requests a new torrent but the gallery returns user B's torrent, thus foiling C's dastardly plot (assuming the gallery hasn't been modified in the meantime, in which case a new torrent can be returned)

I would really like to see an overhaul of the tagging system. As it currently stands, the system seems to be designed to reward those who tag regularly, rather than to make browsing convenient for the average user or visitor. Is not the purpose of tags to make finding content more easy for people? Why then is the prioritization among tags so inconsistent and frankly, backwards?

If a potentially shocking bit of content, such as guro or scat, is present, but only on a single page or panel, then it receives votes with gusto. It's a warning to those who don't favor such things to be warned away. Yet if someone's favorite fetish that's less controversial is also present, yet not a dominant part of the gallery, such as paizuri, it is too often down voted into oblivion; leaving no one (whether they're a fan of paizuri or not) aware of its presence in the gallery, unless the user uses advanced settings to view galleries with downvoted tags!

The double standard here is absurd and unnecessarily complicated! In nearly every other hentai site, a gallery is tagged according to its content, percentages of involvement aside. Why then must e-hentai be so unfriendly towards its users?

Personally, I search first for a group/artist or a parody/character first. Once I've done so, I'm only interested in what the subjects of the gallery are DOING. Tags like the ubiquitous "big breasts" are unhelpful and pointless, given that at least half of all galleries on e-hentai have that same tag! It'd be like tagging galleries with "sex," something I'm sure the overwhelming majority of the galleries here have! I would much rather know if a single page contains a footjob, than if the entire gallery features a girl with big breasts!

Also, the ability for a single user to have their vote count for dozens or even hundreds of times more than their fellow users based on their "contributions" is nearly unique among hentai sites: and for good reason, I think. Having some get more votes than others creates far more opportunities for abuse, I believe, than it does to prevent abuse.

While I may be alone in some of the opinions I express here, I have noticed an increasing dissatisfaction among users over tags being downvoted because of a "minimal presence" in a gallery. I think those "in charge" need to examine whether their standards are worth maintaining if the people using e-hentai find them detrimental to their browsing experience.

Tags like the ubiquitous "big breasts" are unhelpful and pointless, given that at least half of all galleries on e-hentai have that same tag!

Please take a good hard look at what you just wrote and I think you'll see why it is that we don't tag like the Booru sites.

Wanna try something fun? Open up a text document and write down every tag (including artists, parodies, and characters) that you can for this gallery:

I doubt he's talking about image sets with hundreds of images; he's most likely referring to manga/doujinshi/artistCG/GameCG. Essentially, everything but the "imageset" category.

He already said he sorted it by artist or parody first. Therefore, that imageset is hardly what he's looking for.
