As I understand, this is not permitted for performance reasons.

A "delete all images" button when re-ordering would be very useful. For example when you've made changes to all images (re-sizing for example) and you want to replace them by remove all images and upload new ones. Same when you got a big gallery of say 1000 images and the order is totally fucked up, it's better to delete all and then rename locally and re-upload. At the moment you have to click every single image in the re-order section to delete them.

I'd still like to see Ten explain that properly, together with the "hasing b&w images is too resource intensive". At the very least, could some advanced search be implemented as a hath perk to make life easier for active high-volume uploaders and vigilantes?

a temporary work around is to hold the mouse over the pull down menu (with number) of the first image, then IIRC keyboard up and enter trigger deletion and automatic movement to the next one, so it's just hitting up and enter for all images in the set.

How do you presume getting a "proper" explanation to a complex caching search engine that has 2k+ lines of code for the lookup mechanism alone?

Long story short, the final size of a cached search result involving a has-keyword is limited by the number of hits for that keyword. The final size of a cached search result involving only a not-keyword wouldn't be limited by anything outside of the total number of galleries, and could therefore easily be more than an order of magnitude larger than the largest normal result set - for EVERY SINGLE cached search result involving nothing but a not-keyword.

And as for black and white images, "hashing" them isn't too resource intensive, but it would be utterly pointless as there is no image similarity algorithm fast and sensitive enough to have half a chance in hell of working. (And if you happen to be sitting on a magical algorithm that is capable of searching through 22,830,990 unique images, which in the case of blacks and whites have few definable features, in a fraction of a second with few or no false positives, then please, send it my way.)

Well thanks for answering my question in such a timely fashion. I think I (sort of) understand now.

When is resizing useful in production of valid galleries, exactly? In all cases I can think of, it changes the original image, thus it adds something that should be expunged when the original image gallery is uploaded. People get banned for uploading upscale galleries here...

How about sorting it first, and uploading later? Why wasn't it done in the first place?

That's the thing. Say you upload an upscale by mistake and then want to correct it by uploading the original size, you'd then have to delete the whole gallery and make a new one and everyone who has made the old gallery a favorite will lose it and I don't know how it all works, but I'm also guessing you'd get points, GPs, whatever it is people care about, for both galleries. It's much more fair and good for the users if you replace the old gallery with the new images. Anyways, the re-sizing was just an example, I've found many times that a button to delete all images when reordering would be very useful.

Well mostly it has to do with how your OS sorts images vs how e-hentai sorts images, for instance a common mistake is that you see the images in order of 1, 2, 3... 9, 10, 11 and you think you're good to go by putting them into a zipfile. Well, that's no good because the order will be 1, 10, 11, 2, 3, 4 and so on. It's the same with certain kanji characters which will be ignored by e-hentai and replaced with "" (no character) at all. So say you got some files called (% = kanji character in this case) "%c01", "%c02" and so on and then a bunch of other images called "a01", "a02" and so on. In most OSes, it will sort by the kanji letters first but when you upload it here the order will be "a01", "a02", "c01" etc. There are a lot of these small bugs. There's an even more annoying one that I haven't been able to figure out and that's when you upload title images from getchu.com (the most mainstream DLsite for Eroge games) which always starts with "c" and then a bunch of numbers, for instance c98743534.jpg, but for some reason this image will always be moved to last in order when you upload a bunch of images, which is annoying since it's always the one you want first in order, so you gotta either upload it first seperatly or simply rename it.

Just sayin', it ain't all that clean.

run -> gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer, open "Turn off retarded numerical sorting in Windows Explorer", hit Enable.

Nifty

Whoa, there are 23 million unique images?

O_o

I'm betting 5%+ are slightly differently hashed dupes like upscales or watermarks.

If you have installed the GreaseMonkey addon, then you might be interested by [hfan.byethost16.com] this script which allows you to quickly select a range of pictures to move or delete (and also implements a retarded numerical natural order sorting algorithm). It won't work on browsers that only implement partial GM scripts support (i.e., Chrome), because the script needs to use the unsafeWindow in order to alter and interact with the original page JS.

EDIT
Oh, and I do have a feature request: please, prevent the forum message archiver from sending 2 different Content-Type in the header of the e-mails it sends. My client displays the whole e-mail body as full text instead of as a multipart content (with attachments) because of that.

Can we have a "minimum number of pictures in gallery" option when searching? A maximum would be nice too.

I just saw the tweet where the number to hide a gallery comment was raised from -100 to -20. That should probably be lower back a bit. As it is now I can effectively hide anything below 35 by myself. For an unvoted comment, there's only two or three people whose comments I could not hide.

I don't like the fact that I could so easily hide comments just because I don't agree with what they said. It's like disagreeing means that their comment is not valid.

Yeh.

We have a PM archiver? Cool. I see the offending code, shouldn't be too hard to fix when I have a minute.

Hm. Comment downvotes are supposed to be half power, but it seems that they aren't. Gonna fix that as well.

I hope you just have 30 second to do it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

From rename section:
Can we have something to reduce an overpowered vote at renaming the galleries? Seldom, I found it irritating to see a new rename that can't overlap the previous one. You can make it limited to the responsible people from renaming thread.

And, can we get mark or something like vote starter ID to show which one is the new one and which one the old options. It's really confusing when there is 2 or more options that not hit the 100 and the poster didn't tell us which one that need to be voted.

I hope you can do it in a minute. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I would love the ability to filter by number of favorites. Or atleast see galleries that have the most favorites this week, today, all time, etc etc.

The limit of 250 PM would be too low if it wasn't possible to archive old messages (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks for the fix-to-be.

Grouping galleries that belong to the same series ("Nana to Kaoru Arashi", etc) would certainly reduce the amount of verbosity in searches.

Check it now. It had some other issues as well, which would have prevented it from doing a HTML content-type for multiparts.
