Booru Shinshi

ボール紳士：ボール (Booru) サイト間をエレガントに渡り歩く。

This WebExtension improve your experience of browsing Booru (ボール, “board” in Japanese) sites by providing the following features:

1. One-click to download image with formalized, unified, and comprehensible filename from a Booru site.
2. Auto classfication: auto decide which folder to save, by customized tag rules.
3. One-click to search current keyword across different Booru sites.
4. A customized tags blocklist which applys across all booru sites.
5. (Optional) All image post to images will be opened with new tab (this is very usable if you are using a touchscreen device. e.g. Microsoft Surface).
6. Extra large navigation buttons specially designed for touchscreen.

Permission

For paranoid users such as me, these are all used permissions with its usages:

• downloads:
  • Download image files.
• tabs:
  • Detect if currently is in supported site, to decide to show/hide pageAction. (It’s impossible to achive this via only manifest.json on Firefox for Android)
• storage:
  • For saving user preferences in your Mozilla account (storage.sync is deprecated since BooruShinshi 0.12.0 due to the storage quotas limitation. Now relies on storage.local instead.)
• unlimitedStorage:
  • Increase the size quotas of =storage.local=.
• konachan.net, …
  • Insert script & CSS to grab tags, grab image’s link, insert HTML & CSS to show dowbload buttons.

TODOs

  • [ ] Show download button permantally / via pageAction?
  • [X] Customizable filename formatter: site | id | artist | copyright | character | general
