PixivUtil2 VS hydrus

I had the same problem, worked using cookies to log in https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2/wiki

Pixiv-Util2

you can use this useful software

That said, it's worth noting that there's already some tools available that can download Pixiv images in bulk. I personally use PixivUtil2 to do it, and I know gallery-dl supports it as well. Both take Pixiv's rate limits into account when downloading images so you should have no problems with them at all.

This post points to Nandaka, which I've used in the past. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/kmn7vj/good_downloader_for_pixiv_accounts. https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2

https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2 I think most of you know this link and have probably seen this question multiple times. But the replies on the posts are not available currently when I checked. So, please can anyone tell me how to set this up. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded all of them via this program. Nandaka (the pixiv guy) also has nijie downloader if you want it but I've never gotten it to work.

just use PixivUtil2 instead. The configuration might be a pain in the arse (especially to a n00bie) but if you persevere you'll save a lot of time. I'm a heavy user so usually, I'll just run a few instances of it over the night and when it's done it's done. I do not see a need to struggle with the web app.

Just download and sort it out later. Title and extension are good enough for me - the best 'metadata' / tag generator is my mind + eyes + ears, which are put to work using Hydrus Network.

For more fine-grained tagging you can use Hydrus https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus and connect it to FlipFlip.

I can't train LoRAs on my AMD hardware but if I could I would be using the grabber I mentioned above along with Hydrus for database management and maybe IrfanView for batch resizing. Your program handles all of it on its own in a very user friendly manner so congratz for that! Bookmarking it for when I can use it.

Have you looked at hydrus, https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus?

that looks like a mac ver. of hydrus which is great for sorting & tagging images. I've literally never even thought of it in terms of other media...

Hydrus is a good alternative.

This brings us to Hydrus. My choice of software for tagging. Hydrus is a image database tool for weebs whose image libraries are too large to be practically brosed with windows folder system. It has may features but we are only interested in its tagging system.

I meant something like this.
