image-downloader VS fd

After many hours of pure pain, I've completely given up on finding a good downloader/ downloading website for manga. I've come up with my a solution of just downloading every image on a manga website using google's Image downloader. Not the best option cuz you download like 20+ images, but it's a decent solution to trying to find a new manga that hasn't been uploaded to a torrent website. Just put the files in a separate folder and name it chapter 1 or somthin. If you have a decent website to download manga then please tell me.

Copy Selected Links - I use this in combination with a text editor like Smultron on Mac. Cmd + f "https" and replace with "yt-dlp " and paste the full list into terminal usually does the trick when grabbing tons of links at once, which most frequently for me would be YouTube and Soundcloud links. Image Downloader - Easy and convenient, does its job 95% of the time. I should probably look into gallery-dl, but I prefer the precision in picking out ungrabbable images separately. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/image-downloader/cnpniohnfphhjihaiiggeabnkjhpaldj Mute Tab - Helpful when capturing audio and you want to do other things. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mute-tab/blljobffcekcbopmkgfhpcjmbfnelkfg Save Image As PNG - My first and still my favorite anti-webp tool. Allow Right-Click - Always comes in handy. Channel Blocker - Helps filter out annoying channels taking over YouTube search results and wasting your time. SingleFile - "Save a complete page into a single HTML file", simple as that. I used to try to capture everything as PNG, which is now my backup option if SingleFile fails, which is rare. video downloader - CocoCut - This one picks up (most) audio files far better than any other extension I've used. I use this mostly for podcasts and rarely video. yt-dlp and CocoCut is my one-two punch, and Audio Hijack is my last resort when audio just can't be downloaded directly. Firefox addons:

Do you know if any other Chrome extension can do that ? by reading the description of ImageAssistant Batch, Fatkun Batch, Image downloadere it looks like it is not the case.

you could open the html file on a browser and use an extension like this: Image Downloader to download all images within one page all at once.

extension that can dl any image on sites - https://github.com/PactInteractive/image-downloader. also i wish we had minimalistic unsplash extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unsplash-instant/pejkokffkapolfffcgbmdmhdelanoaih?hl=en

ripgrep: A super-fast file searcher. You can install it using your system's package manager (e.g., brew install ripgrep on macOS). fd: Another blazing-fast file finder. Installation instructions can be found here: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd

hyperfine is such a great tool that it's one of the first I reach for when doing any sort of benchmarking.

I encourage anyone who's tried hyperfine and enjoyed it to also look at sharkdp's other utilities, they're all amazing in their own right with fd[1] being the one that perhaps get the most daily use for me and has totally replaced my use of find(1).

You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

Many (most?) of them have been overhauled with success. For find there is fd[1]. There's batcat, exa (ls), ripgrep, fzf, atuin (history), delta (diff) and many more.

Most are both backwards compatible and fresh and friendly. Your hardwon muscle memory still of good use. But there's sane flags and defaults too. It's faster, more colorful (if you wish), better integration with another (e.g. exa/eza or aware of git modifications). And, in my case, often features I never knew I needed (atuin sync!, ripgrep using gitignore).

AFAIK there is a find replacement with sane defaults: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd , a lot of people I know love it.

However, I already have this in my muscle memory:

fd

> without zsh globs I have to remember find syntax

My "solution" to this is using https://github.com/sharkdp/fd (even when in zsh and having glob support). I'm not sure if using a tool that's not present by default would be suitable for your use cases, but if you're considering alternate shells, I suspect you might be

Nice to see other alternatives to find. I personally use fd (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) a lot, as I find the UX much better. There is one thing that I think could be better, around the difference between "wanting to list all files that follow a certain pattern" and "wanting to find one or a few specific files". Technically, those are the same, but an issue I'll often run into is wanting to search something in dotfiles (for example the Go tools), use the unrestricted mode, and it'll find the few files I'm looking for, alongside hundreds of files coming from some cache/backup directory somewhere. This happens even more with rg, as it'll look through the files contents.

I'm not sure if this is me not using the tool how I should, me not using Linux how I should, me using the wrong tool for this job, something missing from the tool or something else entirely. I wonder if other people have this similar "double usage issue", and I'm interested in ways to avoid it.
