Useful tools thread

Tampermonkey

You need this chrome extension to install userscripts.

Linkify++
http://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/4255-linkify-plus-plus
This userscript lets you click on source links, or any link that isn't directly clickable.

Booru mass uploader
http://github.com/Seedmanc/Booru-mass-uploader
This userscript lets you upload many images in bulk. Because mspabooru isn't supported by default, you can add it by following the pattern of the existing @include lines. Just remember to tag and source them all later!

Image Max URL
http://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl
This userscript will automatically resize images to the largest available size. It also has a gallery downloading option with Shift+D, in case you don't want to use gallery-dl for that.

gallery-dl
http://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl
A program that lets you easily download artwork. When downloading from Tumblr, it can filter for certain tags.

i make heavy use of the saucenao extension for sourcing art.

how are you supposed to use it? to rule out the obvious: i do have python and pip installed. it seems you're supposed to use the command prompt (though it doesn't say that anywhere), so i tried "gallery-dl https://www.tumblr.com/perpetuallymoody/tagged/homestuck%20fanart" and got a bunch of errors:

If you go to http://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/releases you can download the latest gallery-dl.exe. Then,
-Press shift + right click in that directory to open PowerShell
-Enter ./gallery-dl.exe <the URl you want to download from>
The readme has more details, including about inputting your login information if necessary. Hope this helps!

oh yeah that finally did the trick. i tried running the standalone exe but not using powershell, so it just closed instantly and i could barely find any help in the documentation.

it even downloads images in what i assume to be the best resolution available, which is great because i was actually somewhat worried it wouldn't. thanks!

If you want some websites for reverse image searching for sources, here's some I use:

http://www.reverseimagesearch.com
http://tineye.com
http://infringement.report/api/raider-reverse-image-search/

Last one is sorta lame though, used to be good but now it's iffy if it wants to do anything.

since the admins refused to fix the note functionality after making me wait over three months for a response, i do have a (admittedly shitty) workaround. i used the stylus extension

http://chromewebstore.google.com...pkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne

http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/styl-us/

to import custom CSS rules, which i shamelessly stole from another booru which has notes that work. go figure.

you would have to import this sheet on the entire mspabooru.com domain:

div#post-view div#note-container {
position: relative;
left:20%;
}

div#post-view div.note-box {
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid black;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
cursor: move;
background: #FFE;
overflow: auto;
opacity:0.5;

/* for IE */
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
/* for Mozilla */
-moz-opacity:0.5;
}

div#post-view div.note-corner {
background: black;
width: 7px;
height: 7px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
cursor: se-resize;
}

div#post-view div.note-body {
background: #FFE;
border: 1px solid black;
display: none;
width: 140px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
padding: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
overflow: auto;
}
