It’s been about 4 years since I posted a new update announcement, so maybe it’s time for that. By the way, it’s HDoujin Downloader’s 10-year anniversary tomorrow– Thank you to everyone who’s stuck around for the past decade!
You can see the list of changes for this release on the GitHub Releases page, but there are two new things in particular I’d like to talk about.
DPI awareness is now enabled by default
HDoujin Downloader will no longer look blurry on high-DPI displays. I’ve updated most of the UI for consistency and to make it look better when scaled up, but there are almost definitely some visual issues lingering here and there. If you’re using a high-DPI display and notice any overt ugliness, let me know.
DPI awareness can also be disabled under Tools > General settings > Advanced settings by toggling the “Interface.DpiAware” setting. This setting was disabled by default in previous versions, so you may need to enable it manually to see any difference.
Built-in web browser
I’ve started working on a built-in web browser, which can be opened by going to Tools > Web Browser. It’s very basic right now, but the key point is that it shares cookies with HDoujin Downloader.
If you download from websites with Cloudflare enabled, you probably noticed that the FlareSolverr plugin hasn’t been working right lately. The FlareSolverr team is experimenting with a couple of different fixes, and you can download them for yourself and try them out if you’d like.
Alternatively, you can use the built-in web browser to open the website, wait for Cloudflare to do its thing, and then continue downloading. This eliminates a lot of the hassle with copying cookies manually from your own web browser, and later on I plan to automate this process entirely.
The browser also makes it possible to log in to websites with captchas on their login forms, or log in to websites that don’t have automated login support yet. This won’t work for everything, so let me know if you have any issues.
That’s all for now! Please let me know in the comments what you’d like me to prioritize for the next update.
Thanks for reading!
Thanks for the work!
good
Yay!
ngl add a File named Urllist or something in that way you can save muli URLs good exampe is Cyberdrop_DL
Save multiple URLs? If you use File > Open and File > Export you can load/export the URLs in your download queue. There’s also Manga > Add from list, where you can import any file and it’ll attempt to extract URLs from it.
I’m not familiar with Cyberdrop_DL, so if you let me know more about what you want to achieve I’ll see what I can do.
