Sources and notes

last updated

Besides its tags, an image can remember where it came from and what you know about it. All of it is on the image’s page.

Sources#

A source is a link to where the image lives online: a booru post, an artist’s page. An image can have several. monloader adds them when it downloads or looks an image up, and [+ add] records one by hand. [set primary] picks the one listed first.

Open a source and it shows what the booru post said about the image: the artist’s original upload it points to (often a pixiv or twitter link), the artist’s own title and description, and a translation when the booru has one. You can edit these by hand too.

Sources are also what lookups refresh, and what an upgrade to a bigger file comes from.

Personal note#

A free-text note on the image, just for you (e n to edit it).

Annotations#

Annotations are boxes drawn on the image with some text, the way boorus mark up translated speech bubbles. A booru lookup brings in the post’s annotations, and you can draw your own on the image’s page. They show when you hover over the image; hovering one in the list highlights its box, and [hide annotations] hides them all.

Formatting#

Notes, annotations, tag notes and commentary understand a little markup:

[b]bold[/b]  [i]italic[/i]  [u]underline[/u]  [s]struck[/s]
[code]code[/code]  [tn]translator note[/tn]

[tag]blue_eyes[/tag]              a search for that tag
[tag=blue_eyes]Blue eyes[/tag]    the same, with your own wording
[url=https://example.com]link[/url]
