my understanding, at least the last few times I did performance testing, any lag/jank is related to open images, url and downloader wise, it comes down to number of active downloaders
That said, I have been considering of a clean start once I go though the images and having everything there saved as a legacy go through… that will be gone though once I can do something about duplicates, which for me necessitates >>11021… but like I said, I have something around 700gb of space left and push come to shove I can make more space by removing the fuck huge files.
as for the program not logging me in, it does, the 15 image is the click-through, the 68 image is the logged in, though it was still doing a guest log in, so not i'm logged in for 30 days at a time which is good, changing it from click through script to login though seems to have make the program wait longer though.

If you go the youtube-dl route, I have a request.
Can you have an option in the downloader for it to NOT use the hydrus archive for saving the file and instead a different directory?
While hydrus is great, its great for stand alone images, and would be fairly shit if I stored video in current hydrus.
Its partly the reason I wouldn't use current hydrus for manga, while I would love the program to work with manga, I would have to rely on the program to work going forward, which I can't do. You as the dev put 334 updates and have been doing it near weekly, I trust that as long as you are alive you will keep supporting the program and make sure it works. but lets take my manga folder into consideration, I have around 2.5tb of manga and h-manga combined, possibly a bit more if I looked on more hdds, if I put these into hydrus, it would hash them, and make them non user sortable. if I just put images in, It would fuck 170 images+ from ever being read in sequence again, and lets put it this way, when it comes to me downloading manga, I would rather re download a manga then take the time to rename it to fit a convention, there is no way in hell I could do that for hashes.
for single images? before I had hydrus, I had around 120-200gb of images, and another 500-1tb of gallery images that were never going to be sorted anyway, so I was no loss to me to hash them, if anything I lost may 30000 images out of my real/drawing/real porn/drawing porn sorting method but I believe enough in hydrus that it was no problem for me even if it failed horribly.
For this reason, I wouldn't want to have youtube-dl save to the gallery, but on the same note, I would love a better ui for youtube dl then the crap that is currently out where the person behind it I think has fucked off and told anyone with issues that he doesn't see the issues as issues so pound sand.
If you end up making a youtube-dl ui option, It would need a few things to it
1) video quality/format choice with a 'choose highest quality' option
2) audio quality/format choice with a 'choose highest quality' option
3) an audio/video only mode
4) at least for me to use it, an out of archive save location that saves based off of videos title
In all honesty thinking of the manga portion again, If you ever do that, I highly suggest putting all the functionality of having a hydrus managed folder layout that is also user readable into the main client but having it walled off, that way a branched version takes no real work to manage as you are already doing everything with the main version anyway.
Hell, You could have 3 folders
inbox / archive / trash
inbox - being where everything gets put in when it first comes to the program,
archive - where everything goes once ok'ed, realistically it's a holdover from current hydrus, but I have had manga where the images are fucked and a v2 was needed
trash - where everything goes if deleted.
in the archive, things would be sorted from
series - (manga name)
or
artist - (artist name)
instead of the current has
possibly splitting adult comics into its own little space with a series and artist separation there too.
In the main non porn, series comes above artist, so if something is sorted into a series that's where the files go, with a possible symbolic link in artist,
for the porn section, artist is where things go, with series being the symbolic link
This way, while the program works, you would do all the reading and browsing in it, and when its fucked, people can VERY easily migrate to something else if they even choose to do that much.
Hell the manga version could also do all video too, sorting it much the same way, with series being something more for tv/movies and artist being something more for youtube channels.
I think I got very off track from what this was originally about.
