Note

Novels are not yet supported. I think about adding the support in the future

Note

Load time of huge collections can be quite long now. Since I moved all file system interractions to Rust I haven't implemented loading in chunks yet. Stay tuned for the next release!

Creating collection

Important

Pixiv Powerful Viewer parses specific folder structure inside collections. Follow the steps below to configure Powerful Pixiv Downloader extension properly.

• You can use any folder structure as long as every work has it's own folder with metadata file and all the assets directly in it
• If metadata file wasn't found, program assumes folder name to be the title of the work and its parent folder to represent the author's name
• Every image should have its page number in parentheses at the end of the file name
• Or you can just paste this "Naming rule" in the Download tab of the extension:

  {page_title}/{user} ({user_id})/{title} ({id_num})/{title} ({p_num})
  

• Make sure to turn off the option "Save the R-18(G) works in the designated folder"
• Turn off the option "Do not create a folder when there is only one crawl result"
• In the More tab select "Show advanced settings" and check all types of works under "Save the metadata of the work" option
• Also, I think it's better to "Save the ugoira work as" GIF

Hotkeys

Note

On the screenshots below I used the works of あおいとり for demonstration. I didn't really ask for permission, but they're the great artist, and I encourage you to check out their work. Please, don't sue me :)
