I’m able to drop a file into the reverse image search form, using Chrome on Windows. You have to drop it onto the file picker element ([Choose File] No file chosen), not just anywhere on the document like some sites allow - is that what you’re requesting?

Drag and drop support for the reverse image search would be handy as I have a ton of files and picking them out one by one , starting at the top of directories each time, gets tiresome.

OC and Character categories are different.

@Maonyman
Why, in the first example is count(ocs):0 necessary? If you’re looking for images with exactly two characters and then specify Twilight & Flutters, they should take up the two character slots and not leave room for OCs.

@Background Pony #0F89
The count operator would work as well, if it supported tag categories. I could do something like count(characters):2, count(ocs):0, ts, fs to accomplish the same thing as ONLY (ts AND fs)

It’s probably easier to implement too, and more flexible–useful in more scenarios.

@Background Pony #0F89
Yeah, that syntax works too.

@JP
*coughs conspicuously*

Though your specific use case is imperfect (characters that imply other names, depictions of characters not present such as in a painting on a wall, or non-character-tag characters such as from non-MLP franchises)

Besides, Maonyman’s suggestion is different, in that they want to search for specific tag(s) in a category and exclude any others.

A “count” operator would indeed be wonderful. Imagine doing something like this:

If categories are supported, then this:

would return images that have more than one character in them but have been incorrectly tagged as “solo”.

@Sff
Having a way to find images with more than one artist tagged would be incredibly useful.

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
Could also be implemented as a search term for the count of tags of a certain category, like searching for images with 1 character, or with more than one artist.

@TexasUberAlles
Then convert them server-side to something friendlies. Any OS stack or photo editor that doesn’t support WebP by now is half-assed garbage, anyway.

@Prisoner416
On the other hand webp is, universally, a 100% shit format for the end user, so no.

@Maonyman
Seconding this request. It would help turn up solo images missing the solo tag, too.

Add support for webp images. All major browsers support them and the compression is better than png for lossless, and beats jpg for lossy quality.

An “ONLY” keyword for search, where it will return results which contain images with the character(s) listed, and no others. So searching for ONLY (ts AND fs) would return images which contain Twilight and Fluttershy but no other tags from the character or OC categories. It would not take terribly complicated logic to implement and would be INCREDIBLY useful (therefore I fully expect to be shot down and/or ignored).

@Ciaran
Then such a feature would also need to wait for the improvement to notifications where comment threads where all the new comments are deleted comments do not generate notifications. a.k.a. remove the notification from the list if it is no longer valid.

Would it be possible to include image descriptions in data dumps?

(I don’t remember if I’ve asked this before.)

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
That would be nice. But given that the reply can be edited after clicking a ‘reply’ to not include the original ‘reply to’, parsing that there was indeed a reply to a specific someone can be … nonintuitive.

@moonchosen
…or a way to only subscribe to comment pings in a thread? Both features have definitely been requested here before.

@TexasUberAlles
You’re welcome. I’m a big fan of people not being able to edit those comments, too.

I appreciate that attempting to edit a comment on an image where the comments have been locked just redirects to the front page; that’s a nice feature.

How about special notifications for when someone is replying directly to your comment as opposed to when they’re just replying to a post/thread you’re subscribed to?

To sort images by most recent comment date might be interesting, is that feasible?

That, or the ability to filter comments search by properties of the image they are for, other than building a ridiculous list of (image_id:# || image_id:# || image_id:#) from an image search conducted separately…

I didn’t know it did that, I thought it gave you a completely random image from the DB. Thanks!

@TwilyInSocks
The “Random Image” button both already exists, and it takes your current query into account, both on search pages, on image pages opened from a search and on image pages opened through the “Random Image” button
