FAQ

What is a booru?

A booru is a collection of images that are organized by multiple tags, so you can check specific artwork that you desire. It also has the benefit to preserve the image sources and as such increase discoverability.

On LocalBooru, we call a booru a folder that contains all the images and the tags stored and that it is generated on the LocalBooru format.

How does the versioning work?

For the number, the first number is fixed to "1" unless the whole program gets rewritten. The second number is the major version, reserved for when new features come out, and the third is the minor, reserved for bug fixes.

For the names, the versions are named based on any artist's name that we deem good enough to honor. For bug fix versions, the name won't be updated
Some of the parameters that we choose to homenage are:

• Good or outstanding art style (always try to be better)
• Makes inovating and constructive art
• Has let a mark in the artistic community
• Does not interact with drama on a frequent basis (everyone hates drama lets be real)
• Great person overall

How does the autotagging works?

Easy: it just fetches Danbooru's autotagger. Including the autotagger inside the application (for offline usage) is a no-go because it will require installing dependencies such as python on the program, and will increase a lot the application's size.

Can I import my previous image collection?

You can add images in bulk as of 1.6.0, but you will still have to tag them manually.
