The Scraper Update of 6/25/2018

As announced here the scraper’s got some new changes. This topic is here for discussion and feedback regarding the updated behavior.
 
Highlights:
 

Окей.

Neat!

Hey!  
Are fetching images from other art sites like Furaffinity, Pixiv, and Tumblr feasible?

@Lord Seraph  
Tumblr is already supported, other sites may be added in the future if there is demand.

@DJDavid98  
Thanks . I had issues with my tumblr links .

awesome!

Does Fetch also grab the “_raw.” version from Tumblr? I’ve stopped bothering and just change the link to the 1280 version since they effed up their internal filing system and now you have to add some kind of Amazon link nonsense into the URL instead of just deleting the “data.” part; I don’t feel like googling that mess every time.

@TexasUberAlles  
Yep, it’s been grabbing the raw version for a few months now, that’s not changed.

So, now clicking “fetch” is obligatory for DA images. is that intentional or a bug?

@DJDavid98  

@Mildgyth  
Could you elaborate? I’m not sure what you mean. The scraper has always been optional, the Twitter thing was only done because people have been uploading various direct links, and the scraper will pull the one that’s best to avoid confusion.

@DJDavid98
 
If i try to upload a image from DA without clicking “fetch” first, it’ll say that they couldn’t find a image in that URL, and the same thing happens even if i put in a raw image URL instead of the page URL.

@Mildgyth  
Why wouldn’t you click Fetch? I didn’t think it was possible to submit the form without it.

@DJDavid98
 
It’s possible; it’s useful for when i don’t want to waste time removing certain descriptions. or for when a image doesn’t have a description at all.

@Mildgyth  
So basically you’d fill in the tags and description, and the image and source would be filled by the scraper when you submit?

@DJDavid98
 
Yes.
 
Besides that, there are certain DA addresses that don’t gel well with the scraper, even before the update, plus mature content, that can’t be reached by the scraper. how am i going to upload from these when even the raw image URLs don’t work?
 
That seems like it’d also affect FA images too, because they can only be reached by raw image links.

@Mildgyth  
It’s clear that I’ve broken this workflow with the update, if you can give me a few links the scraper doesn’t work with I’ll try to restore this method as well. In the meantime, if you’re on Windows, you can paste the direct link into the file open dialog, and press Enter or click Open to add it that way. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@DJDavid98
 
Usually, it’s whole artist URLs that have that; this one, for example. nothing in it works with the scraper, so i have to put raw image URLs to upload.

@Mildgyth  
I meant links that used to work. Adding new options for DeviantArt is something for the future, I want to fix what I’ve broken first.

@DJDavid98
 
That’s all DA images.
 
Try this one, for example

@Mildgyth  
Alright, I’ll get a fix out as soon as I can.

Twitter integration sounds kinda useless

Reverse search doesn’t work if you don’t fetch image:  
Tested on https://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/d95cecf92e0a705712cb35b4e152269d/tumblr_pav3z30IM81xqhlmfo1_r3_raw.png . Throws “We could not find an image at the URL you provided” if I don’t click “fetch”.  
It works if I fetch, through.

Yep, I completely missed that you could use this without clicking the Fetch button. I’ll look into fixing this as soon as I can.
