Description

SIR fetches data from popular image galleries, suggesting informative file names through the usual 'Save As…' dialog.

The naming template is customizable; by default it's set to:

{handle}@{OR} {ID} {name} {caption} {tags},

{handle} represents author's nickname (usually it's a part of the gallery link), {OR} is site abbreviation as follows below, {ID} is a platform-unique ID of the picture (if present), {name} is author's human-readable name (often it's not the same as handle!), {caption} is the image title as specified by the creator, {tags} is a string of tags, separated by spaces (in-tag spaces are replaced by underscores).

Additionally, the selected text can be passed on as well with {selection} string.

Supported site	OR ('origin')	ID type
Artstation	AS	case-sensitive alphanumeric
Deviantart	DA	numeric
Drawfriends	DF	numeric
Hentai-Foundry	HF	numeric
Instagram	IG	case-sensitive alphanumeric with underscore
Pixiv	PX	numeric
Tumblr	TU	none
X (Twitter)	TW	none
MedicalWhiskey	MW	numeric
VidyArt	VA	numeric
Danbooru	DB	numeric
TODO: Kemono-Party	KP	???
TODO: Gumroad	GR	???

The resulting filename is compatible with 0xb8/WiseTagger#1 and can be further tweaked by specifying a custom template through the extension context menu.

Please note:

• On some sites many or all identifiers could be missing (and thus cannot be fetched).
• No Unique IDs are known for X (Twitter) and Tumblr. If you do happen to know how to decipher ids for these platforms, please contact me.

Technical details

Every time a new page from the listed domains is loaded, SIR adds to it a content script, which responds for pings from the extension. If the active tab has this script responding, context menu items would be enabled, allowing input.

By user request ("SIR Image Renamer" → "Download with tags"), content scripts parse the page and pass the info to renaming procedure. This procedure suggests the file downloader a name to save the file by. "Save As" dialogue is invoked depending on whether the Suppress 'Save As' option was selected. By default, the image is saved in your browser's default download directory.

In addition, it is possible to manually get the list of parsed tags by pressing Ctrl+Shift+1 or selecting "Get tags string" in the context menu.

One can see what info is discovered by SIR ("SIR Image Renamer" → "Highlight fetched tags?"):

For currently shown image or video on Instagram, the extension first promotes it to maximum available quality and then removes (right-click preventing) obstructions. This enables proper behavior not only for SIR, but for all the regular context menu options too (including third-party extensions depending on context menus, ex. Image Search Options!).

When opening single images from twimg.com domain (Twitter hosting server), SIR will prompt you for navigation to their full-sized original counterparts. Additionally, on Pixiv invoking a menu from a thumbnail, queues the download of the full-resolution picture.

Chromium: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sir-image-renamer/gmdcgijknjodfhggamchhhejamncbgmc

Recommendations

• SIR is a self-sufficient extension, yet it works wonders in conjunction with .
• Although a handy tool, it's not(yet?) a batch downloader. You still have to manually save each file.
• Some authors include no tags whatsoever, others fill way too much useless general-sounding clutter, so if you're aiming for maximum resolution, please check and tweak the name before saving.
• Overabundant tags can sometimes exceed the filename length limit, thus they will be trimmed to nearest space below 230 symbols.

Planned features (TODO)

• Customizable template
• 'Options' page (as page action) to tweak and store persistent user options
• Download subfolder customization
• Localisation (…s?)
• Integration with for stealing tags (maybe?)
• Batch downloads (maybe?)

Known bugs

• Twitter - when scrolling through the infinite view, unrelated tags are fetched (since SIR fetches tags from the whole visible area). Please save images from individual post page for now.
• Chrome/Chromium-based browsers do not allow setting 'referer' header; thus, on Pixiv, it's not possible to download the image through context menu. Please use Get Tags String → Save As… in the meantime.
