🧠 Character Recognition Overhaul & AI Assistant
- Smarter character and franchise sorting: The character recognition system has been overhauled to accurately recognize character and series names from messy, unspaced, or bracketed post titles.
- Full multilingual recognition: Character names written in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and European languages are now matched automatically without needing manual translations.
- Optional AI reasoning for capable PCs: Users with modern PCs or dedicated graphics cards can enable offline AI reasoning in Settings to deduce obscure characters by cross-referencing an artist's past download history.
- In-app model downloads with live progress: Download AI models directly inside Settings with real-time download speeds, percentage bars, and full cancellation support.
- Interactive test sandbox: Test messy post titles directly in Settings to preview how the app will organize your folders before downloading.
☁️ Cloud Downloader Filtering & Organization
- Keyword & size filters for cloud links: Files inside shared Mega, Google Drive, Dropbox, and GoFile links now respect your skip words and file size limits so unwanted files are ignored.
- Automatic subfolder sorting for cloud files: Content downloaded from cloud links can now be automatically sorted into character and franchise folders just like direct downloads.
- Instant cloud cancellation: Cancelling downloads for external cloud links now stops network transfers immediately.
📑 Watchlist & Archive Fixes
- Stuck Watchlist updates fixed: Clicking "Update" on a creator whose new posts were already downloaded or archived now clears the notification badge properly instead of doing nothing.
- Automatic archive database self-healing: Older download archives with missing file type information are now repaired automatically on launch, preventing files from vanishing into the "Other" category.
- "Only Links" filtering fixed: Date range filters, skip words, and character whitelists now apply properly when extracting link lists.
