Feature request: automatic highres and absurdres

Posted under General

I'm sure it would be extremely easy to do this, so... feature request: tag images as highres and/or absurdres automatically upon upload. Also a one-time pass over the database to cover posts uploaded so far (before the feature potentially goes into effect).

What do you guys think? Should I submit a trac ticket? Or is this a waste of time? I somehow get the idea that a lot of people check the highres and absurdres tags often, since posts I upload tagged as such tend to get a lot more favorites and much higher scores, even if their actual content isn't (at least as far as I can tell) much better than my other posts.

Well, you can already do this technically. Search for mpixels:2.5.. to find images that are 2.5 megapixels or larger.

Unfortunately, at least according to the wiki, highres and absurdres are defined by minimal height or width. So technically there could be a 1x1200 post (0.0012 megapixels) which would still qualify as "highres".

I don't really care about highres or absurdres. What I care about is whether an image will cause my browser to freeze for seconds while it's being uncompressed and rendered. That doesn't seem to be strictly a function of resolution, though.

OK, sorry for the bump, but nobody seems to have addressed my latest post :P I still think this is a feature that could be implemented easily and with a very small performance hit. It makes no sense for the implementation of a tag whose criteria are so machine-understandable to be left up to users to prosecute.

So should I submit a trac ticket?

Sure, it definitely could. But I think it would actually be less strain on the server to just do one mass edit now, and then put the autotagging process in during the step of importing the image into the DB, however that's done. While you have the file open to hash it or whatever, you could easily use imagemagick or something to get its dimensions, rather than having to do a DB query and a bunch of edits later ;)

Also, minor point, but those queries should be ~width:>=1600 ~height:>=1200 -highres and ~width:>=3200 ~height:>=2400 -absurdres, if that even works. OK, I checked, it doesn't. Just another reason that these tags should be automated.

Bringing back this older topic...but this just happens to be one of my pet peeves...

I wish I had a count of how many times I've tagged "highres/absurdres" but it's been a lot, and that's just on pics that I like/open up for whatever reason. It just seems to be overlooked a lot when people are uploading (I literally tagged another one just now) and having it done automatically would be great.

I think that this would be a good idea as well, but before, when the topic of megapixals was brought up, I was wondering, if there was a way just to look at the height\width of an image rather than the megapixals, this could probably work very well.

I mass edited the existing pics (in 4 separate jobs to work around the impossibility of saying ~width:>=1600 ~height:>=1200 -highres), so we have a clean slate. Incidentally, this also resulted in me owning over 80% of http://danbooru.donmai.us/report/tag_changes :)

Damn you! Luckily I can take comfort in the fact that your landslide tag victory is marred by the "��" in the pie chart.
