**Edit: nevermind, I'm retarded =P It didn't work because I made a typo... sourec is not source. I see that it works nicely now.**

How does this work with respect to searching by source:?
I just did source:http://www1.odn.ne.jp/~tuyukusa and tried to apply 'shiou_tsuyukusa' (紫桜 露草). I hit preview and nothing happened though, and I'm not sure I want to apply it if I don't fully know how mass edit works in this respect.
I can just make a tag script and click all the images (there aren't many and that's what I usually do, it's pretty easy) but is there a way to d it from the mass edit screen?
If you create an artist (with the URL fields filled out) and click on the Mass Edit link, it'll take you to the mass edit page with the fields already filled out. You may have to take off some directories off the source, however.
As an example:
Ah nice, I see what you mean. And yeah I always try to get the url down as simple as possible, just gotta watch out for people on popular blogging services.
I've noticed that 'find artist' for that sort of site sometimes brings up a number of possibilities, artists who are all at one site but have different accounts under it, like http://www.example.something.jp/~specific_user or something. Does the 'find artist' option just search the main domain before the first slash? I remember seeing something in the trac about making it start from the end and take off pieces incrementally, is that what it does now or something else?
Here's out Find Artist works:
All artists have three URLs associated with them: Site, Image, and an Extra.
When you click on Find Artist, Danbooru takes the URL and matches it against every artist URL. If it finds any, it stops and returns the matches. If it doesn't find any, Danbooru will chop off everything after the last slash (including the last slash), so http://site.com/img/001.jpg becomes http://site.com/img. If it still doesn't find anything, it'll chop off another directory, so http://site.com/img becomes http://site.com. At this point Danbooru will probably find a bunch of results (this is what happens when you search for an unknown artist hosted on http://sakura.ne.jp for example).
Say an artist Grue has a image URL of http://site.com/img/001.jpg (and suppose the other two URL fields are blank). Now say you're searching for http://site.com/img/002.jpg. Danbooru will search that URL and find nothing. Danbooru chops off a slash and searches the database for http://site.com/img. This matches against http://site.com/img/001.jpg so Danbooru will return Grue as a matching artist.
