EASY TO READY-TO-GO TUTORIAL: CLICK HERE TO GET TAUGHT STEP BY STEP HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM

[TheThirdComputer]

Hi, I write this small post in order to help future people, and maybe hint OP to update the tutorial website.

1. Go to the website https://ktoolbox.readthedocs.io/latest/
2. Go to CMD (or your favorite command prompter), and write "pip3 install ktoolbox" without the "s.
3. Go to the folder/directory where you plan to start your download, there, create a file called "prod.env"
4. Open "prod.env" with notepad/notepad++/etc
5. There, write inside of it this next:

KTOOLBOX_JOB__POST_DIRNAME_FORMAT={id} {title} {published} {user} {service}

KTOOLBOX_JOB__POST_STRUCTURE__ATTACHMENTS=./

KTOOLBOX_JOB__COUNT=1

KTOOLBOX_JOB__SEQUENTIAL_FILENAME=True

KTOOLBOX_JOB__FILENAME_FORMAT=[{title}]_{}

5.1. EXPLAINATION: Each line modifies the way the program works in different ways...

• the first changes the name of the sub-folders created for an artist.
• the second removes the sub-folder inside of the subfolders created, putting all in the same folder for simplicity
• the third helps with not overloading kemono-servers by downloading 1 file at a time (and potentially avoiding getting banned i think?)
• the fourth puts a counter in the downloaded files, to avoid non-perfect copies of files from being downloaded twice (the Ktoolbox is automatized to consider copies certain images which are similar as 100% identical, which can be problematic with alternate-version images, which accidentally can be considered identical but in reality they are not, thus, not downloading all versions uploaded).
• the fifth changes the names of the files downloaded to using their upload title name combined with the fourth line to appropriately do a good job together.
  ... This is what I remember from the top of my mind, for a better way to change the "prod.env" file check the website.

6. In your folder/directory path, write CMD and then there write one of the two next:

ktoolbox sync-creator [WEBSITE-ENTIRE-ARTIST-URL-GOES-HERE]
ktoolbox download-post [WEBSITE-SPECIFIC-POST-URL-GOES-HERE]

7. This step is important, but you wont be able to do it with another software paid or free (I use Clone File Checker which is paid), and is to delete 100% identical files, which sometimes kemono.com kind of glitches out and creates identical files, which when downloading all to avoid the issue of potential similar alternate-versions getting skipped over, you end up with a lot of repeated data.

8. Im certain there is more tips and tricks for KToolBox, but im not that experienced with the program, you should read and research on your own to maximize the efficiency on it. Cheers.
