Version History
Version 3.2.2 (Current)
- Major Reliability Fix: Reworked the script's initialization logic to be fully compatible with single-page application (SPA) navigation. This resolves issues where the script would fail to load on subsequent posts or incorrectly trigger on non-post pages.

- Enhanced Notifications: The notification system is now more dynamic. It provides visual feedback when updating an existing message and correctly resets its auto-hide timer, ensuring users always see the latest status.
- Bug Fixes: Corrected a layout issue in the notification pop-up and eliminated race conditions that caused instability during page navigation.
Version 3.1.3
- Persistent Image Caching: Option to enable persistent image caching using IndexedDB (Dexie.js) for significantly faster image loading on revisits to previously viewed posts.
- PNG Optimization: Optional PNG optimization during ZIP creation (using UPNG.js and Pako) to reduce file sizes for downloaded archives.
Version 3.0.0
- Enhanced Zoom Controls: Improved zoom button visibility with color inversion for better accessibility against different backgrounds.
- Advanced Zoom & Pan: Smooth zoom functionality with mouse wheel, dedicated zoom buttons, and double-click support.
- Touch Support: Mobile-friendly interface with pinch-to-zoom, double-tap to zoom, and smooth touch panning for images.
- Inertia Panning: Momentum-based panning for smooth navigation of zoomed images.
- Expanded Settings Panel: New settings section for zoom and pan configuration including maximum zoom level and inertia preferences, as well as toggles for caching and PNG optimization.
Known Bugs
- Videos are not directly playable within the gallery's expanded view. Clicking a video thumbnail may not open it correctly within the gallery.
- Certain UI elements or functionalities may still have minor issues on
nekohouse.su.
Usage
After installation, navigate to a post on kemono.su, coomer.su, or nekohouse.su. You'll see new buttons for resizing and downloading images. Use the DL ALL button to initiate a batch download of all media in the post. The GALLERY button opens the new gallery view. Press the configured gallery key (default g) to quickly open the gallery.
Within the gallery view, you can open an image by clicking its thumbnail. Once in expanded view, navigate using the k (previous) and l (next) keys or the on-screen navigation buttons.
To zoom in on an image, use the mouse wheel, the zoom buttons in the toolbar, or double-click on the image. When zoomed in, click and drag to pan around the image. On mobile devices, use pinch gestures to zoom and swipe to pan.
