# Kemono Downloader v3.2.0
A feature-rich GUI application built with PyQt5 to download content from **Kemono.su** or **Coomer.party**.
Offers robust filtering, smart organization, manga-specific handling, and performance tuning.
This version introduces:
- Multi-part downloads
- Character filtering by comments
- Filename word removal
- Various UI/workflow enhancements
---
## 🚀 What's New in v3.2.0
### 🔹 Character Filter by Post Comments (Beta)
- New "Comments" scope for the 'Filter by Character(s)' feature.
**How it works:**
1. Checks if any **filenames** match your character filter. If yes → downloads the post (skips comment check).
2. If no filename matches → scans the **post's comments**. If matched → downloads the post.
- Prioritizes filename-matched character name for folder naming, otherwise uses comment match.
- Cycle through filter scopes with the `Filter: [Scope]` button next to the character input.
---
### ✂️ Remove Specific Words from Filenames
- Input field: `"✂️ Remove Words from name"`
- Enter comma-separated words (e.g., `patreon, kemono, [HD], _final`)
- These are removed from filenames (case-insensitive) to improve organization.
---
### 🧩 Multi-part Downloads for Large Files
- Toggle multi-part downloads (OFF by default).
- Improves speed on large files (e.g., >10MB videos, zips).
- Falls back to single-stream on failure.
- Toggle via `Multi-part: ON/OFF` in the log header.
---
### 🧠 UI and Workflow Enhancements
- **Updated Welcome Tour**
Shows on first launch, covers all new and core features.
- **Smarter Cancel/Reset**
Cancels active tasks and resets UI — but retains URL and Download Directory fields.
- **Simplified Interface**
- Removed "Skip Current File" and local API server for a cleaner experience.
---
### 📁 Refined File & Duplicate Handling
- **Duplicate Filenames**
Adds numeric suffix (`file.jpg`, `file_1.jpg`, etc.).
Removed the "Duplicate" subfolder system.
- **Efficient Hash Check**
Detects and skips duplicate files within the same session (before writing to disk).
- **Better Temp File Cleanup**
Cleans up `.part` files — especially if duplicate or compressed post-download.
