Aight, sure! Here goes:
1. Download and install Grabber (
bionus.github.io/imgbrd-grabber/)
- Click the "Free Download" button, scroll to the bottom of the page and choose the package that's appropriate for your machine.
- You might get some warning about the download/installer not being safe to run, as far as I can tell this is just because it doesn't have a "certificate" included in the installer since it's just made by a single dude. It should be totally safe.
2. After installing and launching it for the first time you should get a prompt asking you for some initial configuration, if you only want to use Grabber to browse your favorites on the hub then all of these settings are irrelevant and you can leave them at default/ignore them. If you want to use Grabber to download some stuff then you can change which folder Grabber downloads images to in this prompt (all these settings can also be changed later on in the "Options" menu of course!)
3. To be able to browse posts from the hub we'll need to add it as a source, to do this click on the "Sources" button near the bottom left. Then click "Add". Uncheck the "Guess" checkbox (You could leave it on and just enter the URL but just out of paranoia I always like to plot all the important values myself) and select "Gelbooru 0.2" in the dropdown selector, then add "
hypnohub.net/" to the "URL" textbox and click "Ok". Lastly, a new entry should now be available in the source list, click the checkbox next to "hypnohub.net" and click the "Ok" button. Now when you search for something in Grabbers search bar it should return results from the hub! Initially you'll probably only see 20 images pr. page, we'll get to where you can change this later!
4. Actually searching through your favorites! First you'll need your user id number, to get this the easiest way I know is to go to your profile page by clicking "My Account" then "My Profile" here on the hub. At the end of the URL there is a number after "id=", this number is your user id number. Back in Grabber enter this into the search bar: fav:user-id-number-here (replacing user-id-number-here with the number you copied from the URL here on the hub, and example would be: fav:1000). This should return all your favorites. Now if you want to be able to search through them, look all the way up in the top right most corner of the Grabber window, there should be a "+" button next to an "Ok" button, click it. You should now be presented with a few more option, including a textbox you can use to choose how many results to display pr. page!
The parameter we are most interested in however is the box called "Post-Filtering", this is the textbox you'll use as the search bar where you input the tags you want to search for. The reason for having to use this instead of the normal search bar is that when you look through your favorites Grabber has to pull them from a special part of the booru using a link like this "
hypnohub.net/index.php?pa...user-id-number-here" which is incompatible with tags, however when use the "Post-Filtering" search Grabber first fetches the images and accompanying tags from the hub, then runs the filter afterwards (hence the name) which effectively allows us to search our (or anyone elses) favorites.
From there you can either view the picture in Grabber by simply clicking it or "Right click" - "Open in Browser".
If you wish to make it look alittle more like the hub, or just not have it burn your eyes out with its searing bright default theme, you can change it into "Dark Mode" by going to "Tools" - "Options" - "Interface" - "Theme" - "QDarkStyleSheet".
Another bonus fact, if you are running your own szuzubooru instance there is a plugin made for Grabber which allows you to automatically grab and image from any booru, upload the image to your booru instance as well as automatically carry over all of the tags from the original post.
It's a pretty neat piece of software and if you end up fining it useful I'd recommend dropping by the guys Patreon (patreon.com/bionus) or Paypal (
