I just finished semi-testing this tool I've been programming for the last days. I've seen all around journals from artists saying 'I'm not going to transfer all of my pics from FA to IB', so when the new FA's AUP is forced upon the artists, a lot of drawings will dissapear forever.
Isn't that a shame? I had to transfer around 15 pics from my FA account to Sofurry. I know it's a big pain in the ass to download, submit, copy and paste the descriptions, set the tags, etc, so I thought about writing down a program that would let anybody transfer 1 pic or their whole gallery and scraps with 3 simple clicks.
It will transfer the pic (or music, or story, or flash), the original thumbnail, the tags, the mature/clean/adult level, the title, the description, and even convert some stuff, like the linking icons.
Since the scripts need valid user/passwords for both FA and Inkbunny, please, change those before using the script, just for security sake. When the script is done with its work, change them back.
You will also have to go to the settings in this page and check 'Allow API access'.
NOTE: It may still be very buggy, but it's not harmful or dangerous in any way. The submissions here will be 'hidden' until you mark them as 'public' (with a 2-click procedure), so the worst that can happen is that a submission didn't get completely transferred (missing title, desc, something). Feel free to add me to your msn if you need assistance or see a bug. I'm going to stay online for several hours now and the next days. I'll appear as offline, but I might be there. If I don't respond, PM me here or on FA.
NOTE2: It'd be cool if you spread out the voice, specially to artists with a lot of pictures on FA that don't feel like doing the tedious work of having to submit them here manually.
NOTE3: Neither FA's or IB's administration supports this script. It's my idea, my doing and my problem.
wowz! if i didnt already have a back up of my art on FA and had it bulk uploaded here months ago this would have come in real handy! it also would have come in handy a couple days ago when i downloaded a freind's FA gallery and scraps for them xP. great idea and i will tell people of this! :D

Yeah, I guess I should have done it a week ago instead of spending it ranting about the change of policy and moving my own stuff out xD But I dunno, I was quite bored this last weekend, and on monday I got the inspiration and mental strength needed to do it :P Now I only hope people use it!

Thanks a lot! ^^ Hopefully the word will be spread about it before some artists wipe out their gallery (or get it wiped) without having those pictures somewhere else!

That error showed up to another user. I think it's either because you changed the inkbunny's password while the script was running or because of a components' error. If you didn't change it, then just reload that page. If you did, then tell me and I'll make an exception so instead of throwing out an ugly error it will just say 'your IB password doesn't work anymore!' :)

I didn't change the password while it was running... I've been making PDFs of each error; will get them all to you when it's done. It's just running into errors every now and then.

It seems it's because of a miscomunnication that sometimes happens between my server and IB. I set the script to retry and then stop 'normally' if the error persists, since it will just go through just by retrying most of times c:

Excellent! Fairly seamless, just a small glitch in handling the ' character, and grabbing the dropdown tags should be a toggle-based option during import. Keep it up!

Thank you! Yeah, there have been trouble with the ' character and other characters. I'm still trying to find out why :( In the end, that's the best result I could get. All the alternatives meant to have the description or title either cut or totally blank, so I thought this was preferable :)
What do you mean about the dropdown tags?

This is the bomb! I was hoping someone would write something like this. As for apostrophes, what you probably want to do is check your charset and make sure it is UTF-8, and maybe double quote your strings, also make sure the quote marks and apostrophes inside the fields are escaped out with backslashes. Dunno what language you used but most languages can do that fairly easily.

Thanks a lot!! ^^ Regarding the charset, I really tried to send things over to IB in very different ways. Look at the reply I gave to Akkeresu just above your comment. I'm trying to sort it out with the developers here to see if I we can find a solution :)

Yep, sometimes for some reason my server doesn't seem to communicate with IB's. I added a couple of exceptions in that script so it will just retry to do it before throwing that ugly screen, and if it fails twice, just stop and ask the user to reload.

there was a blank submission (thumbnails all loaded except one) that was checked off...so i unchecked it, and unchecked the image that was trying to upload when it threw up this error twice... it seems to have worked!.....................where is everything XD the tool said it'd be hidden but...i have no idea how to navigate this site yet x.x; *rummage*'

Hehehehe, it's ok! Just go to your gallery, it should be there with a 'hidden' icon, so you just have to select the submissions (or all) and then select 'make these images public', and there you go! :)

i literally didnt have a gallery link xD I had to look up my user id and edit someone else's gallery link to point to mine....i found my gallery was empty, and then realized there's a button under my main gallery as well as scraps.. >.>; i thought the button at the bottom of the page would just upload everything ever! Doh!

hmmm, was this the last you tried? https://www.furaffinity.net/view/680663. PM here with the details, and pasting me the 'ugly text' you see in the grey box. It's the only way for me to be able to track the problem! :)

great job on this. I have one question though. When I checked my gallery here, most of the submissions were marked as "do not show. Is there an option where it can automatically make it so they are able to be seen by everyone?
Also I wonder if there is a way to do this. But what if there were a script or something that one could use, maybe where you could input say, a FA username of say an artist you want and it could download the images from their galleries & scrap section?
It would be cool if there were also a way to have it all downlaod to a directory specified by the user and it could like, auto create a sub directory based on the username of the artist. And, maybe even have a seperate folder for scraps & gallery section for those who want to be super organized or something. XD
Not sure if you are one to take ideas like this, but just a suggestion is all. ^_^ Great job on this.

Eeek! After spending some time responding to this, IB went into maintenance mode and the reply didn't go through! >_>
In a nutshell, I replied that you can just 'select all' pics in your gallery and then select 'make these images public' in the pull-down box. I made it like that so people could review the submissions before releasing them and also so they can decide whether to inform the watchers or not. It's just a one-click process :)
About the other kind of script, of course it's do-able, but I wouldn't make a script that would flood FA with requests. That could mean my perma-ban from it xD But I know there's a firefox extension called 'Fa-extender' that does something like what you want. Google it :)
