⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

[Request] text-to-image-plugin gallery-saving features (self.perchance)

Set saveTitle when saving

Currently it's set before it's even generated, when most of the time you don't know what it's even going to look like. Thought it would be useful to be able to optionally put a name into a textbox by the gallery save button so you can give it a title after you know what the image is.

Option to disable gallery-saving

If you're not using a gallery anyway, may as well not allow users to save to the gallery no one will ever see. If the user is expecting it to save away to a gallery and to be able to get that image back by browsing the gallery (even their own privately-named gallery)... it'll be a bummer when they realise they can't.

Also, saves space on the server, not having all those images stored that no one will ever see.

If the setting is not set, in theory, may be able to detect if the generator has a gallery showing on the page, and only then allow the user to save to the gallery? That could retroactively work for existing image generators that do and do not have galleries.

Ooooh, right, yeah I see it now. Fair enough. Yeah if this could be an option (perhaps even default to off, if you make a new generator sort of thing) could be good.

Also means the temporarily stored images can be stored for an even shorter time because once they've been downloaded by the browser that requested them they are definitely not needed ever again.
