โš„๏ธŽ 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.

This is a problem that I've been encountered very often but not as inconvenient as the previous bugs I've been reported on this community. It was stuck on "Preparing" or "Preprocessing" even though console messages already told me that the image had already been generated successfully, and the only way to reveal the generated image is to do something that re-renders the frame (like scrolling until the edge touches the image frames, hovering over them, or going to another tab and then going back to the tab where the frame goes).

This usually happens once in a few times, and more often when a generator had or configured to output multiple text-to-image-plugin frames in one single page, for instance, on beautiful-people or text2image-generator with Number of Images set to 4.

But again, if the Dev managed to fix this, that'd be great! ๐Ÿ™‚

Edit: Apparently this is not an issue on Firefox while testing if this bug persists in that browser.

Unrelated: I also saw a post by @[email protected] about the broken offline editor and demands a fix for it (https://lemmy.world/post/11403025), in case you hadn't noticed it. @[email protected]

I would assume this is to require 'activity' from the user. Meaning, it requires a user interaction for it to work e.g. scrolling the frame into view, hovering the mouse to see the image, etc.

That also makes sense, but it did not always happen. When I try to click on generate multiple times on the Text to Image Plugin Example, the image always automatically pops out without even any interaction on the single text-to-image-plugin frame. But when I add more frames, the "bug" happened.

I'm assuming this is more likely of an issue when multiple frames are trying to reveal the generated images each other one by one, so that doing some "activity" is required to do that.

very true! been like that as long as i can remember and always had to scroll the page to get images to show. now that you mention it maybe it wasnt intended that way lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

@Alllo Yeah, scrolling out the page might be the most efficient way if you're too lazy having to move the cursor around and/or having many image generations on the screen at once ๐Ÿ™‚
