⚄︎ 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.

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

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.

[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.

Not sure if you knew, but you can navigate to the galleries via the menu when saving the image to the gallery, even if there isn't a gallery element on the page. But yes, it could save some space on the server if we can disable the gallery.

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.
