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.

  • 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.

Text to Image Gallery questions... (self.perchance)

I've been messing with creating a t2i generator for a while, and I just discovered some things that I had no clue about regarding the gallery...

I understand how "Save to gallery" works, and that the default "public" gallery is specific to the generator, and images can also be saved to different user-definable galleries (are these also generator specific?).

What I didn't know was that the "NO" icon is NOT for deleting an image - it is for blocking a user (which is great functionality, btw).

Is there no way to selectively delete images from a gallery or the server? Do saved images remain on the server even if the specific generator is deleted? Are the saved images publicly accessible even if the generator is private?

Apparently if I duplicate the generator, it totally resets the gallery, so that's good. Does renaming the generator also reset the gallery?

I also clicked on the "Thumbs up" icon for the first time. Presumably, this is used for the "Sort by" functionality (trending, best), and for the hideIfScoreIsBelow gallery option.

What I didn't know was that there is no way to "undo" this upvote/downvote.

Is there no way to reset the score of an image, or change your vote?

Thanks for any insights!

Is there no way to selectively delete images from a gallery or the server?

As far as I know, when the image is down voted enough, the image will be blacked out/hidden on the gallery like so:

So, making the 'hideScoreIfBelow' to a number like -1, will have images that are just generated- then downvoted, be blacked out. For 'deleting' the image, I don't think there is an option.

Do saved images remain on the server even if the specific generator is deleted? Does renaming the generator also reset the gallery?

I just tested this and the saved images are linked to the 'generator name' i.e. when you delete a generator that has images on it, save the name, create a new generator, change the URL of the new generator to the old one, it will show the old pictures from the deleted generator (this is may be due to it cached or will take a while for the server to delete the 'deleted' generators' data) so if you mis-delete your generator, you can still get the images back.

Renaming will also reset the gallery due to the images being linked to the 'generator name' (I think).

Are the saved images publicly accessible even if the generator is private?

As long as someone has the link to your generator, I think yes. Unless you save the images into a different gallery name which the user with the link doesn't know about, they wouldn't. (They also couldn't see the 'other gallery' unless they input the name into the gallery even if using the Browser DevTools)

Is there no way to reset the score of an image, or change your vote?

Yup, currently I don't think there is.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah.. my experiments have been showing the same things (although I didn't try deleting a generator and creating a new one with the old name).

Good info.. perhaps image deletion will be added at some point - though I can see the problem with allowing this currently on PUBLIC generators/galleries.

Unless you save the images into a different gallery name which the user with the link doesn’t know about, they wouldn’t.

I just confirmed that renamed galleries are also generator specific, not, as I had first assumed, user specific. So I guess if a generator is deleted, the renamed gallery won't be accessible at all. Unless another gen with the same name is created, as your test showed.

Probably something like the comments-plugin admin mode for the admins to remove the images can possibly be implemented.

But, I wonder if you block the person from the gallery, would another person that didn't block the blocked user still see the images of the blocked person or are they blocked for all users?

I assume that it will only be blocked for the user who blocked them.

[–] Ashenthorn 1 points 1 year ago

That's a good question.. since the list of blocked users is in the code (not blocked images).
