What's it about?

• GUI: Paste one or more URLs and download. No command line required
• Batch Processing: Submit multiple URLs at once
• Site Rules: Apply specific gallery-dl options based on URL patterns
• Config Editor: Built-in JSON editor with syntax highlighting, validation, and file upload
• Keyword Info: Test what metadata different sites provide for use in your config file
• Job Management: View running, completed, and failed jobs with output and statistics
• Browser Extension: Send URLs directly from your browser with a click
• API: Programmatically send URLs via API endpoint from your own scripts
• Version Management: Download and update gallery-dl binary without leaving the app

Browser Extension

The browser extension allows sending URLs directly to gdluxx without leaving your browser

• Click to send: URL sending from your toolbar
• Keyboard shortcut: Alt+L (customizable) opens the UI
• Image context menu: Right-click any image to send it directly
• Batch sending: Send multiple URLs at once
• URL substitution: Match and replace parts of URLs
• Permissions Control: Limit the extension to specific sites you choose or all of them

Why?

I've been using gallery-dl for a long time now, it's a great program. And while I've come up with processes to make using gallery-dl simpler (rather than executing it against one URL at a time in the terminal), this will eliminate the need to leave the browser. I'm guessing I'll be needing more storage space very soon.
