## Features

- Support concurrent downloading of multiple files
- Automatically retry on API call or download failure
- Support downloading a single post or **all posts** of a specified artist
- Can **update downloaded** artist directories to the latest state
- Support customizing the **file and directory name format** and **directory structure** for downloaded posts/artists
  - For example, the post directory can be set to the format `[2025-01-02]_TheTitle`, and image files can be named sequentially as `1.jpg`, `2.jpg`, etc.
  - If you want to store all images from an artist's posts in a single directory for preview, you can use the `job.mix_posts` config option with a custom filename format to get a directory with hundreds or thousands of images
    - Such as `[2025-01-02]_TheTitle_1.jpg`, `[2025-01-02]_TheTitle_2.jpg`, `[2025-01-02]_TheTitle_3.jpg`, etc.
- Support excluding **specified file formats** or downloading only specified formats
  - For example, if you don't want to download large and duplicate PSD or archive files, you can exclude `.psd` and `.zip` files in the config
- Support filtering downloads by **file size**
  - For example, if you want to avoid downloading large video files when running out of disk space, you can set a maximum file size limit in the config
  - You can also set a minimum file size to skip downloading thumbnail or preview images
- Support filtering downloads by post **title keywords**
  - For example, if you only want to download posts whose titles contain "表情" or "効果音差分", you can use the `sync-creator` command with the `--keywords` option
  - You can also exclude posts with specific keywords in the title using the `--keywords-exclude` option
- Support filtering downloads by post **publish date range**
- Can parse and download images contained in the multi-info text of the post page HTML
  - These posts are characterized by images not loading immediately when the browser enters the page, and no preview images
- Can collect **cloud drive links** listed on the post page and save them to a text file
- Can search for artists and posts, and export results
  - If you want to process artist and post data yourself, you can use this feature to export JSON data
- Cross-platform support, with iOS shortcuts provided
  - The pure Python branch can run on iOS a-Shell or in the browser via Pyodide
- For _Coomer.st / Coomer.su / Coomer.party_ support, please refer to the documentation [Coomer](https://ktoolbox.readthedocs.io/latest/zh/coomer/)
