Creating collection

Important

Pixiv Powerful Viewer parses specific folder structure inside collections. Follow the steps below to configure Powerful Pixiv Downloader extension properly.

• You can use any folder structure as long as every work has it's own folder with metadata file and all the assets directly in it
• If metadata file wasn't found, program assumes folder name to be the title of the work and its parent folder to represent the author's name
• Every image should have its page number in parentheses at the end of the file name
• Or you can just paste this "Naming rule" in the Download tab of the extension:

  {page_title}/{user} ({user_id})/{title} ({id_num})/{title} ({p_num})
  

• Make sure to turn off the option "Save the R-18(G) works in the designated folder"
• Turn off the option "Do not create a folder when there is only one crawl result"
• In the More tab select "Show advanced settings" and check all types of works under "Save the metadata of the work" option
• Also, I think it's better to "Save the ugoira work as" GIF

On the screenshots below I used the works of あおいとり for demonstration. I didn't really ask for permission, but they're the great artist, and I encourage you to check out their work. Please, don't sue me :)
