1. Rip a gallery with RipMe3
   • After the rip completes, new files will be created: ripme.sqlite and ripme.downloaded.files.log. LocalGal reads those files.
2. Download the localgal executable from the release page to the folder containing ripme.sqlite and ripme.downloaded.files.log
3. Run the localgal executable that you downloaded.
   • Double-click the executable to show the Server Control GUI and click the Start button, or
   • Run the executable in a terminal to start the server without the GUI
4. Open http://127.0.0.1:5037 in your web browser

• If queries take abnormally long, click the "Optimize" button in the Server Control GUI, or run localgal --optimize. The command could take some minutes when optimization is needed on large databases, so do not run it while the database is being actively used.
  • Alternatively, manually execute PRAGMA optimize; on the database

• Be simple
• Be more convenient for browsing RipMe3 galleries than a file manager
• Perform well on large databases

• User accounts

• Simplify Server Control GUI layout code
• ???

• Fix GitHub pipeline compilation for amd64 mac
• Better icon
• Faster SQL queries
• Periodic SQLite optimization that won't interfere with RipMe3 performance while actively ripping (possible with PRAGMA analysis_limit=400, not sure about the best number)
• Use cancelable PRAGMA optimize
