Check out https://github.com/re621/re621.Legacy if you haven't. Needs a script manager extension like Tampermonkey, but otherwise it's easy set up and really great feature-wise.
That looks interesting, and I'll check it out. Thank you :3
No prob. Dunno what you're looking for specifically in a desktop client, but re621 has a really incredible amount of functionality. It has basically everything I wanted that the site lacks, and has a ton of extra stuff that I didn't even consider, but absolutely love. Couple of game changing features:
"subscribe" to tags/artists (receive a notification and a dropdown box of new images from tags you mark)
thumbnail size and quality tweaking
hover zoom (hover mouse over a thumbnail for a customizable time and it'll show a large scale image) and the ability to favorite images from the thumbnail.
Can't recommend it enough honestly.
I've just installed it and will play around with it for a bit. Subscribing to artists and tags is a big one. You can even subscribe to whole search strings. That's awesome! The download feature is pretty cool, too, and although the hover zoom still feels a bit weird, I kinda like it. All that I'm missing after looking at it for ten minutes is an option to keep the tags on e6 in the downloaded image's metadata, but that's no big deal :3
Hover zoom took me a bit to get used to, and what helped a lot was dialing in the "Trigger Delay", and making thumbnail size as small as possible while still being the number across that I wanted (ie: in rows of 4, but on the small side) so there's extra dead space between images for my mouse so I don't accidentally hover zoom.
tags in metadata would be a great feature for sure, and for downloads I've resigned to only limiting it to artist and character/copyright info via folders. There's a couple other scripts floating around on the e6 forums that may or may not play well with it, so you may be able to find some kind of metadata script to use along side it.
