Filtering Mangas

If you do not wish to scroll through the thousands of mangas in the Manga List Pane to find the manga that you wish to download, the you can use the filtering functionality of YF Otaku Grabber to find the manga that you want with ease. There are two methods of filtering...Quick Filtering and Advanced Filtering.

Note - Advanced filtering and the Caching process

When a manga site's catalogue of mangas are loaded for the first time, the application carries out what is known as the Caching Process. This basically obtains the details about each of the mangas hosted on the site in the background (Basically the Author, Genre, Author, etc.). Therefore the application only knows the name of each of the mangas that are in the catalogue, and hasn't obtained the other details yet, there for an Advanced Search (Which requires the knowledge of the other properties of the manga) cannot be carried out yet until the Caching Process is complete.

If you attempt to use Advanced Filtering while the Caching Process is still underway the application will warn you that you will only be able to search by name, and not allowed to specify any other search criteria until this process is complete. The Advanced Filter window will still appear, but the "Advanced Filter" button will be disabled.
