Manage large media collections and re-organize them using tags instead of folders that you can share via custom servers with this application.

The Unlicense

Changelog

    Misc:

    'unusual character' collapse logic for short text inputs in tag autocomplete lookups. in human, this means typing 'a' now correctly gives you the tag '/a/' and vice versa (issue #799)
    To make this work, an old database subtag map cache is revived this week in a more efficient form. if you sync with the PTR, it will take a couple minutes to update. the regen routine is also added to the database->regen menu, in case it ever desynchronises in future
    Absent an override referral url, api-linked url fetches now use the original url as referrer. previously they were sending no referrer. this fixes watching spicy boards on 8chan.moe
    Updated a 'get all this stuff' database routine to report more info, and a handful of supermassive jobs (mostly db maintenance regen) now report x/y progress with y, rather than just a nebulous increasing x
    An odd bug in a common UI text-clearing call that was causing real text not to show up for a while after the clear. this was most apparent in the downloader highlight panels, where status text on file/gallery/network status could sometimes stay blank until a change
    The manage tags dialog's "there are several things you can do" button box when you enter tags in complicated situations is now clearer. there are several sorts of intro text on the dialog, the button labels are clearer, and button tooltips have more action information
    The tumblr downloader! sorry for the trouble here, I hadn't realised the situation from some reports. if you have tumblr subs, please go into them and set to 'try again' any recent urls that say 'Found 0 new URLs.'

    Taglists:

    You can now right-click any edit/write taglist (like those across the manage tags dialog) and choose to hide/show the implied parents that now hang underneath tags
    You can set whether this defaults to hide or show, separately for the regular taglists and the autocomplete results dropdown, under options->tags
    The taglist now sorts lexicographically using sibling tag data where available. I had expected to make options here to use storage or ideal tag, but once I tried it out, using the ideal all the time felt proper to me, so let's see how it goes
    The routine that removes mutually exclusive predicates (e.g. system:inbox/archive) when adding to the active search predicates taglist. this fixes the 'exclude xxx from search' menu action and other add/swap actions (issue #815)
    Gave the taglist right-click menu another quick pass. since there are all sorts of actions that may or not appear, and menu items can get pretty wide with tag text, I am trying out an intentionally short and thin top-level menu of 'verbs' that is quick to navigate with your mouse, and then tuck longer and taller stuff in secondary menus

    Boring code cleanup:

    Cleaned and unified a bunch of the new taglist sibling and parents display logic and other legacy variables. it now basically all derives from one storage/display state, so behaviour across the program should be more unified. this may cause confusion in some more advanced dialogs, so let me know anywhere it looks weird
    The 'favourites' autocomplete tab in 'edit/write' a/c dropdowns now show siblings and parents for the current display service
    The tag suggestions favourites dropdowns and taglists in the options now show siblings/parents according to the current service
    The 'url class precedence' routine, which tests more 'specific' url classes first when trying to match an url, has a subtle logic change--now, url classes are first considered more 'specific' according to number of path components and parameters that have no default. this stops an url class with multiple optional parameters overriding another with a single parameter (this is what affected the tumblr downloader above). the specific (descending) sort key is now (required components, total components, required parameters, total parameters, len normalised example url)
    Refactored client object serialisation access routines to a new db module
    Refactored database transaction code and status tracking to a separate object
    Refactored some more tag definition routines to the master tag module

The Music Collection is a free program that allows you to archive your music collection. Using it you can enter in a collection any kind of music media that you own or you intend to. Also you can add or edit any kind of information concerning the albums in the collection.

The album info can be manually entered or automatically via the Internet. After saving the albums, you can browse them, filter albums by all possible criteria and search for particular album tracks you are interested. Also the program can display and print all data from your music collection in different ways, so you can pick the desired one.

The idea for creating the program was to manage my own music collection and i hope that it would be also useful to any music collector.

Changelog

    Misc:

    when parents are hidden in the edit/write taglists (e.g. in manage tags), there is now a '(n parents)' suffix
    thread watchers that are DEAD or 404 but still have files downloading now report 'working' status until that is done
    search terms with ';' like 'steins;gate' should now work in downloaders. sorry for the trouble!
    fixed an issue where un-ideal tags were sometimes becoming non-searchable when they were entirely replaced in manage tags with their 'ideal' siblings (i.e. their autocomplete count went to 0). this was due to overzealous deletion in the new tag definitions cache not filtering out sibling/parent chain members. a small routine will run on update to resynchronise affected tags
    fixed an issue when loading up files in the main 'import files' dialog where a critical error (as opposed to a nice 'couldn't figure it out, sorry') in mime detection would cause the whole job to hang
    that main 'import files' dialog now counts 'missing' files separately in the error count
    fixed tags not updating on the filename tagging dialog when double-clicking to remove from the simple taglists
    fixed the sort on the manage tags dialog's suggestion taglists--they now preserve their original sort, rather than alphabetising once sibling/parent data is populated
    the manage parser test panel now catches all network errors. error data back from the server is presented better, and the traceback is now viewable in a special new button on the network job control
    the edit shortcut set dialog now gives a veto text popup if you try to ok with a shortcut set twice (previously, it would ok and merge down to one command randomly). support for multiple commands per shortcut will come in future
    entering alt+number in the shortcut entry dialog on windows will no longer spam some errors about 'null character'
    fixed a 'this object is too huge' check in the database, which mostly affects gui sessions with millions of objects, to check against 1 billion bytes max size rather than 1GB, as here https://sqlite.org/limits.html (issue #816)
    fixed the 8chan.moe parser, which was pulling hash incorrectly. it should now save more bandwidth
    updated the e621 parser to pull their (new?) 'lore' tags, which all end in _(lore) and refer to canonical gender and some spice. they come with the 'lore' namespace for now, we'll see how it works out. a user reports these are useful for blacklists

    New string processing sort step (for advanced users):

    string processing objects have a new processing step: String Sorter
    this sorter can sort the whole list of strings, either strict lexicographic or 'human sort' that does numbers properly, asc/desc
    it can also take a regex for the sort 'key', so you can sample just the number or name you want for sort purposes
    content parsers no longer have the 'sort formulae results' controls. any content parser with existing sort has been converted so its string processing object has a String Sort step appended
    the string processing UI is still built around single string processing, so the test UI here is essentially non-functional, but you can see the sort happen in the formula test parse panel
    I will add a String Slicer in future to sample the list of strings, so you'll be able to grab the top item etc...

    Boring code cleanup:

    refactored the refresh call in filename tagging dialog to nicer Qt signals
    the add/remove taglists on the simple panel are also moved to Qt signals
    and so are 'filter' taglists
    fixed some typos in new help text
    removed a 'needs restart' string in 'gui pages' options that no longer does

[close]

[SiLæncer]

Changelog

    Tag sorting:

    the tag sort dropdown has been replaced with a dynamic control. rather than one big list with all possible permutations, you now work on each variable (sort type, asc/desc, group by) separately. what you are actually sorting is easier to understand and select
    my stupid "lexicographic/incidence" labelling is replaced with the simpler and neater 'tag', 'subtag', and 'count'
    when in the manage tags dialog and sorting by tag or subtag, you can now turn off the 'use sibling' sort.
    I'd like to further neaten the workflow here, making the individual dropdowns flip back and forth with a mouse scroll in either directior rather than being just up/down allowed. let me know overall how you find this new control
    the 'tag sort' object is updated behind the scenes as well. your old value should be converted automatically
    fixed an issue with count tag sorting where deleted tag counts were being counted even when not displayed
    if you try to search tags on a page of thumbnails that holds an invalid tag, this is now caught gracefully and you get a little popup saying 'please run the repair invalid tags routine'

    Misc:

    the client now gives a once-per-boot warning popup if your session size exceeds 500k. for those who cannot reduce session size conveniently, this popup can be turned off under options->gui pages
    when the file import options prohibit a file due to filesize or resolution etc.., it should now always record that as an 'ignored' result rather than an 'error'
    fixed an unusual error popup in thread watcher display that could occur during session load. this problem seems to have been around for a long time, but it required a watcher in a previously saved and still valid 'wait a bit' error state and was only vulnerable for a few milliseconds, so it hadn't come up before. in any case, it is fixed
    subscriptions with small 'first run' file limits now work better: if you create a subscription with a fairly small 'first run' file limit (this typically matters when the number is smaller than one of the site's gallery page's worth of results), subsequent normal checks with larger file limits will be more aggressive about noticing that they 'caught up' to that small initial sync (previously, they would sometimes incorrectly think the site just got some files tagged out of order and bump right past that initial 'already in db' batch and keep going until they hit their own file limit)

    Advanced string processing:

    added a String Selector/Slicer object to the parsing system. this object allows you to select the nth item in a list of parsed strings or the mth to nth items. m can be 'start' and n can be 'end', and negative indices are allowed for both. pair it with the new Sorter for some neat new tricks!
    the string processing edit UI is now more multi-string-aware. the test panel has had a code cleanup pass and now has a list of all the starting strings in the test data (e.g. all the urls parsed by the formula that launched the UI) rather than just the first, and a list of all results from that list. selecting any of the starting strings populates the 'single string' area, so you can now zoom in on one particular string to see what is happening to it
    the String Sorter edit UI now gets all the strings at that stage of processing, so you can review the sort properly
    the new String Slicer edit UI similarly gets all the strings at that stage of processing
    future updates will expand multi-string presentation and testing. I'd like to show the whole list at each stage

    Server/client api core improvements:

    I had a go at supporting the Range header for file (basically this means anything non-html/json) requests. I added tests and it seems to work. as I understand this mostly applies to browsers pulling video from the Client API. to start, I am supporting single range requests. if it is needed, I'll try to get Multi Range requests right, but for now they'll 416
    the client now understands 416 ("can't do that requested range m8") errors
    I reworked the serverside error handling chain. this has been borked for a long time due to my own lack of understanding of twisted's deferred system, and certain late-stage errors were just not being handled right. the server should no longer hang on these and now should print error info correctly, including a rough 500 in true late emergencies, and terminate the connection correctly

    Boring:

    fixed up a handful of typo-borked unit tests
    fixed my ordinal (xst, xnd, xrd, xth) text generator to deal with 11, 12, and 13 correctly lmao
    started some db maintenance routines and logistics to recover definitions and remove orphans in future, I feel great about it so far, but it'll have to wait for more of my db 'modules' refactoring to be more useful
    updated the mpv dll on the Windows release to 2021-02-28, it may improve some video support/performance
    updated sqlite dll on the Windows release to 3.34.1

EMDB is a small utility to keep track of your DVD collection. With an automatic import from the database of IMDB, export to csv, text or complete website, thumbnail cover preview, a loan tracker, search function and multi-language user interface. EMDB is written in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and doesn't need a .NET framework or any other external libraries.

Freeware

Changelog

    Scrapers: You can now configure EMDB to use IMDb or TheMovieDb as main data source.
    Both have advantages and disadvantages.
    TheMovieDb has localized plot outlines, artwork and trailers and holds more (obscure) movies and better cast photos, even for non-American actors / actresses.
    IMDb combines movies and TV Series in searches, has more data for movies, more genres, IMDb top 250 and lists more certifications for different countries.
    But the main advantage of TheMovieDb is that it is FAST: it has an API to get the data instead of having to load webpages in the background and scrape the data.
    The API is WAY faster and more robust. Therefore I decided to make TheMovieDb the default scaper but you can switch back to IMDb if you want.
    Add from Hard disk: Only TV Shows or Movies are now listed for multiple search results depending an type being added.
    EAN UPC lookup: If the title returned by the EAN UPC Service doesn't return a match on IMDb / TMDb the full returned text is now set as title.
    Database: Updating a TV Series resetted the Seasons to Season 1.
    Database: Setting "SEEN" when playing a Media file from EMDB is now optional.
    MediaInfo: Fixed detection for VC-1 Video codec.
    User interface: IMDb Top 250 position of a movie is obscured by the movie poster for movies in the 100+ positions.
    User Interface: Added Container as column to display, print or export.
    Add from Hard disk: Improved determining the folder of a TV Series when scanning adding TV Series from nested folders.
    User interface: Create a Playlist when selecting multiple movies and play them.
    Add from Hard disk: NFO files: added TMDb id when creating NFO files and better follow the Kodi nfo specs.
    Add from Hard disk: NFO files: use TMDb id from NFO file when scraper is set to TheMovieDb.
    User interface: Added more clear warning when media file(s) are going to be deleted when deleting one or more entries in the database.
    User interface: Improve position IMDb and User ratings in the Movie Details Panel.
    Media Files: Fixed detecting wrong external drive mounted.
    Media Files: Fixed Batch Update on Media Labels.
    HTML Export: fixed an issue when a removed template was previously selected.
    HTML Export: updated default template. Also the internal structure is updated. More parts are now templated. Existing custom HTML templates are kept working but should be updated.
    Database: Added 5 custom Version fields.
    Translations: Added translations for (most common) Countries retrieved from IMDb and TheMovieDb.
    Translations: Added some more untranslated texts and improved some English translations.
    Translations: Updated the Slovenian, Portuguese, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Dutch translations.

Changelog

    Misc:

    thanks to the effort of a user, this week reintroduces a native twitter downloader! it now gets video! (and 'gifs', which on twitter are just mp4s) please experiment with it and move your nitter subs back to this as you find success. it is called 'twitter syndication' and uses a different access method to get tweet info. it should get the highest resolution videos and images. the search has limited lookup distance, perhaps 500 tweets, but should work for most subscription purposes. this is a first version and may have future updates
    on the main gui, middle-clicking and left-double-clicking to open the 'new page' dialog, and right-clicking to open the page menu, should now only work on the page tabs or page greyspace. middle-clicking on some random downloader page greyspace should no longer spawn these commands. also, tiny change--middle-clicking now activates here on click release rather than press
    on the file sort widget, the asc/desc sort dropdown is now a 'scrollable' menu button. since sorts are just one of two values, you can now scroll either direction to flip it
    the 'collect/leave unmatched' in the collect control is also now a scrollable menu button
    the new tag sort dropdowns are now all scrollable menu buttons. go ham with them
    middle-clicking the collect-by dropdown now clears it
    namespace file sort now supports a-z and z-a sorting. files with none of the matching namespaces still count as 'less than a' in a-z terms, but since I am updating all this code, perhaps this could get more attention. I don't use this much, so if you do, let me know what you would like
    network job controls now show their jobs' current bandwidth limits on their cog menu, split up by network context. you can edit the bandwidth rules directly from this menu, and if it is using defaults, set a specific ruleset
    userpath generation routines used for database location fallback and default export directory determination now recover from failure in the case of undefined user directory. the client will now not boot if the userpath is needed but undefined
    the client api no longer prints empty lists for any tag statuses on file metadata calls, nor service entries that have no tags at all
    fixed the new subscription 'caught up to small initial sync' calculation, which last week was only firing properly after one page of results
    subscriptions are now better about saving interesting status notes on their gallery logs, rather than overwriting with boring 'no new urls found' messages
    fixed a typo bug in the new range header implementation for unended ranges

    Boring cleanup:

    refactored ClientGUICommon and ClientGUIControls to a new 'widgets' module
    refactored the menu buttons from ClientGUICommon to a new ClientGUIMenuButtons
    wrote a mixin for the basic menu button behaviour and simplified the classes
    wrote a new 'choice' menu button that has a dropdown checkbox menu and allows mouse scrolling to navigate the list, with wrapping at boundaries
    refactored the updated network job control to its own file ClientGUINetworkJobControl

    misc tag logic cleanup
