Changelog

    Misc:

    Fixed the stupid taglist scrolled-click position problem--sorry! I have a new specific weekly test for this, so it shouldn't happen again (issue #1120)
    I made it so middle-clicking on a tag list does a select event again
    The duplicate action options now let you say to archive both files regardless of their current archive status (issue #472)
    The duplicate filter is now hooked into the media prefetch system. as soon as 'A' is displayed, the 'B' file will now be queued to be loaded, so with luck you will see very little flicker on the first transition from A->B.
    I updated the duplicate filter's queue to store more information and added the next pair to the new prefetch queue, so when you action a pair, the A of the next pair should also load up quickly
    Boosted the default sizes of the thumbnail and image caches up to 32MB and 384MB (from 25/150) and gave them nicer 'bytes quantity' widgets in the options panel
    When popup windows show network jobs, they now have delayed hide. with luck, this will make subscriptions more stable in height, less flickering as jobs are loaded and unloaded
    Reduced the extremes of the new auto-throttled pending upload. it will now change speed slower, on less strict of a schedule, and won't go as fast or slow max
    The text colour of hyperlinks across the program, most significantly in the top-right media hover window, can now be customised in QSS. I have set some ok defaults for all the QSS styles that come with the client, if you have a custom QSS, check out my default to see what you need to do. also hyperlinks are no longer underlined and you can't 'select' their text with the mouse any more (this was a weird rich-text flag)
    The client api and local booru now have a checkbox in their manage services panel for 'normie-friendly welcome page', which switches the default ascii art for an alternate
    Fixed an issue with the hydrus server not explicitly saying it is utf-8 when rendering html
    May have fixed some issues with autocomplete dropdowns getting hung up in the wrong position and not fixing themselves until parent resize event or similar

    Code cleanup:

    About 80KB of code moved out of the main ClientDB.py file:

    Refactored all combined files display mappings cache code from the code database to a new database module
    Refactored all combined files storage mappings cache code from the code database to a new database module
    Refactored all specific storage mappings cache code from the code database to a new database module
    More misc refactoring of tag count estimate, tag search, and other code down to modules
    Hooked up specific display mappings cache to the repair system correctly--it had been left unregistered by accident
    Some misc duplicate action options code cleanup
    Migrated some ancient pause states--repository, subscriptions, import&export folders--to the newer options structure
    Migrated the image and thumbnail cache sizes to the newer options structure
    Removed some ancient db and dialog code from the retired dumper system

Changelog

    Multiple local file services:

    The multiple local file services feature is ready for advanced users to test out! it lets you have more than one 'my files' service to store things, which will give us some neat privacy and management tools in future. there is no nice help for this feature yet, and the UI is still a little non-user-friendly, so please do not try it out unless you have been following it. and, while this has worked great in all testing, I generally do not recommend it for heavy use on a real client either, just in case something does go wrong. with those caveats, hit up manage services in advanced mode, and you can now add new 'local file domain' services. it is possible to search, import to, and migrate files between these and everything basically works. I need to do more UI work to make it clear what is going on (for instance, I think we'll figure out custom icons or similar to show where files are), and some more search tech, and write up proper help, and figure out easy client merging so users can combine legacy clients, but please feel free to experiment wildly on a fresh client or carefully on your existing one
    If you have more than one local file service, a new 'files' or 'local services' menu on thumbnail right-click handles duplicating and moving across local services. these actions will preserve original import times (e.g. if you move from A to B and then back to A), so they should be generally non-destructive, but we may want to add some advanced tools in future. let me know how this part goes--I think we'll probably want a different status than 'deleted from A' when you just move A->B, so as not to interfere with some advanced queries, but only IRL testing will show it
    If you have a 'file import options' that imports files to multiple local services but the file import is 'already in db', the file import job will now examine if and where the file is still needed and send content update calls to fill in the gaps
    The advanced delete files dialog now gives a new 'delete from all and send to trash' option if the file is in multiple local file domains
    The advanced delete files dialog now fully supports file repositories
    Cleaned up some logic on the 'remember action' option of the advanced file deletion dialog. it also supports remembering specific file domains, not just the clever commands like 'delete and leave no record'. also this dialog no longer places the 'suggested' file service at the top of the radio button list--instead it selects that 'suggested' if there is no 'remember action' initial selection applicable. the suggested file service is now also set by the underlying thumbnail grid or media canvas if it has a simple one-service location context
    The normal 'non-advanced' delete files dialog now supports files that are in multiple local file services. it will show a part of the advanced dialog to let you choose where to delete from

    Misc:

    Thanks to user submissions, there is a bit more help docs work--for file search, and for some neat new 'mermaid' svg diagrams in siblings/parents, which are automatically generated from a markup and easy to edit
    With the new easy-to-edit mermaid diagrams, I updated the unhelpful and honestly cringe examples in the siblings and parents help to reflect real world PTR data and brushed up all the text in the top sections
    Just a small thing--the 'pages' menu and the page picker dialog now both say 'file search' to refer to a page that searches files. previously, 'search' or 'files' was used in different places
    Completely rewrote the queue code behind the duplicate filter. an ancient bad idea is now replaced with something that will be easier to work with in future
    You can now go 'back' in the duplicate filter even when you have only done skips so far
    The 'index string' of duplicate filters, where it says 53/100, now also says the number of decisions made
    Fixed some small edge case bugs in duplicate filter forward/backward move logic, and fixed the recent problem with going back after certain decisions
    Updated the default nijie.info parser to grab video (issue #1113)
    Added in a user fix to the deviant art parser
    Added user-made Mega URL Classes. hydrus won't support Mega for a long while, but it can recognise and categorise these URLs now, presenting them in the media viewer if you want to open them externally
    Fixed Exif image rotation for images that also have ICC Profiles. thanks to the user who provided great test images here (issue #1124)
    Hitting F5 or otherwise saying 'refresh' explicitly will now turn a search page that is currently in 'searching paused' to 'searching immediately'. previously it silently did nothing
    The 'current file info' in the media window's top hover and the status bar of the main window now ignores Deletion reason, and also file modified date if it is not substantially different from another timestamp already stated. this data can still be seen on the file's right-click menu's expanded info lines off the top entry. also, as a small cleanup, it now says 'modified' and 'archived' instead of 'file modified/archived', just to save some more space
    Like the above 'show if interesting' check for modified date, that list of file info texts now includes the actual import time if it is different than other timestamps. (for instance, if you migrate it from one service to another some time after import)
    Fixed a sort error notification in the edit parser dialog when you have two duplicate subsidiary parsers that both have vetoes
    Fixed the new media viewer note display for PyQt5
    Fixed a rare frame-duration-lookup problem when loading certain gifs into the media viewer

    Boring code cleanup:

    Cleaned up search signalling UI code, a couple of minor bugs with 'searching immediately' sometimes not saving right should be fixed
    The 'repository updates' domain now has a different service type. it is now a 'local update file domain' rather than a 'local file domain', which is just an enum change but marks it as different to the regular media domains. some code is cleaned up as a result
    Renamed the terms in some old media filtering code to make it more compatible with multiple local file services
    Brushed up some delete code to handle multiple local file services better
    Cleaned up more behind the scenes of the delete files dialog
    Refactored ClientGUIApplicationCommand to the widgets module
    Wrote a new ApplicationCommandProcessor Mixin class for all UI elements that process commands. it is now used across the program and will grow in responsibility in future to unify some things here
    The media viewer hover windows now send their application commands through Qt signals rather than the old pubsub system
    In a bunch of places across the program, renamed 'remote' to 'not local' in file status contexts--this tends to make more sense to people at out the gate
    Misc little syntax cleanup

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:

    Fixed the simple delete files dialog for trashed files. due to a logical oversight, the simple version was not testing 'trashed' status and so didn't see anything to permanently delete and would immediately dump out. now it shows the option for trashed files again, and if the selection includes trash and non-trash, it shows multiple options
    Fixed an error in the 'show next pair' logic of the new duplicate filter queue where if it needed to auto-skip through the end of the current batch and load up the next batch (issues #1139, #1143)
    A new setting on options->media now lets you set the scanbar to be small and simple instead of hidden when the mouse is moved away. I liked this so much personally it is now the default for all users. try it out!
    The media viewer's taglist hover window will now never send a mouse wheel event up to the media viewer canvas (so scrolling the tags won't accidentally do previous/next if you hit the end of the list scrollbar)
    I think I have fixed the bug where going on the media viewer from borderless fullscreen to a regular window would not trigger a media container resize if the media perfectly fitted the ratio of the fullscreen monitor!
    The system tray icon now has minimise/restore entries
    To reduce confusion, when a content parser vetoes, it now prepends the file import 'note' with 'veto: '
    The 'clear service info cache' job under database->regenerate is renamed to 'service info numbers' and now has a service selector so you can, let's say, regen your miscounted 'number of files in trash' count without triggering a complete recount of every single mapping on the PTR the next time you open review services
    Hydrus now recognises most (and maybe all) windows executables so it can discard them from imports confidently. a user discovered an interesting exe with embedded audio that ffmpeg was seeing as an mp3--this no longer occurs
    The 'edit string conversion step' dialog now saves a new default (which is used on 'add' events) every time you ok it. 'append extra text' is no longer the universal default!
    The 'edit tag rule' dialog in the parsing system now starts with the tag name field focused
    Updated 'getting started/installing' help to talk more about mpv on Linux. the 'libgmodule' problem seems to have a solid fix now, which is properly written out there. thanks to the users who figured all this out and provided feedback

    Multiple local file services:

    The media viewer menu now offers add/move actions just like the thumb grid
    Added a new shortcut action that lets you specify add/move jobs. it is available in the media shortcut set and will work in the thumbnail grid and the media viewer
    Add/move is now nicer in edge cases. files are filtered better to ensure only local media files end up in a job (e.g. if you were to try to move files out of the repository update domain using a shortcut), and 'add' commands from trashed files are naturally and silently converted to a pure undelete

    Boring code cleanup:

    Refactored the UI side of multiple local file services add/move commands. various functions to select, filter, and question the user on actions are now pulled to a separate simple module where other parts of the UI can also access them, and there is now just one isolated pipeline for file service add/move content updates.
    If a 'move' job is started without a source service and multiple services could apply, the main routine will now ask the user which to use using a selector that shows how many files each choice will affect
    Also rewrote the add/move menu population code, fixed a couple little issues, and refactored it to a module the media viewer canvas can use
    Wrote a new menu builder that can place a list of items either as a single item (if the list is length 1), or make a submenu if there are more. it drives the new add/move commands and now the behind the scenes of all other service-based menu population

Changelog

    multiple local file services:

    multiple local file services are now available for everyone! you no longer need to be in advanced mode to create them. all are welcome, but in terms of skill level, I most recommend it for users who are comfortable with tag siblings and parents
    the tl;dr: you can now have more than one 'my files', which lets you put things in isolated locations
    I wrote a proper help document on multiple local file services--what they are, how they work, my recommendations, and a bit of extra info about hydrus file search in general, right here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/advanced_multiple_local_file_services.html
    file searches in 'multiple locations' on large clients are now massively faster in almost all situations. the only place multiple location searches are still slow is whenever the duplicates system (system:file relationships) comes into play

    misc:

    in the page tab menu, you can now sort pages by total file size
    the 'force system:limit for all searches' option is moved from the 'speed and memory' to 'search' panel
    when files download from sites, if the raw file is served by cloudflare and has a timestamp radically different to a parsed source time, that CF timestamp is saved under a different domain rather than overwriting the original domain timestamp. this seemed to affect danbooru on about 1 in 10-20 files. note this does not change much at the moment, but when you can see and sort on individual domain modified dates, this should improve the sort
    updated the 'installing' help to talk about bad install locations for the database. network locations are bad, and thanks to user reports, we now know USB drives can be bad if the database is busy when the OS goes to sleep
    if a 'database is malformed' error occurs on boot, the client now recognises it and points the user to 'install_dir/db/help my db is broke.txt' for the next steps

    boring code cleanup:

    another 60KB or so of code pulled out of ClientDB.py:
    created a new database module for url mappings and refactored various fetch and update routines to it
    created a new database module for some rich file metadata and refactored some file filtering, history, and status testing code to it
    created a new database module for file searching and moved all tag-based file searching code to it
    moved several other misc methods down to database modules

Changelog

    This week's release is for advanced users only! I make a big change, and I want to make sure the update is fast and there are no unusual problems before rolling it out to all users.

    All my files:

    The client adds a new virtual file service this week, 'all my files', which is an umbrella covering all your local file domains. if you do not engage the multiple local file services system, you won't see it much, but if you do, you'll now have a convenient tool for saying 'all my stuff' without including trash and repository updates
    It will take a minute or two to generate this new service on update. if you have a client with millions of files, it may take a while
    'all my files' now appears in the file domain selector button on your tag entry box if you have more than one local file domain. selecting this searches the union of all your local file domains with fast and precise count (as opposed to 'multiple locations' of the full union, which will have imprecise counts and be slower). it also does duplicate file work laser-fast (again, unlike 'multiple locations', which is often slow due to UNION complexity)
    'all my files' also appears in review and manage services, very similarly to 'all local files'
    A heap of hacks I instituted when getting multiple local file services ready are now replaced with this clean 'yeah this file is valued and worth looking at' domain. for instance, downloader pages now view files in this way.
    Mr bones and the file history chart also use 'all my files', and are significantly faster to calculate. the chart also excludes repo update files and trash now
    Calls to delete or undelete on 'all my files' (this is mostly Client API and some 'default' situations) will be converted to a blanket 'force send to trash' and 'force undelete all deleted records'
    The 'undelete files?' dialog is now a button selection dialog. it also now has an 'all the above' option when more than one local service may apply, which tells the client to undelete to all services the files have been deleted from
    Updated multiple local file services help to talk a little about the new domain
    Rearranged the sort in a couple of places where the different local file services appear. they should now be: local file domains, all my files, trash, repo updates, all local files
    ADVANCED: the 'presentation import options' under 'file import options' now allows a full-fledged location context using the new multiple local file services system rather than the previous 'in your files(and trash too)' choice. it defaults to the new 'all my files' domain

    Misc:

    Thanks to a user, the 'getting started with downloading' help has had a full pass. if you have had trouble with downloaders, particularly if you are unsure about what file import options are for, or what subscriptions are, please check it out!
    The 'media viewers' shortcut set gets three new zoom actions: 'switch between 100% and max', 'switch between canvas and max', and 'zoom to max' (issue #1141)
    If a media type is set to do 'exact zooms', it will now not exceed the otherwise specified max zoom
    The file sort widget will now preserve ascending/descending status on sort type changes (rather than resetting to default) if the asc/desc strings do not change. so, if you are on 'import time'/'oldest first', and switch to 'archive time', it will now stay on 'oldest' rather than resetting to 'newest'
    The manage tag siblings dialog now tries to automatically break loops for you, just like it will automatically break A->B, A->C conflicts. this works on manual entry or mass import
    The manage tag siblings dialog now shows the stated 'reason' for any pair change (e.g. "AUTO-PETITION TO BREAK LOOP") in the 'note' column
    The 'short' animation scanbar--when your mouse is away--now keeps a short disabled volume button beside it. I found it very annoying how the scan nub would jump a few pixels left/right as this popped up and down, so now it is the same width big and small
    Right-clicking on files when in pages with 'multiple locations' file domains is now much much faster
    The filename tagging dialog now starts with the 'tags for all' focused, and the 'press up/down on empty input' shortcuts are now plugged in, so pressing up/down will change service
    I believe I may have completely eliminated the additional superlag that sometimes occurs when adding or deleting a service. it was a database maintenance routine getting carried away with other outstanding work
    Move/add actions in the new multiple local file system now operate asynchronously and politely, spreading their work time out when the client is busy, and for large jobs they will also make a cancellable progress popup
    Cleaned up how the autocomplete entry sends some of its signals to other parts of the program
    Did some misc help and code edits/refactoring, including brushing up the Windows install section with more advanced options
    Removed the 'hydrus zooms big bad' warning from the 'media' options page. hydrus zooms big good now!

    Some database stuff:

    Tl;dr: database cleans up after itself better now
    Some users have had trouble with database journal files (the 'wal' files in your db directory) on certain clients getting huge after lots of work, multiple GB, and causing the OS a headache if the journal is doing work through a computer sleep. these journals are 'supposed' to checkpoint and clean themselves up naturally, but I think a busy database chokes them. therefore, I have improved the hydrus maintenance this week: 1) the 'journal size limit' PRAGMA, which applies softly after every 30 seconds or so, is now 128MB down from 1GB. 2) databases in PERSIST (rare) mode will now specifically zero out their journal fifteen minutes. 3) databases in WAL mode (the default), in addition to regular PASSIVE checkpointing now every five minutes, will force an additional TRUNCATE checkpoint every fifteen. this should force a regular full flush and maybe help some other problems like gigantic memory bloat the same users sometimes saw. if you are a very advanced user and do active debug on the database while hydrus is using it, please note this new TRUNCATE command is aggressive and may block itself or you inconveniently. let me know how you get on!
    Moved the recent 'be careful of usb drives' section in 'installing' help to 'help my db is broke.txt'. it is very likely this problem was related to the above WAL stuff, and it was not just usb drives, I rewrote it as generalised help for anyone who gets 'delayed write failed' errors at the OS level
    Massively optimised several critical duplicate files filtering methods if the current location context has more than one file domain, and I think I cleared out the basic 'get duplicate info for this file' call of all slow calls in complex location contexts
    The repair routine that regenerates mapping caches if any tables are missing on boot is now more reliable and covers the entirety of the mappings cache system using the new modules system. it also now regenerates just for the tag services with missing tables, not the whole cache
    If multiple types of mapping cache tables are missing on boot, and multiple waves of regenerations covering different areas are planned, duplicate regenerations will now be skipped
