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

Changelog

    Note import options:

    The client now has a system to set default note import options. it works exactly the same as default tag import options and shares the same UI, now named network->downloaders->manage default import options. you now set tag and/or note import options for a particular domain. I don't think you'll have to touch the note defaults until this system is really going and we learn more about what we want. I have made the initial defaults get all notes with some simple conflict resolution that won't discard any data
    All url pages, watchers, watcher pages, gallery queries, gallery downloader pages, and subscriptions now have a note import options. by default, they are 'default'
    The edit subscription dialog now has a button to set note import options en masse
    All the behind the scenes stuff that connects and powers these systems is done. note parsing now works! advanced users, especially downloader makers, are encouraged to play around with this for real. the remaining hurdle is still multiline parsing support
    Notes now have a cleaning system before they are saved. to start with this week, they are now trimmed of leading or trailing whitespace or newlines

    Qt6:

    The media viewer now draws correctly on UI scaled displays. If you are at >100% UI scale, it will now render images beautifully, using all available pixels, and state the correct zoom percentage. you look at a 4k image on a 4k screen, you now see 4k, no matter the UI scale. previously it was rendering at 100% UI scale coordinates and being nearest-neighbour scaled up
    After several sad hours banging my head against font metrics, I finally discovered the magic flag needed and have improved the font quality of the thumbnail banners when you boot the client with only 100% UI scale monitors. should be anti-aliased now, although if you have a semi-transparent banner colour it may look slightly jank for reasons I still need to investigate.
    I fixed the 'don't process the click that activates a media viewer into the shortcuts system' hook for Qt6 (and still working on Qt5). it is a little smarter now, too

    Misc:

    The new import options button is now an arrow-menu button. the secret right-click menu is no longer hidden. I also did some behind the scenes stuff to make it so all these arrow buttons spawn their menus on your cursor when you click, rather than hanging off the bottom-left corner of the button proper
    Rating stars of all shapes are now anti-aliased
    Greatly improved the shape of the 'star' rating star
    Moved the 'checker options' button on watcher highlight panels down a bit. maybe it'll get integrated into other import options one day--I am still thinking about it
    Archive/delete filters will not present 'delete from hard disk' as a final choice if the current domain is 'all local files'. I thought I fixed this a couple weeks ago, but there was a legacy issue
    Fixed some real jank logic when setting the tag domain in autocomplete dropdown widgets. this got messed up a little with recent updates to file and tag domain searching. I reworked the signal path and fixed some weird update bugs and situations where you could seemingly set 'all known files'/'all known tags'

    Boring code cleanup:

    Refactored all zoom code from the media viewer canvas to the media viewer container. the canvas no longer manages zoom numbers or container size
    Refactored all container-position-tracking code from the media viewer canvas to the media viewer container and cleaned it
    Updated the media viewer container to recognise UI scaling and adapt the stated zoom to reflect the raw pixels on screen, not the device independent coordinate system
    Updated the native animation widget to recognise UI scaling, adapt its underlying renderer resolution appropriately, and draw that super-resolution frame to the canvas
    Updated the static image widget to recognise UI scaling, adapt its tile coordinate system and resolution appropriately, and scatter the ethereal powder of the cleansed ancients across the QPainter in order to stitch the arbitrarily zoomed super-resolution tiles together on a sub-pixel canvas with no visible seams
    The animation and static image widgets also recognise changes in the current UI scale--if the current monitor changes or you move across monitors with differing UI scale
    Updated some old pubsub update calls in the canvas code to Qt signals
    Cleaned up some old const definitions in canvas code
    Refactored and simplified some test methods related to the canvas container and media show actions
    Cleaned up some old painter code and hacks to simpler alternatives
    Cleaned a tangle of file/tag domain update code in the autocomplete dropdowns
    Cleaned up some options getting/setting methods in the downloaders

Changelog

    misc:

    I bulked out the 'star' rating shape a bit more, since the new pentragram, while it looked better than my old 'by-eye' star, was a bit thin. if you prefer the pentagram, this is now selectable as a new shape type under manage services
    the Windows installer is now Qt6 exclusively. there are no special update instructions, it should all just work™
    the 'manage tag siblings/parents' dialogs now have explicit delete buttons, which should make mass-deletes a little easier to do. some of the background code is cleaned up too, and the 'add' button is moved up to the main button row
    you can now hide all sibling and/or parent text-suffix 'decorators' in the manage tags and autocomplete dropdown taglists, with four new checkboxes under options->tags. the right-click menus of these lists let you temporarily show/hide too, just like 'hide/show parent rows'
    when you change the namespace sort in the options, the existing collect-by dropdowns now update instantly (previously, existing pages needed a client restart to see any changes)
    I updated how the media viewer 'note' hover window lays out and does its 'how tall should I be?' estimate. it fits better, being exactly just tall enough in more cases, but it still seems to have trouble with multiple notes that include wrapping text
    added a link to the new flatpak release (easy Linux running-from-source setup) that a user made to the install help
    fixed an issue with the new 'default' file import options when you right-click a watcher/gallery download--the 'show files' menu now correctly adapts to you having a default file import options
    if you are set to elide page tab names, then all pages will tooltip their names on mouseover
    new clients now start with (ctrl+page up/down) as 'move page selection left/right'

    client api:

    the Client API routine that fetches file statuses for a given URL no longer double-checks 'already in db' results against your actual file system. this check is more appropriate to an actual working import process, so it now defaults off in the Client API
    if you want to do this check because you are searching for missing files, you can turn it back on with the new 'doublecheck_file_system' parameter.
    the client api help has been updated to reference this
    the client api's Server header is now "client api/32 (497)". NOT "client api/17". it was stating the hydrus network version erroneously. it now states client api version and software version. if you are able to parse this header, it makes '/api_version' request superfluous
    the client api version is now 32

    multiline parsing:

    the parser now supports limited multiline parsing. the main changes are hardcoded: the formulae beneath note content parsers and those that do subsidiary page parser splitting no longer remove newlines when they parse. all the parsing UI and the test panels and so on are now aware of this and set flags in all the right places, and parsed notes are now washed through the new trimming/cleaning method, and everything seems to basically work. the main remaining problems is the complicated string processing UI has mixed single/multi-line testing support. some looks great, most gets coerced to single-line just for the previewed test results
    as an example, the default hentai foundry downloader now grabs the artist description as a multi-line note
    the parsing sub-system that extracts cohesive strings from complex html blocks now inserts newlines at 'p' and 'br' tags

    trying to parse clean multiline notes still caused several formatting issues this week, so I have updated the automatic note-washing routine to standardise hydrus notes in several new ways that I hope will not be too disruptive to manually written notes:

    the note washing routine now coerces all newline characters to 'backslash-n', regardless of platform
    the note washing routine now trims each line, so no leading or trailing whitespace anywhere. I am open to changing this in future, maybe for handwritten notes where you really want an indent somewhere, but parsing from complex nested html tags is making a heap of weird extra whitespace, for which this is a clean solution
    the note washing routine now trims newline gaps that are greater than two-newlines. you can split paragraphs by one empty line, but no more
    there may be other issues figuring out cleanly formatted strings from nested html tags--so give it a go and let me know what you think. maybe p and br blocks should always make two newlines, so we have separated paragraphs, maybe I need to parse more blocks, like h1 and friends. any specific example html blocks would also be helpful

    cleanup:

    refactored ClientGUIParsing to its own 'parsing' module and split everything into four less tangled files
    cleaned up a bunch of taglist text presentation code, mostly simplicity and clarity in prep for future updates
    updated the checker options button to use a Qt signal instead of a callable

Changelog

    Overview:

    The server has important database and network updates this week. if your server has a lot of content, it has to count it all up, so it will take a short while to update. the petition protocol has also changed, so older clients will not be able to fetch new servers' petitions without an error. I think newer clients will be able to fetch older servers' ones, but it may be iffy
    I considered whether I should update the network protocol version number, which would (politely) force all users to update, but as this causes inconvenience every time I do it, and I expect to do more incremental updates here in coming weeks, and since this only affects admins and janitors, I decided to not. we are going to be in awkward flux for a little bit, so please make sure you update privileged clients and servers at roughly the same time

    Server petition workflow:

    The server now maintains an ongoing fast count of its various repository metadata, such as 'number of mappings' and 'number of petitions of type x'. when you fetch petition counts, no longer will it count live and max out at 1,000, it'll give you good full numbers every time, and real fast
    You can see the current numbers from the new 'service info' button on review services, which only appears in advanced mode. any user with an account key can see these numbers, which include number of petitions in the queue. I can make this more private if you like, but for now I think it is good if advanced users can see them all
    In the petition processing page, sibling and parent petitions will now include both delete and add rows if the account and reason are the same. I'm aiming to get better 'full' coverage of a replace petition, so you can see and approve/deny both the add and the remove parts in one go. for fetching, these combined petitions count as 'delete' petitions, and won't appear in the 'add' petition queue
    When users encounter an automatic conflict resolution in the manage siblings dialog, those auto-petitioned pairs are now assigned the same reason as the original conflicting pended pairs. they should show up together in the new petition processing UI
    As part of this, sibling and parent petitions are no longer filtered by namespace. you will see everything with that same account and reason in one go. let's try it out, and if it is too much, I will add filters clientside or something. since we are now starting to see add and remove together, we'll want to at least have the option to see everything

    Boring server stuff:

    The petition object is updated to handle multiple actions per petition, and the clientside petition UI is updated appropriately
    The server tracks 'actionable' petition counts as separate to the number of raw petition rows. some of this was happening before, but the logic is improved, including clever counting of the new petitions that include both add and delete rows
    For when my count-update logic inevitably fails, there is now a 'regen service info' entry in the 'administrate services' menu for all repositories. numbers generated will be printed to server log
    Some unusual repo upload logic is cleaned up, e.g. if a user with 'create permission' uploads a sibling or parent, any pending rows for that content will now be properly cleared)
    Fixed a stupid swap logical bug where janitors who could only moderate siblings (and not parents) were only being given parent numbers and vice versa
    All server services now respond to /busy check. it requires no authentication and just returns 1 or 0 depending on the current lock state
    Fixed a bug where tag siblings or parents that were denied would still make a new definition record for the child/bad tag
    With all the fine number changes, fleshed out the server unit tests with more examples of submitting and altering content and then checking for numbers afterwards. now checked are: file add, file admin delete, mapping add, mapping admin delete, mapping petition, mapping petition approve+deny, parent add, parent admin delete, parent pend, parent pend approve+deny, parent petition, parent petition approve+deny
    Significant refactoring of the tail end of server content update pipeline. more things now go through logic-harmonised update methods that ensure count is reliable
    Did some misc server db and constant enum code cleanup

    Misc:

    To match the new change in the server, in the client, tag and rating services now store their 'num_files' service info count as the new 'num_file_hashes'. existing numbers will be converted over during update
    Fixed a probably ten year old bug where 'num pending/petitioned files' had the same enum as 'num pending/petitioned mappings'. never noticed, since no service has done both those things
    If the upload pending process fails due to an unusual permission error or similar, the pending menu should now recover and update itself (previously it stayed greyed out)

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

    Mpv:

    Dated the mpv version for Windows. this is more complicated than it sounds and has been fraught with difficulty at times, so I do not try it often, but the situation seems to be much better now. today we are updating about twelve months. I may be imagining it, but things seem a bit smoother. a variety of weird file support should be better--an old transparent apng that I know crashed older mpv no longer causes a crash--and there's some acceleration now for very new CPU chipsets. I've also insisted on precise seeking (rather than keyframe seeking, which some users may have defaulted to). mpv-1.dll is now mpv-2.dll
    I don't have an easy Linux testbed any more, so I would be interested in a Linux 'running from source' user trying out a similar update and letting me know how it goes. try getting the latest libmpv1 and then update python-mpv to 1.0.1 on pip. your 'mpv api version' in help->about should now be 2.0. this new python-mpv seems to have several compatibility improvements, which is what has plagued us before here
    Mpv on macOS is still a frustrating question mark, but if this works on Linux, it may open another door. who knows, maybe the new version doesn't crash instantly on load

    Search change for potential duplicates:

    This is subtle and complicated, so if you are a casual user of duplicates, don't worry about it. duplicates page = better now
    For those who are more invested in dupes, I have altered the main potential duplicate search query. when the filter prepares some potential dupes to compare, or you load up some random thumbs in the page, or simply when the duplicates processing page presents counts, this all now only tests kings. previously, it could compare any member of a duplicate group to any other, and it would nominate kings as group representatives, but this lead to some odd situations where if you said 'must be pixel dupes', you could get two low quality pixel dupes offering their better king(s) up for actual comparison, giving you a comparison that was not a pixel dupe. same for the general searching of potentials, where if you search for 'bad quality', any bad quality file you set as a dupe but didn't delete could get matched (including in 'both match' mode), and offer a 'nicer' king as tribute that didn't have the tag. now, it only searches kings. kings match searches, and it is those kings that must match pixel dupe rules. this also means that kings will always be available on the current file domain, and no fallback king-nomination-from-filtered-members routine is needed any more
    The knock-on effect here is minimal, but in general all database work in the duplicate filter should be a little faster, and some of your numbers may be a few counts smaller, typically after discounting weird edge case split-up duplicate groups that aren't real/common enough to really worry about. if you use a waterfall of multiple local file services to process your files, you might see significantly smaller counts due to kings not always being in the same file domain as their bad members, so you may want to try 'all my files' or just see how it goes--might be far less confusing, now you are only given unambiguous kings. anyway, in general, I think no big differences here for most users except better precision in searching!
    But let me know how you get on IRL!

    Misc:

    Thank's to a user's hard work, the default twitter downloader gets some upgrades this week: you can now download from twitter lists, a twitter user's likes, and twitter collections (which are curated lists of tweets). the downloaders still get a lot of 'ignored' results for text-only tweets, but this adds some neat tools to the toolbox
    Thanks to a user, the Client API now reports brief caching information and should boost Hydrus Companion performance (issue #605)
    The simple shortcut list in the edit shortcut action dialog now no longer shows any duplicates (such as 'close media viewer' in the dupes window)
    Added a new default reason for tag petitions, 'clearing mass-pasted junk'. 'not applicable' is now 'not applicable/incorrect'
    In the petition processing page, the content boxes now specifically say ADD or DELETE to reinforce what you are doing and to differentiate the two boxes when you have a pixel petition
    In the petition processing page, the content boxes now grow and shrink in height, up to a max of 20 rows, depending on how much stuff is in them. I think I have pixel perfect heights here, so let me know if yours are wrong!
    The 'service info' rows in review services are now presented in nicer order
    Updated the header/title formatting across the help documentation. when you search for a page title, it should now show up in results (e.g. you type 'running from source', you get that nicely at the top, not a confusing sub-header of that article). the section links are also all now capitalised
    Misc refactoring

    Bunch of fixes:

    Fixed a weird and possible crash-inducing scrolling bug in the tag list some users had in Qt6
    Fixed a typo error in file lookup scripts from when I added multi-line support to the parsing system (issue #1221)
    Fixed some bad labels in 'speed and memory' that talked about 'MB' when the widget allowed setting different units. also, I updated the 'video buffer' option on that page to a full 'bytes value' widget too (issue #1223)
    The 'bytes value' widget, where you can set '100 MB' and similar, now gives the 'unit' dropdown a little more minimum width. it was getting a little thin on some styles and not showing the full text in the dropdown menu (issue #1222)
    Fixed a bug in similar-shape-search-tree-rebalancing maintenance in the rare case that the queue of branches in need of regeneration become out of sync with the main tree (issue #1219)
    Fixed a bug in archive/delete filter where clicks that were making actions would start borked drag-and-drop panning states if you dragged before releasing the click. it would cause warped media movement if you then clicked on hover window greyspace
    Fixed the 'this was a cloudflare problem' scanner for the new 1.2.64 version of cloudscraper
    Updated the popupmanager's positioning update code to use a nicer event filter and gave its position calculation code a quick pass. it might fix some popup toaster position bugs, not sure
    Fixed a weird menu creation bug involving a QStandardItem appearing in the menu actions
    Fixed a similar weird QStandardItem bug in the media viewer canvas code
    Fixed an error that could appear on force-emptied pages that receive sort signals
