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.

    Notes:

    Duplicate metadata merge options now supports note merging. you can copy from worse to better or in both directions, with a couple extra conflict-resolution options that are a subset of note import options and have reasonable defaults.
    The default note merge options are to go from worse to better for 'set as better' and both directions for 'they are the same', renaming notes on conflicts. your existing duplicate metadata merge options will receive these settings on update, so if you don't want this, update your settings from the duplicate filter page
    The manage notes dialog gets copy and paste buttons. these will copy all the current notes and paste them to another instance of the panel, using the default (extend if possible, otherwise rename) conflict resolution rules
    If an automatic system like a parser gives a note text that already exists on the file, the Note Import Options now discards it in all cases, no matter the names involved. no more automatic dupes!
    ADVANCED: note import options (and related note add/merge operations that use it) now scan all prefix-matching note names for 'new note is already in file' and 'new note is an extension of a note already in file' tests. this improves a former fix to the 'successive parses of two sites with the same note name but different note text cause one of them to be dupe-added as (2), (3), (4), renames etc...' bug. the initial (1) rename will be scanned and recognised as 'already in file' and ignored or now extended as the settings say, just as if the desired name were hit. thanks to the reports here--I missed the logic the first time around
    It would be nice to have 'manage notes' for multiple files at once--this is still a future goal

    Notes client api:

    The /add_notes/set_notes now takes some new parameters if you want to apply the adapted Note Import Options merge logic rather than figure out renames and extensions yourself
    /add_notes/set_notes now returns the changes it made, which in the new mode may not be exactly what you instructed
    Added unit tests and help to reflect the above
    Client api version is now 38

    Misc:

    I fixed up how shift/ctrl/drag selection works on taglists. like with the recent thumbnail selection update, you can now 'undo' a shift-select with subsequent clicks or 'drag undo', and the list remembers what was selected beforehand. ctrl-shift-select is also a more reliable 'deselect range'. both mouse drag selection and ctrl-drag selection use this logic, have fewer index bugs, and the ctrl-drag now chooses at the start whether this drag will be selection or deselection based on your initial click that started the drag. have a play with it--overall it just feels better now
    The 'file log' menu now shows a 'reverse' command, which reverses all the imports in the log. if you want to import from oldest to newest with a typical booru, just start your downloader with file imports paused (check the cog icon), and then allow the gallery search to fully populate the list as normaly. once done, hit this new reverse and then unpause the files, and you should be good
    Any image files or thumbnails that are completely transparent and have a non-completely-black image now have their alpha channel stripped, just like files that are completely opaque. I believe the instances where this is a mistake outweigh the instances where it is legit, but let me know how we get on--maybe there are some weird mid-gif thumbs or something where this misfires. in the same thing, I reverted the 'psd thumbnails now have no transparency' change from last week. the issue where ffmpeg was sometimes being confused about psd layer masks from earlier should be fixed while letting legit transparency work correctly. the ultimate fix here will be to roll imagemagick into the program, which I am now planning and will start 'running from source' experiments with soon
    The three 'additional fixed time...' settings in options->downloading now have a max value of 3600, for extreme situation testing

    Boring code cleanup:

    Updated my serialisabledict/list objects again--they can now handle bytes objects in any position. I will slowly migrate my existing hardcoded bytes serialisation and the old serialisablebytesdict to these freshly flexible classes
    For clarity, across the code, renamed 'duplicate action options' to 'duplicate content merge options'
    Refactored duplicate content merge options initialisation, clearing the stuffed init and totuple to nicer get/set
    Broke apart how NoteImportOptions does its main note filtering for easier low-level access
    Cleaned a ton of note import options code up. the logic here was not great, now it is a bit tidier
    Undid whatever nonsense I was doing with taglist ctrl-drag-selection and cleaned up the main click and drag event handling along with its index calculation and 'what was clicked last time' record
    Fixed numerous weird logical/position index issues with the taglist and clicking/dragging

Whats new:>>

I updated something in v510 that spilled over to the network. As the server updates, either new clients get upset or old ones do. This patch restores old behaviour, allowing both old and new clients to talk to the server.

https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/

Changelog

    Thumbnail UI scaling:

    Thumbnails can finally look good at high UI scales! a new setting in options->thumbnails, 'Thumbnail UI scale supersampling %', lets you tell hydrus to generate thumbnails at a particular UI scale. match it to your monitor, and your thumbnails should regenerate to look crisp
    some users have complicated multi-monitor setups, or they change their UI scale regularly, so I'm not auto-setting this yet. let me know how it goes
    sadly <100% for super-crunchy-mode doesn't work

    Unnamespaced search tags:

    I am not really happy with this solution, since it doesn't neatly restore the old behaviour, but it does make things easier in the new system and I've fixed a related bug
    a new option in services->manage tag display and search, 'Unnamespaced input gives (any namespace) wildcard results', now lets you quickly search *:sam* by typing sam
    fixed an issue where an autocomplete input with a total wildcard namespace, like *:sam was not matching to unnamespaced tags when preparing the list of tag results
    wildcards with * namespace now have a special (any namespace) suffix, and they show with unnamespaced namespace colour

    Misc:

    fixed the client-server communication problem related to last week's SerialisableDictionary update. I messed up and forgot this object is used in network comms, which meant >=v510 clients couldn't talk to a <=509 server and vice versa version swaps. now the server always kicks out an old SerialisableDictionary serialisation. I plan to remove the patch in 26 weeks, giving us more buffer time for users to update naturally
    The recent option to turn off mouse-scroll-changes-menu-button-value is improved--now the wheel event is correctly passed up to the parent panel, so you'll scroll right through one of these buttons, not halt on it. the file sort control now also obeys this option
    If you try to zoom a media in so that its virtual size would be >32,000px on a side, the canvas now zooms to 32k exactly. this is the max allowed zoom for technical reasons atm (I'll fix it in a future rewrite). this also fixes the 'zoom max' command, which previously would make no action if the max zoom created a virtual canvas bigger than this. also, 'zoom max' is now shown on the media viewer right-click menu
    The 'max zoom' dimension for mpv windows and my native animation window is now 8k. seems like there are smaller technical limits for mpv, and my animation window isn't tiled, so this is to be extra safe for now
    Fixed a bug where it was possible to send the 'undelete file' signal to a file that was physically deleted (and therefore viewed in a special 'deleted files' domain). the file would obediently return to its original local file service and then throw 'missing file' warnings when the thumb tried to show. now these files are discarded from undelete consideration
    If you are looking at physically deleted files, the thumbnail view now provides a 'clear deletion record' menu action! this is the same command as the button in services->review services->all local files, but just on the selection
    Fixed several taglists across the program that were displaying tags in the wrong display context and/or not sorting correctly. this mostly went wrong by setting sorted storage taglists (which normally show sibling/parent flare) as unsorted display taglists
    File lookup script tag suggestions (as fetched from some external source) are now set to be sorted

    File import options pre-import checking:

    This stuff is advanced users only. normal users can rest assured that the way the client skips downloads for 'already in db/previously deleted' files now has fewer false negatives and false positives
    The awkwardly named advanced 'do not check url/hash to see if file already in db/previously deleted' checkboxes in file import options have been overhauled. now they are phrased in the positive ("check x to determine aid/pd?") and offer 'do not check', 'check', and the new 'check - and matches are dispositive'. the tooltip has been updated to talk about what they do. 'dispositive' basically means 'if this one hits, trust it over the other', and by default the 'hash' check remains dispositive over the URLs (this was previously hardcoded, now you can choose urls to rule in some cases).
    There is also a new checkbox to optionally disable a component of the url checking that looks at neighbouring urls on the same file to determine url-mapping trustworthiness. this will solve or help explore some weird multi-url-mapping situations
    Also, novel SHA256 hashes no longer count as 'matches', just like a novel MD5 hash would not. this helps keep useful dispositive behaviour for known hashes but also automatically defers to urls when a site is being CDN-optimised and transfer hashes are different to api-reported ones. this fixes some watchers that have been using excess bandwidth on repeated downloads
    Fixed several problems with the url-lookup logic, particularly with the method that checks for 'file-neighbour' urls (simply, when a file-url match should be distrusted because that file has multiple urls of the same url class). it was also too aggressive on file/unknown url classes, which can legitimately have tokenised neighbours, and getting confused by http/https dupes
    The neighbour test now remembers untrustworthy domains across different url checks for a file, which helps some subsequent direct-file-url checks where neighbours aren't a marker of file-url mapping reliability
    The overall logic behind the hash and url lookup is cleaned up significantly
    If you are an advanced user who has been working with me on this stuff, let me know how it goes. we erected this rats' nest through years of patches, and now I have cleaned it out. I'm confident it works better overall, but I may have missed one of your complicated situations. at the least, these new options should help us figure out quicker fixes in future

    Boring code cleanup:

    Removed some old 'subject_identifier' arg parsing from various account-modification calls in the server code. as previously planned, for simplicity and security, the only identifier for these actions is now 'subject_account_key', and subject_identifier is only used for account lookups
    Improved the error handling around serialised object loading. the messages explain what happened and state object type and the versions involved
    Cleaned up some tag sort code
    Cleaned up how advanced file delete content updates work
    Fixed yet another duplicate potentials count unit test that was sometimes failing due to complex count perspective

Changelog

downloaders

    twitter took down the API we were using, breaking all our nice twitter downloaders! argh!
    a user has figured out a basic new downloader that grabs the tweets amongst the first twenty tweets-and-retweets of an account. yes, only the first twenty max, and usually fewer. because this is a big change, the client will ask about it when you update. if you have some complicated situation where you are working on the old default twitter downloaders and don't want them deleted, you can select 'no' on the dialog it throws up, but everyone else wants to say 'yes'. then check your twitter subs: make sure they moved to the new downloader, and you probably want to make them check more frequently too.
    given the rate of changes at twitter, I think we can expect more changes and blocks in future. I don't know whether nitter will be viable alternative, so if the artists you like end up on a nice simple booru anywhere , I strongly recommend just moving there. twitter appears to be explicitly moving to non-third-party-friendly
    thanks to a user's work, the 'danbooru - get webm ugoira' parser is fixed!
    thanks to a user's work, the deviant art parser is updated to get the highest res image in more situations!
    thanks to a user's work, the pixiv downloader now gets the artist note, in japanese (and translated, if there is one), and a 'medium:ai generated' tag!

sidecars

    I wrote some sidecar help here! https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/advanced_sidecars.html
    when the client parses files for import, the 'does this look like a sidecar?' test now also checks that the base component of the base filename (e.g. 'Image123' from 'Image123.jpg.txt') actually appears in the list of non-txt/json/xml ext files. a random yo.txt file out of nowhere will now be inspected in case it is secretly a jpeg again, for good or ill
    when you drop some files on the client, the number of files skipped because they looked like sidecars is now stated in the status label
    fixed a typo bug that meant tags imported from sidecars were not being properly cleaned, despite preview appearance otherwise, for instance '', which in hydrus needs to be secretly stored as '' was being imported as ')'
    as a special case, tags that in hydrus are secretly '' will be converted to '' on export to sidecar too, the inverse of the above problem. there may be some other tag cleaning quirks to undo here, so let me know what you run into

related tags overhaul

    the 'related tags' suggestion system, turned on under options->tag suggestions , has several changes, including some prototype tech I'd love feedback on
    first off, there are two new search buttons, 'new 1' and 'new 2' ('2' is available on repositories only).. these use an upgraded statistical search and scoring system that a user worked on and sent in. I have butchered his specific namespace searching system to something more general/flexible and easy for me to maintain, but it works better and more comprehensibly than my old method! give it a go and let me know how each button does--the first one will be fast but less useful on the PTR, the second will be slower but generally give richer results (although it cannot do tags with too-high count)
    the new search routine works on multiple files, so 'related tags' now shows on tag dialogs launched from a selection of thumbnails!
    also, all the related search buttons now search any selection of tags you make!!! so if you can't remember that character's name, just click on the series or another character they are often with and hit the search, and you should get a whole bunch appear
    I am going to keep working on this in the future. the new buttons will become the only buttons, I'll try and mitigate the prototype search limitations, add some cancel tech, move to a time-based search length like the current buttons, and I'll add more settings, including for filtering so we aren't looking up related tags for 'page:x' and so on. I'm interested in knowing how you get on with IRL data. are there too many recommendations (is the tolerance too high?)? is the sorting good (is the stuff at the top relevant or often just noise?)?

misc

    all users can now copy their service keys (which are a technical non-changing hex identifier for your client's services) from the review services window--advanced mode is no longer needed. this may be useful as the client api transitions to service keys
    when a job in the downloader search log generates new jobs (e.g. fetches the next page), the new job(s) are now inserted after the parent. previously, they were appended to the end of the list. this changes how ngugs operate, converting their searches from interleaved to sequential!
    restarting search log jobs now also places the new job after the restarted job
    when you create a new export folder, if you have default metadata export sidecar settings from a previous manual file export, the program now asks if you want those for the new export folder or an empty list. previously, it just assigned the saved default, which could be jarring if it was saved from ages ago
    added a migration guide to the running from source help. also brushed up some language and fixed a bunch of borked title weights in that document
    the max initial and periodic file limits in subscriptions is now 50k when in advanced mode. I can't promise that would be nice though!
    the file history chart no longer says that inbox and delete time tracking are new

misc fixes

    fixed a cursor type detection test that was stopping the cursor from hiding immediately when you do a media viewer drag in Qt6
    fixed an issue where 'clear deletion record' calls were not deleting from the newer 'all my files' domain. the erroneous extra records will be searched for and scrubbed on update
    fixed the issue where if you had the new 'unnamespaced input gives (any namespace) wildcard results' search option on, you couldn't add any novel tags in WRITE autocomplete contexts like 'manage tags'!!! it could only offer the automatically converted wildcard tags as suggested input, which of course aren't appropriate for a WRITE context. the way I ultimately fixed this was horrible; the whole thing needs more work to deal with clever logic like this better, so let me know if you get any more trouble here
    I think I fixed an infinite hang when trying to add certain siblings in manage tag siblings. I believe this was occuring when the dialog was testing if the new pair would create a loop when the sibling structure already contains a loop. now it throws up a message and breaks the test
    fixed an issue where certain system:filetype predicates would spawn apparent duplicates of themselves instead of removing on double-click. images+audio+video+swf+pdf was one example. it was a 'all the image types' vs 'list of (all the) image types' conversion/comparison/sorting issue

client api

    this is later than I expected, but as was planned last year, I am clearing up several obsolete parameters and data structures this week. mostly it is bad service name-identification that seemed simple or flexible to support but just added maintenance debt, induced bad implementation practises, and hindered future expansions. if you have a custom api script, please read on--and if you have not yet moved to the alternatives, do so before updating!
    all ...service_name... parameters are officially obsolete! they will still work via some legacy hacks, so old scripts shouldn't break, but they are no longer documented. please move to the ...service_key... alternates as soon as reasonably possible (check out /get_services if you need to learn about service keys)
    /add_tags/get_tag_services is removed! use /get_services instead!
    hide_service_names_tags, previously made default true, is removed and its data structures service_names_to_statuses_to_... are also gone! move to the new tags structure.
    hide_service_keys_tags is now default true. it will be removed in 4 weeks or so. same deal as with service_names_to_statuses_to_...--move to tags
    system_inbox and system_archive are removed from /get_files/search_files! just use 'system:inbox/archive' in the tags list
    the 'set_file_relationships' command from last week has been reworked to have a nicer Object parameter with a new name. please check the updated help! normally I wouldn't change something so quick, but we are still in early prototype, so I'm ok shifting it (and the old method still works lmao, but I'll clear that code out in a few weeks, so please move over--the Object will be much nicer to expand in future, which I forgot about in v513)
    many Client API commands now support modern file domain objects, meaning you can search a UNION of file services and 'deleted-from' file services. affected commands are
        /add_files/delete_files
        /add_files/undelete_files
        /add_tags/search_tags
        /get_files/search_files
        /manage_file_relationships/get_everything
    a new /get_service call now lets you ask about an individual service by service name or service key, basically a parameterised /get_services
    the /manage_pages/get_pages and /manage_pages/get_page_info calls now give the page_state, a new enum that says if the page is ready, initialised, searching, or search-cancelled
    to reduce duplicate argument spam, the client api help now specifies the complicated 'these files' and now 't...

Changelog

    Related tags:

    I worked on last week's related tags algorithm test, bringing it up to usable standard. the old buttons now use the new algorithm exclusively. all users now get 'related tags' showing in manage tags by default (if you don't like it, you can turn it off under options->tag suggestions)
    The new algorithm has new cancel tech and does a 'work for 600ms' kind of deal, like the old system, and the last-minute blocks from last week are gone--it will search as much as it has time for, including partial results. it also won't lag you out for thirty seconds (unless you tell it to in the options). it searches tags with low count first, so don't worry if it doesn't get to everything--'1girl' usually doesn't have a huge amount extra to offer once everything else has run
    It also uses 'hydev actually thought about this' statistical sampling tech to work massively faster on larger-count tags at the cost of some variance in rank and the odd false positive (considered sufficiently related when it actually shouldn't meet the threshold) nearer the bottom end of the tags result list
    Rather than 'new 1' and 'new 2', there is now an on/off button for searching your local files or all known files on tag repositories. 'all known files' = great results, but very slow, which the tooltip explains
    There's also a new status label that will tell you when it is searching and how well the search went (e.g. '12/51 tags searched fully in 459ms')
    I also added the 'quick' search button back in, since we can now repeat searches for just selections of tags
    I fixed a couple typos in the algorthim that were messing some results
    In the manage tags dialog, if you have the suggested tag panels 'side-to-side', they now go in named boxes
    In the manage tags dialog, if you have suggested tag panels in a notebook, 'related tags' will only refresh its search on a media change event (including dialog initialisation) when it is the selected page. it won't lag you from the background!
    Options->tag suggestions now lets you pick which notebook'd tag suggestions page you want to show by default. this defaults to 'related'
    I have more plans here. these related tags results are very cachable, so that's an obvious next step to speed up results, and when I have done some other long-term tag improvements elsewhere in the program, I'll be able to quickly filter out unhelpful sibling and parent suggestions. more immediately, I think we'll want some options for namespace weighting (e.g. 'series:' tags' suggestions could have higher rank than 'smile'), so we can tune things a bit

    Misc:

    The 'open externally' canvas widget, which shows any available thumbnail of the flash or psd or whatever, now sizes itself correctly and draws the thumbnail nicely if you set the new thumbnail supersampling option to >100%. if your thumbnail is the wrong size (and probably in a queue to be regenerated soon), I think it'll still make the window too big/small, but it'll draw the thumbnail to fit
    If a tag content update comes in with an invalid tag (such as could happen with sidecars recently), the client now heals better. the bad tag is corrected live in more places, and this should be propagated to the UI. if you got a warning about 'you have invalid tags in view' recently but running the routine found no problems, please reboot, and I think you'll be fixed. I'm pretty sure the database wasn't being damaged at all here (it has cleaning safeguards, so it shouldn't be possible to actually save bad tags)--it was just a thing to do with the UI not being told of the cleaned tag, and it shouldn't happen again. thank you for the reports! (issue #1324)
    Export folders and the file maintenance dialog no longer apply the implicit system:limit (defaults to max 10k files) to their searches!
    Old OR predicates that you load with saved searches and similar should now always have alphebetised components, and if you double-click them to remove them, they will now clear correctly (previously, they were doing something similar to the recent filetype problem, where instead of recognising themselves and deleting, they would instead duplicate a normalised (sorted) copy of themselves)
    Thanks to a user, updated the recently note-and-ai-updated pixiv parser again to grab the canonical pixiv URL and translated tags, if present
    Thanks to a user, updated the sankaku parser to grab some more tags
    The file location context and tag context buttons under tag autocompletes now put menu separators between each type of file/tag service in their menus. for basic users, this'll be a separator for every row, but for advanced users with multiple local domains, it will help categorise the list a bit

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:

    The 'manage sidecar routers' control, which is on manage import folders, manage export folders, path-tagging-before-manual-import, and manual export files, now has import/export/duplicate buttons. you can save and transfer your work now! if you try to import 'export to sidecar' routers to an 'import from sidecar' context or vice versa, it should give you a nicely worded error
    Fixed the error that was raising when you turn related tags off with the suggestions set to side-by-side layout. very sorry for the trouble!
    Apngs that are set to 'loop x times' (usually once) now only loop that many times, on both mpv and my native renderer! like gifs, the 'always loop animations' setting under options->media overrides it!
    Fixed an issue with my native renderer not updating on scanbar scrubs very well. should be back to nice smooth instant draw as you scrub
    Thanks to a user, folded in another deviant art parser update to the defaults
    Updated the setuptools version in the requirements.txt due to a security note--I don't think the problem (which was about some vulnerable regex when fetching malicious package info) applies to us, but running from source users might like to run setup_venv again this week anyway

    Related tags:

    A new 'concurrence threshold' setting under options->tag suggestions allows you to set how 'strict' the related tags search is. a higher percentage causes fewer but more relevant results. I'm increasing the default this week from 4% to 6%
    Two new 'namespace to weight' settings under options->tag suggestions now manage how much weight the 'search' and 'suggestion' sides of related tags have. you can say 'rank the suggestions from character tags highly' or 'rank unnamespaced suggestions lower', and 'do not search x tags' and 'do not suggest y tags'. I have prepped it with some 'creator/character/series namespaces are better than unnamespaced, and title/filename/page/chapter/volume are useless' defaults, but feel free to play around with it
    The related tags algorithm takes a larger sample now, resulting in a little less ranking-variability

    Client api:

    Changed and fixed an issue in the client api's new get_file_relationships call. previously, I said 'king' would be null if it was not on the given file domain, but this was not working correctly--it was giving pseudorandom 'fallback' kings. now it always gives the king, no matter what! a new param, king_is_on_file_domain says whether the king is on the given domain. king_is_local says whether the king is available on disk
    Added some discussion and a list of the 8 possible 'better than' and 'same quality' logical combinations to the set_file_relationships help so you can see how group merge involving non-kings works
    Client api is now version 42
