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

    Autocomplete:

    In autocomplete dropdowns, the advanced 'all known files' file domain now generally appears as 'all known files with tags'. the way file+tag search works here has been obscure and confusing for a long time; now the label specifically says what's going on
    To complement 'all known files with tags', all users now see a new 'all files ever imported/deleted', which is what most people actually want when they try 'all known files'. this quick-select entry for 'currently in or deleted from all my files' will run super quick in almost all cases and allows 'all known tags'!
    The new 'preserve selection between prefetch and full results' behaviour in tag autocomplete no longer applies if you have 'select the first item with count' turned on. these things just don't play well together
    That 'select the first item with count' option is now available in the manage tags dialog's cog icon too
    The 'edit' autocomplete tag search should be better about shuffling the top results. it now tries to put 'ideal of what you entered' at the very top (if that differs from what you typed), then what you actually typed (with or without count), and no longer shuffles other siblings to the top--while they are still included in the results, they weren't so helpful being spammed to the top every time!
    Any search predicate that has a wildcard asterisk in its namespace is now coloured by default as the 'namespaced tags' fallback colour. this includes the somewhat new (any namespace) search tags. behind the scenes, the colour I assign is for a namespace of just '*', so you can set your own colour if you like
    The different 'edit tags' autocomplete panels that have paste buttons--in manage siblings, manage parents, filename tagging, tag import options, and favourite tag management--are now all 'add only'. if any of the tags you are pasting already exist in the list, they now won't be removed

    Misc:

    The '(displays as xxx)' sibling suffix is shortened to a simpler unicode arrow, " ? ". if you don't like it, you can edit it under options->tag presentation!
    I also went full meme and made the sibling connecting block's background colour a gradient on Qt6 (and lol the unselected text is a gradient too, but you need to alter it to something longer to really see). if you don't like it, you can turn it off in the same place! I also tweaked some of the padding sizes here so the different text blocks line up a little nicer
    Thanks to a user's continued good work, I am rolling in another update to the Deviant Art file downloader that can grab the 'original quality' file from the logged-in-only download button that some artists turn on. furthermore, there are five new 'File URL' classes for the different qualities the file urls represent, which will propagate to all of your existing DA files, be searchable with system:known url, and hence allow you to find the medium/original/whatever quality versions that you have. now, not every 'medium quality' post on the site has the 'original' download button, but if you are an advanced user with a long DA download history, then with a bit of magic wand waving with your file import options, you can set up an url downloader for a one-time rescan that'll check and redownload your favourite mediums' URLs, or the mediums you know will have 'original quality', for that better version--try it in a small batch first, and let me know what you discover!
    Fixed note content update pipeline so it can handle various instances of multiple notes with the same name coming in at once. previously it would pseudorandomly pick one and discard the others, now it does all the normal '(1)' renaming rules (and even note text extension merging, and hopefully in a good reliable order) as it goes through them
    If you are a madlad, you can now boost the 'prefetch previous/next' options under 'speed and memory' up to 50 either way. a new label complains if you set them too high given your current image cache size
    The file maintenance system now catches serious IOErrors, which usually suggest big deal hard drive problems, give the user a special popup message, and stops all future file maintenance work that boot
    The file maintenance system is better at stopping work for program shutdown while in the midst of a larger batch job
    Fixed the second 'current and pending' label on 'migrate tags'--the new action was 'pending only' as intended, the bad label was just a stupid copy/paste typo
    Thanks to a detailed user report, fixed multiple broken internal #anchor links in the help

    Repository:

    (both server and client need to be updated to get this)
    Last week's 'delete all content' command failed IRL. it locked up the PTR for six hours and then appeared to fail (rollback) on a seemingly normal account. I am not sure what the inefficiency was here, but this job obviously has to be re-thought for real world use, so this week I am altering the command to break the job up into smaller pieces and stop safely after twenty seconds of work. the janitor client will receive a message on whether everything was deleted or not
    This is not a total solution or a nice solution, but it should be a stopgap that still allows deletion of small accounts' content while not breaking for big accounts. the ultimate answer here is going to look like proper account content-count caching (rather than the '5000 mappings' limit), and an asynchronous 'purge' maintenance system that runs in the background that janitor clients can check up on and even cancel

Changelog

    Some tag presentation:

    Building on last week's custom sibling connector, if you don't like the fade you can now override the 'namespace' colour of the sibling connector if you like
    You can also set the ' OR ' connector text
    And you can set the OR connector's 'namespace' colour. it was 'system' before
    Also turned off the new namespace colour fading for OR predicates, where it was unintentionally kicking in and looking horrible lol
    Misc:added a checkbox to 'file viewing statistcs' to turn off tracking for the archive/delete filter, if you don't like that
    File viewing statistics now maxes out at five times a duration-having media's duration, if that is more than your max view time
    The simple version of the file delete dialog will now never overwrite a file deletion reason if all of the to-be-deleted files already have deletion reasons (e.g. when physically deleting trash)
    The advanced version of the dialog now always selects 'keep existing reason' or 'do not alter existing reasons' when they exist, regardless of your 'remember previous reason' action. also, the 'remember previous reason' saved reason no longer updates if 'keep existing reason' or 'do not alter existing reasons' is set--it will stick on whatever it was before
    I might have fixed a height-layout bug in the petition management page
    Advanced change to unnamespaced tags and their parsing:
    The rule that allows ':p' as a tag (by secretly storing it as '::p') has been expanded--now any unnamespaced tag can include a colon as long as it starts with an explicit colon, which in hydrus rendering contexts is usually hidden. you can now type these in simply by beginning your tag with ':'--the secret character will be quickly swallowed
    For the parsing system, content parsers that get tags can now decide whether to set an explicit namespace or not. from now on, content parsers that are set to get unnamespaced tags will force all tags they get to be unnamespaced! this stops some site that has incidental colons in their 'subtags' from spamming twenty different new namespaces to hydrus. to preserve old parser behaviour, all existing content parsers that were left blank (no namespace) will be updated to not set an explicit namespace. if you are a parser maker, please consider whether you want to go with 'unnamespaced' or 'any namespace' going forward in your parsers--since most places don't use the hydrus 'namespace:subtag' format, I suspect when we want to make the decision, we'll want 'unnamespaced'
    I updated the pixiv parser to specifically ask for unnamespaced tags when parsing regular user tags, since it has some of these colon-having tags
    As a side thing, extra colons are now collapsed at the start of a tag--anything that starts with four colons will be collapsed down to two, with one displaying to humans
    Also, during parsing, if a content parser gets a tag and the subtag already starts with its namespace, it will no longer double the namespace. parse 'character:dave' with namespace set to 'character', it will no longer produce 'character:character:dave'

    Advanced file domain and file import options stuff:

    All import pages that need to consult their file domain now do so on a 'realised' version of 'default file import options', so if you are set to import to 'my imports', and you open a new page from a tag or some thumbs on that import page, the new file page will be set to 'my imports', not some weird 'my files' stub value (in clients that deleted 'my files', this would be 'initialising...' forever)
    More stages of the file import process 'realise' default file import options stubs, just in case more of these problems slip through in future (e.g. in my file import unit tests, which I just discovered were all broken)
    The 'default' file import options stub is now initialised with your first local file domain rather than 'my files', so if this thing is ever still consulted anywhere, it should serve as a better last resort
    Also fixed the file domain button getting stuck on 'initialising' if it starts with an empty file domain
    When you open the edit file import options dialog on a 'default' FIO and switch to a non-default, it now fills in all the details with the current LOUD FIO

    Boring cleanup:

    Extracted the master file search method (~1800 lines of code) from the monolithic database object and into its own module. then broke several sub-pieces like rating or note searching code out into that module and cleaned misc stuff along the way. not done by any means, but this was a big db-cleanup hump
    Reshuffled all the page management objects so they no longer keep an explicit copy of their current file domain--now they always consult their respective sub-objects, whether that is a file search or an importer or what. any time a page needs to consult its file domain, it'll always get the live and sensible version. as above, they also 'realise' default file import options stubs
    Broke the 'getting started with tags' help page into two and straddled the 'getting started with searching' page with them. the intention is to get users typing a few tags into their first import pages, just that, and then playing around with them in search, before moving on to more complicated tag subjects
    Split the 'autocomplete' section of the 'search' options into two, for read/write a/c contexts, and the default file and tag domain options have been moved there from 'files and trash' and 'tags'

    New:

    Added a new module: Board Games
    Added online search: Board Games Atlas.
    Added merge option to other modules beside the property modules. This means you can now merge artists, developers and other (sub) module items. It allows you to select the duplicated items and select an existing target item. The process will the update all references from the duplicated items to the new target item. When that’s done, the selected duplicated items are removed from the database completely. The merge dialog has been improved a bit as well.
    Added componists module and added a componists field to the music album module.
    Added moviemeter.nl online search (Dutch movie site).
    Database language setting added. This determines how items are sorted. For most languages, the default will work. But if you find the sorting is not correct, please change the setting in Settings > Regional Settings > Database Language.

    Changed:

    The help system was relying on old library called Java Help. As the information within was hard to maintained it has been decided to move the help system onto the datacrow.org website (https://datacrow.org/docs). When you press F1 for help, this page will be opened. Pages have been mapped to the appropriate topics you are requesting help for, as was the case for the old help system.
    Updated HSQL DB to version 2.7.1. JSoup updated to 1.15.4. Gson (from Google) updated to version 2.10.1. Apache xmlgraphics Batik updated to 1.16. Apache PDFBox updated to 2.0.27. Apache Tika upgraded to 2.7.0. Log4j updated to 2.20. jAudiotagger updated to 3.0.1. ImageIO updated to 3.9.4. Jetty updated to 11.0.14. Jakarta Faces updated to 4.0.1. Jakarta Platform updated to 10.0.0. SLF4J API Module updated 2.0.6. Jakarta Servlet updated to 6.0.
    Online service pack 1.7: reimplemented online service for The Movie Database; fixed issues present in previous versions where actors and such were no longer retrieved and added additional fields to be retrieved such as: rating, countries and languages.
    Switched on key field settings in everyone’s configuration. This will allow for the uniqueness check to work; when saving an item, Data Crow will check whether the item already exists. It does this by checking the field settings; it will check the combination of values for all fields marked as “key”. If an item already exists with the exact same values for these key fields Data Crow will prevent you from saving the item. Since this was incorrectly set in the base configuration of Data Crow it will now be adjusted (just once) for everyone; every field that is currently marked as ‘required’ will also gain the ‘key’ setting (see Settings > General Field Settings).
    Discogs.com service now also sets the composer for tracks & albums.
    References filter will now filter on contains instead of starting with, same for the field filter dialogs.
    Small layout fixes for the loan administration panel.
    Added sorting capabilities to the General Field Settings dialog.
    Added look & feels; FlatLaf IntelliJ, FlatLaf Dark & FlatLaf Darcula
    File Renamer; renamed Start button to Preview.
    Find & Replace; renamed Appy button to Preview.
    Discogs.com; title contained the artist name. Changed to only contain the title.
    Discogs.com; added two additional search fields; year and artist. They are both optional and can be used to refine your queries.
    Discogs.com; added UPC search mode.
    Books module: added fields added translators & year of First Publication
    Online search OpenLibrary.org: added translators & year of First Publication
    Online search OpenLibrary.org: added optional author filter field to narrow search
    Online search: improved the search result overview; less clunky (large) components with fixed fields. Instead smaller cards are displayed and the details of a search result can be reviewed in the quick view of the online search form.

    Fixed:

    Discogs.com service now handles sub tracks correctly.
    Corrected all incorrect base settings, for new installation.
    Cleanup; corrected the record label module and field references, internal names were incorrect. The database will be automatically updated.
    Sorting of values was not correct for the tree panels and for the auto numbering tool (for special characters).
    Server: user could not be edited (error + client got stuck).
    Server: children were not saved when creating a new item.
    Server: performance was impacted due to the fact that the whole user object was serialized for each permission entry.
    Server: loan module check for editing allowed was depending on the plugin being loaded. It should only have checked to see whether the permission was given as the server does not have access to the plugins themselves.
    Sorting was not correct when including reference fields (for special characters).
    Icons showing too large (unscaled) in the reference selection field.
    Descriptive setting not correctly applied for media, person and property items.
    Fixed the layout in the toolbar, ugly line in front of Quick Search.
    Help updates; reviewed all help files and remove incorrect references and incorrect information.
    Removed references to no longer existing parameters (-clearsettings and -nosplash).
    Property maintenance overviews did not adhere to the descriptive field settings.
    Related Items; overviews did not adhere to the descriptive field settings. Now, each item is represented based on the descriptive general field settings of its module.
    Fixed a NullPointerException in the Auto Numbering tool in case order fields were selected except for the first level.
    File Importer; the specific music file import dialog was not used in the Music Album module, instead the generic import dialog was shown.
    When exporting loans to an iCalender file the description and summary of the event contained %1 instead of the item type.
    Many corrections have been made to the help system.
    Server edition was missing the language resources.
    Online search OpenLibrary.org: language drop-down was not sorted.

Changelog

    Notes in sidecars:

    The sidecars system now supports notes!
    My sidecars only support univariate rows atm (a list of strings, rather than, say, a list of pairs of strings), so I had to make a decision how to handle note names. if I reworked the pipeline to handle multivariate data, it would take weeks; if I incorporated explicit names into the sidecar object, it would have made 'get/export all my notes' awkward or impossible and not solved the storage problem; so I have compromised in this first version by choosing to import/export everything and merging the name and text into the same row. it expects/says 'name: text' for input and output. let me know what you think. I may revisit this, depending on how it goes
    I added a note to the sidecars help about this special 'name: text' rule along with a couple ideas for tricky situations

    Misc:

    Added 'system:framerate' and 'system:number of frames' to the system predicate parser!
    I am undoing two changes to tag logic from last week: you can now have as many colons at the start of a tag as you like, and the content parser no longer tries to stop double-stacked namespaces. both of these were more trouble than they were worth. in related news, '::' is now a valid tag again, displaying as ':', and you can create :blush:-style tags by typing ::blush:. I'm pretty sure these tags will autocomplete search awfully, so if you end up using something like this legit, let me know how it goes
    If you change the 'media/preview viewer uses its own volume' setting, the client now updates the UI sliders for this immediately, it doesn't need a client restart. the actual volume on the video also changes immediately
    When an mpv window is called to play media that has 'no audio', the mpv window is now explicitly muted. we'll see if this fixes an interesting issue where on one system, videos that have an audio channel with no sound, which hydrus detects as 'no audio', were causing cracks and pops and bursts of hellnoise in mpv (we suspect some sort of normalisation gain error)

    File safety with duplicate symlinked directory entries:

    The main hydrus function that merges/mirrors files and directories now checks if the source and destination are the same location but with two different representations (e.g. a mapped drive and its network location). if so, to act as a final safety backstop, the mirror skips work and the merge throws an error. previously, if you wangled two entries for the same location into 'migrate database' and started a migration, it could cause file deletions!
    I've also updated my database migration routines to recognise and handle this situation explicitly. it now skips all file operations and just updates the location record instantly. it is now safe to have the same location twice in the dialog using different names, and to migrate from one to the other. the only bizzaro thing is if you look in the directory, it of course has boths' contents. as always though, I'll say make backups regularly, and sync them before you do any big changes like a migration--then if something goes wrong, you always have an up-to-date backup to roll back to
    The 'migrate database' dialog no longer chases the real path of what you give it. if you want to give it the mapped drive Z:, it'll take and remember it
    Some related 'this is in the wrong place' recovery code handles these symlink situations better as well

    Advanced new parsing tricks:

    Thanks to a clever user doing the heavy lifting, there are two neat but advanced additions to the downloader system
    First, the parsing system has a new content parser type, 'http headers', which lets you parse http headers to be used on subsequent downloads created by the parsing downloader object (e.g. next gallery page urls, file downloads from post pages, multi-file posts that split off to single post page urls). should be possible to wangle tokenized gallery searches and file downloads and some hacky login systems
    Second, the string converter system now lets you calculate the normal hydrus hashes--md5, sha1, sha256, sha512--of any string (decoding it by utf-8), outputting hexadecimal

    Http headers on the client api:

    The client api now lets you see and edit the http headers (as under network->data->review http headers) for the global network context and specific domains. the commands are /manage_headers/get_headers and /manage_headers/set_headers
    If you have the 'Make a short-lived popup on cookie updates through the Client API' option set (under 'popups' options page), this now applies to these header changes too
    Also debuting on the side is a 'network context' object in the get_headers response, confirming the domain you set for. this is an internal object that does domain location stuff all over. it isn't important here, but as we do more network domain setting editing, I expect we'll see more of this guy
    I added some some documentation for all this, as normal, to the client api help
    The labels and help around 'manage cookies' permission are now 'manage cookies and headers'
    The client api version is now 43
    The old /manage_headers/set_user_agent still works. ideally, please move to set_headers, since it isn't that complex, but no rush. I've made a job to delete it in a year
    While I was doing this, I realised get/set_cookies is pretty bad. I hate their old 'just spam tuples' approach. I've slowly been replacing this stuff with nicer named JSON Objects as is more typical in APIs and is easier to update, so I expect I'll overhaul them at some point

    Boring cleanup:

    Gave the about window a pass. it now runs on the newer scrolling panel system using my hydrus UI objects (so e.g. the hyperlink now opens on a custom browser command, if you need it), says what platform you are on and whether you are source/build/app, and the version info lines are cleaned a little
    Fixed/cleaned some bad code all around http header management
    Wrote some unit tests for http headers in the client api
    Wrote some unit tests for notes in sidecars
