misc

    a new macOS build that should run on Big Sur is now ready, it should be attached to this release. it is built on github automatically, and is thanks to hard work from Suika and ReAnzu. I am attaching my old release as well, just in case I messed up somewhere on my end. if you are a macOS user, please try the new App! it will not work on very old macOS like 10.12, but if this works out today for the majority of macOS users, I will be moving to just putting this new build out going forward. I'll add some polish like the readme.rtf and harmonise the filename etc.. too. I'd love to cut the filesize down, but this may not be possible (it is apparently some modern macOS thing where it bundles old and new versions of libraries in the same App so you basically get it twice)
    the bottom-right corner of the regular media viewer canvas now also shows media zoom
    the StringSorter object now has a simple 'reverse' sort type
    the infamous multi-column list 'last column' width calculations are improved: first, dialogs with multi-column lists should no longer judder back and forth a single character's width as you expand the parent window. also, the last column saved size (which is used in dialog relaunch width initialisation) is now snapped to rounded 5-character intervals, which should mitigate various 'fuzzy' reasons for some dialogs to remember a larger or smaller size and grow or shrink one or more characters' width on the next launch
    the help->debug->gui actions menu has a new entry to reset all multi-column list saved widths back to default
    the 'edit OR predicate' panel when you shift+double-click an OR predicate now expands horizontally and vertically with the window
    the 'edit search predicates' list in the 'edit favourite search' panel now expands vertically with the window
    the client now detects some invalid tag mapping states on tag upload--when a mapping is both current & pending or when it is both deleted and petitioned. these pair-states are mutually exclusive, normally impossible to get to, but one user who nonetheless ended up in this situation encountered an infinite uploading loop to a tag repository (since the tag was already current/deleted, the pending/petitioned status was not clearing correctly on upload commit). now, the upload will be abandoned and an info message put up with the fix
    added a new maintenance routine to database->check and repair that fixes logically inconsistent mappings. it has a popup dialog when it works and forces a pending count refresh and shows a summary afterwards
    the routine that counts up total current or pending mappings on a service when the cached number has been reset is now massively faster (from a 30-60s down to less than a second in my dev tests). it now sums the tag autocomplete cache, rather than counting raw tables
    fixed the BUGFIX option in 'connections' that allows you to disable ssl verification. this will also be extended at a later date to be domain-specific

new server stuff

    a new permission is added to hydrus service accounts--'manage options'. any account with 'manage account types' will get this by default on update
    any account on a repository with 'manage options' permission will now see 'change update period' in the admin services menu! it launches a time delta control with the current update period and will send the new one up to the server. the client will resync account, options, and metadata immediately, and the server will generate any now-due updates immediately, so you should be able to watch changes occur in 'review services' and the server terminal live. other users will catch up to the new time when they next hit an update. various hardcoded check periods (like how often due updates are checked for and delay-buffered clientside and serverside) are shrunk significantly. the whole system should react to changes better
    the minimum settable update time is now 10 minutes (the default value remains 100,000 seconds), but I recommend you try larger, say an hour minimum, at least to start. the network generally works more efficiently with higher numbers, and be warned, if you are adding 144 updates a day, there may be bloat problems after a year
    let me know how this goes, whether you are running a server on a LAN or just a regular user running on one who gets a new update time!
    the new 'full metadata resync' routine now triggers an immediate metadata update sync and wakes the daemon involved, so it should now happen as you watch
    fixed the new pause/play buttons on review services to use neutral pause/play icons, not the downloader pause/play
    brushed up metadata sync status string on review services
    cleaned misc server and network code
    cleaned up some old clientside service code
    the client api now supports wildcard and namespace tags in the file search call
    client api version is now 16
    added https://ififfy.github.io/flipflip/#/ , a slideshow engine that now supports hydrus as a source, to the client api page

Changelog

    macOS:

    I fixed an issue with last week's Big Sur compatible release where it wasn't finding your old database correctly--it was defaulting to a different location, so without a specific launch command otherwise, it started a fresh db and said 'hey, looks like first time you ran the program'. if you are a long-time user of hydrus, please install and run 436 as usual, it should figure out your old db location correctly as ~/Library/Hydrus without any launch command override needed
    If you never ran any of the old macOS builds, and you started using hydrus for the first time on macOS last week with the experimental Big Sur compatible build, your brand new database is in a funky location! don't update yet, or you will delete it! You will want to copy your .db files and the client_files folder from inside_the_435_app/Contents/MacOS/db to ~/Library/Hydrus, which should for most people be /Users/(YOU)/Library/Hydrus. feel free to ask for help if you can't figure this out
    fixed a 'this is macOS' platform check for newer macOS releases, which ensures the 'userpath' fallback is correctly initialised to ~/Library/Hydrus
    fixed the new macOS github workflow build script to tell hydrus that it is running from inside an App, so it knows to default to the userpath fallback correctly
    the macOS build now has the old filename
    it also has the ReadMeFirst.rtf file and Applications shortcut
    collected the new build-related files in static/build_files, which will likely see more files in future

    pending tag cache regen:

    two new maintenance tasks are added to the database->regenerate menu--one that forces a recalc of your total 'pending' count as used in the pending menu, and one that recalculates the cached pending tag mappings for storage tags (just like the display one added some time ago, but one layer deeper). the menu entries are relabelled appropriately
    these routines will be run on database update, and should correct the bad pending menu counts many users discovered last week (the new efficient way that the pending count is calculated exposed some legacy bad cached pending storage mappings entries. we'll see if they come back, or if this is just clearing up bad counts hanging around from ages ago)
    the quick pending mapping cache regen routines take a little longer to initialise now, but they now clear out surplus tag data, rather than just regenerating the 'correct' tags

    misc:

    added an experimental setting to options->tag presentation to replace all underscores in tags with spaces. this is just a render rule, so it will only apply in front-facing 'display' contexts (a bit like how siblings work in search pages, but you see the truth in manage tags), will consume a little more CPU with big lists, and may result in some duplicate rows, but let's see how it goes. this is basically a quick hardcoded hack until there is a more beautiful solution here
    in the two 'Duck' dark QSS styles, removed fixed font size on button labels that wasn't scaling on high DPI screens
    the filename tagging panel now shows parents and siblings correctly on the 'tags for all' and 'tags for selected' taglists. I'd like to show siblings and parents in the file list above in future, but it'll be a bit more tricky to do neatly and without megalag
    GUGs and NGUGs now report their reasons for not being functional in the downloader selector list and subscription errors. typically this will be a missing url class or an url class missing a matching parser, but more complicated example-url-parsing errors will also be outlined
    fixed a bug in the client api in the set-cookies call when no cookies are set, and ensured all cookies added this way are saved permanently (before, some could be lost if that domain was not used in network traffic before the next client shutdown)
    the 'refresh account' button in review services now works on the new async system. it presents errors nicely
    a repository's current update period is now stated in its review services panel
    review services now says 'checking for updates in...' rather than 'next update due...', which is more accurate and will matter more with small update times
    fixed some false positive instances of 'this server was not a tag repo' error in the network engine.
    the hydrus server now also outputs hydrus specific 'Server' header (rather than some twisted default) on 'unsupported request' 404s and any other unusual 'infrastructure' 4XX or 5XX
    if the repository updates in the filesystem are lacking some required file information when calculating what to process, the client now queues those files for a metadata regen maintenance job and raises a cleaner error
    just as a safety measure, if a repository ever happens to deliver a metadata update slice with a 'next update due' time that has already passed, the client now adds a buffer and checks tomorrow instead
    a new program launch argument, db_transaction_commit_time, lets you change how often the database's changes are committed to disk. default is 30 (seconds) for client, 120 for server
    altering the repository update period now prints a summary of the change to the log
    updated the ipfs links in the help
    updated the main help index.html and the github readme.md with the user-run repo and wiki

    Misc:

    Hydrus now keeps a track of when files were deleted! this information has never been recorded clientside, and it is sadly not retroactively recoverable, but it is stored for all deletes from now on. on occasion, when hydrus says 'this was deleted from xxx', it will now have 'at an unknown time' or a nice '3 days ago' string attached. it will take a few seconds to update this week as the new table data is created
    The 'trash' panel on review services now has an 'undelete all' button
    Fixed a typo error in manage services when auto-creating a service account when more than one type of account can be created
    The thread watcher page now sorts the status column secondarily by next check time (previously, equal status would sort alphabetically by subject as a fallback secondary sort)
    I have renamed some network concepts across the program. before we had access keys, account keys, and registration keys--now we have access keys (secret password for account), account ids (identifier for account that jannies may need), and registration tokens (one-time token used to create a new account). I hope this reduces some confusion
    Reduced some overhead when fetching media results for a search, and when refreshing their tags on major content updates
    Fixed a 'no such table: mem.temp_int_hash_id_1'-style database error state that could persist for 30 seconds or more after certain rare rollbacks
    Fixed the FlipFlip link html in the client api help
    Fingers crossed, I fixed that bad Applications shortcut in the new macOS release
    Fixed a couple more instances of 'pulsing' progress gauges. now they should be blank

    More efficient updates in sessions with collected media:

    Several updates this week should reduce client UI lag when the session contains any pages with a lot of collected media, particularly when you are also running several downloaders (which spam all sorts of content updates across the client):

    The content update pipeline now tests collections for their files before content processing, and now filters down to process just the updates in a group that apply
    Collections' post-content-update internal data regeneration routine now has more options for fine regen (e.g. no need for tags recalc if the update was 'archive file'), ignores updates for urls and notes (for which it maintains no summary), and only falls back to 'just regen everything' on file location changes
    The 'selection tags' taglist now retains intelligent memory of its previous selection through collect/uncollect events, which reduces collect/uncollect lag on well-tagged files significantly

    Boring multiple local file services stuff:

    I cleaned a bunch of old hardcoded references to 'my files' and related code. it is not very interesting, but there are a few hundred references to clean up and convert to a system that supports 1-to-n local services, and this week I started hacking away, mostly presentation stuff, labels on menus and so on
    Your 'my files' now has a separate deletion record to the 'all local files' domain. its count shows in 'review services', and for the moment will just be 'all local files' plus the count in trash, but this will become more important when you can have multiple 'my files'
    Behind the scenes re-jiggering means that the deletion record now records deletion time and original import time. delete and undelete transitions are neater as a result
    Logically, files are now generally no longer moved to the trash nor undeleted from there, they instead fall there when they are in 'all local files' but no longer in any local domain, and are undeleted back to a specific service. a bunch of awkwardness is cleaned up, and import/delete/undelete content updates are regeared and ready for multiple local file services

    A whole bunch of little things have been fixed and changed behind the scenes. I cleaned file service code in general as I went. examples of little things fixed:

    A 'delete and do not keep a deletion record' action now correctly does not change the cached number of deleted files as reported in review services
    The 'clear deletion record and try again' 'remove from trash' component now uses a unified and improved and UI-updating 'untrash' database action, with correct service count changes and UI-side status changes
    The 'clear deletion record and try again' action on downloader import queues now handles mixes of actually deleted files and files just in trash more neatly
    In the very odd situation that you are looking at a non-local file on 'all known files' and it is then imported using 'archive on import', its thumbnail and metadata now fade in correctly as archived
    Added some unit tests to test the new file delete/undelete transitions
    Cleaned up a bunch of hacky old db SELECT code

    Media viewer:

    I have hacked in tile-based image rendering for the media viewer. this has always been planned as a larger, longer-term job, but the problem of large images is only getting worse, so I decided to just slam out a prototype in a week. if you have a steam-powered GPU or 4GB ram, you might like to wait until next week to update so I can iron out any surprise bugs or performance problems
    Images are now cut into tiles that are rendered on demand, so whenever the image is zoomed larger than the media viewer window, only those tiles currently in view have CPU and memory spent on resizing and storage. as you pan around, new tiles are rendered as needed, and old discarded. this makes zooming in super fast and low memory, even for large images!
    Although I am happy with this, and overall we are talking a huge improvement on previous performance, it is ugly fast code. it may fail for some unusual files. it slices and blits bitmaps around your video memory much faster than before, so some odd GPUs may also have problems. I haven't seen any alignment artifacts (1-pixel thick missing columns or rows), but some images may produce them. more apparent are some pretty ugly tile artifacts that show up between 200% and 500% zoom (interpolation algorithms, which rely on neighbour pixels, are missing border data with my simple system). I will consider how best to implement more complicated but stitch-correct overlapping tiles in future
    Futhermore, a new 'image tile' cache is added. you can customise size and timeout under options->speed and memory like for images and thumbnails. this is a dedicated cache for remembering image resize computation across images and zooms. once you have seen both situations once, flicking back and forth between two images or zoom levels is now generally always instant! this new cache starts at a healthy default of 256MB. let's see how that amount works out IRL--I think it will be plenty
    I tuned the image renderer cache--it no longer caches huge images that eat more than 25% its total size--meaning these images only hang around as long as you are looking at them--and the prefetch call that pre-renders several files previous/next to the current image no longer occurs on images that would eat more than 10% the cache size. this should greatly reduce weird flicker and other lag when browsing through a series of mega-images (which before would stomp through the cache in quick succession, barging each other out of the way and wasting a bunch of CPU). in real world terms, this basically means that with an image cache of 200MB, you should have slower individual image performance but much better overall performance looking at images with more than about 5k resolution. the dreaded 14,000x12,000 png will still bonk you on the head to do the first render, but it won't try to uselessly prefetch or flush the whole cache any more
    If you are currently looking at a static image, neighbour prefetch now only starts once the image is rendered, giving the task in front of you a bit more CPU time
    New options for prefetch delay and previous/next distance are added to 'speed and memory'
    Note this does not yet apply to the old hydrus animation renderer. that still sucks at high zoom!
    Another future step here is to expand prefetch to tiles so the first view of the 'next' media is instant, but let's let all this breathe for a bit. if you get bugs, let me know!
    Due to a Qt issue, I am stopping zoom-in events that would make the 'virtual' size of the image greater than 32,000x32,000

    Account permission improvements:

    To group sibling and parent petitions by uploader (and thus help janitor workflow), the PTR is moving to a system where the public account is download-only and accounts that can upload content are auto-generated in manage services. this code has not been tested much before, and it revealed some very bad reporting and handling of current permissions. I move this forward this week:

    If your repository account is currently unsynced from a serious previous error, any attempt to upload pending data will result in a little popup and the upload being abandoned
    Manage tag siblings and parents will now show service tabs even if the account for those services does not seem currently able to upload tags or siblngs
    If your repository account is currently unsynced from a serious previous error, this is now noted in red text in manage siblings and manage parents
    If your repository account does not have sibling/parent upload permission, this is now noted in red text in manage siblings and manage parents. you will be able to pend and petition siblings and parents ok
    If your repository account does not have mapping/sibling/parent upload permission of the right kind, your client will no longer attempt to upload these content types, and if there is pending count for one of these types, a popup will note this on an upload attempt

    The rest:

    Added https://github.com/NO-ob/LoliSnatcher_Droid to the Client API help!
    Improved some error handling, reporting, and recovery when importing serialised pngs. specific error info is now written to the log as well
    Fixed a secondary error when dropping non-list, non-downloader pngs on Lain's easy downloader import window, and fixed a 'no interesting objects' reporting test when dropping multiple pngs
    Added a 'cache report mode' to help debug image and thumb caching issues
    Refactored the media viewer code to a new 'canvas' submodule
    Improved the error reporting when a thumbnail cannot be generated for a file being imported
    Fixed an error in zoom center calculation when a change zoom event was sent in the split-second during media viewer initialisation
    I think I fixed an issue where pages could sometimes not automatically move on from 'loading initial files' statusbar text when initialising the session
    The requirements.txt now specifies 'requests' 2.23.0 exactly, as newer versions seemed to be giving odd urllib3 attribute binding errors (seems maybe a session thread safety thing) when recovering from connection failures. this should update the macOS build as well as anyone running from source who wants to re-run the requirements.txt. I hacked in a catch for this error case anyway, just a manual retry like a normal connection error, we'll see how it goes (issue #665)
    Patched an unusual file import bug for a flash file with an inverted bounding box that resulted in negative reported resolution. flash now takes absolute values for width and height

Changelog

    Tiled image renderer improvements:

    I believe I fixed the 'non c-contiguous' crash issue with the new tile renderer. I had encountered this while developing, but it was still happening in rare situations--I think in an unlucky edge case where a zoomed tile had the same resolution as the full image rotated by ninety degrees! there is now an additional catch for this situation, as well, to catch any future logical holes.
    Fixed a bug in the new renderer when copying an image to clipboard

    I greatly mitigated the tiling artifacts with two changes:

    Zoomed in tiles are now resized with a padding area of up to 4 pixels, with the actual tile cropped afterwards, which allows bilinear and lancsoz interpolation to get accurate neighbour data and have gradient math line up with neighbouring tiles more accurately
    On resize and zoom, media canvases now dynamically change tile size to 'neater' float/integer conversion dimensions to reduce sub-pixel panning alignment artifacts (e.g. if your zoom is 300%, the tile is now going to have a dimension that is a multiple of 3)
    I hacked in a 'rescue offscreen media' calculation after any zoom event. now, if the window is completely out of view after a zoom, it'll snap to the nearest borders, lining against them or overlapping into a buffer zone depending on the zoom. let me know what you think!
    I fixed a PyQt5 specific object tracking bug, I think the new renderer now works ok for PyQt5!
    Cleaned up some ugly code in the resize section that may have been resulting in incorrect interpolation algorithm choice in some situations
    Fixed a divide by zero issue when zooming out tiny images hugely (e.g. 32x32 at 1%)
    Media windows now try to have at least 1x1 size, just to catch some other weird error situations
    Similarly, tile and native sample sizes will have a minimum of size 1x1, which should fix issues during a delayed startup (issue #872)
    Cleaned up some misc media viewer and tile renderer code

    The rest:

    I started the next round of database optimisation tech, mostly testing out a pipeline upgrade. autocomplete fetching and wildcard file searching for very large queries should be a little faster to cancel now, and in some situations they should be a little faster. they may be slower for very small jobs, but I expect it to be unnoticeable. if you feel autocomplete is suddenly slow and laggy, let me know!
    I optimised the basic 'ideal sibling normalisation' database query. this is used in a lot of places, so the little saving here should improve a bunch of work
    I greatly optimised autocomplete sibling population, particularly for searches with a lot of tag results
    I brushed up the tag import options UI: changed the 'use defaults' checkbox to a dropdown with clear labels for both modes; renamed the 'fetch tags even if' tag import options to 'force page fetch', which is a better description, and added tooltips to describe their ideal use; added tooltips to blacklist and whitelist; and hid the 'load from defaults' button if not set to view specific options
    Added a 'imgur single media file url' File URL Class, which points to direct file links without a referral header, which should fix some situations where these urls were pointed to by other site parsers
    Collections now store the most recent import timestamp of their contents as the aggregate for time imported. previously they had no value, so would sort randomly with each other. collections therefore now sort by time imported reliably with each other, even if there is no 'correct' answer here
    These new timestamps and service presence generally, and aggregated archive/inbox status, (all of which can update thumbnail display) is now recalculated when files are removed from the collection. so, hitting right-click->remove->inbox will now update collections with a mix of archived and inboxed to remove the inbox icon immediately
    As the "Retry has no attribute..." network errors have appeared in new forms, I gave the core of the problem another look. we could never really figure this out, but it seemed to be a network version thread safety issue. I think I have ruled this out, and I now believe these may have been occuring during faulty pickling during network session save/load. I fixed the problem here, so with luck this issue will not reappear--if you have had this a lot, let me know how you get on!
    I broke the requirements.txt into several variants based on platform. we are going to try to pin down good fixed versions of python-mpv and requests/urllib3 for each platform
    I also updated the 'running from source' help significantly, moving everything to the requirements.txt and making sections for things like FFMPEG and libmpv
    Also updated the source and contact help around my work style and contact preferences
    The test.py file now only does the final input() confirmation if there is an interactive stdin to respond

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

    Tiled renderer:

    The tiled renderer now has an additional error catching layer for tile rendering and coordinate calculation and should be immune to to the crashes we have seen from unhandled errors inside Qt paint events
    When a tile fails to render, a full black square will be used instead. additional error information is quickly printed to the log
    Fixed a tile coordinate bug related to viewer initialisation and shutdown. when the coordinate space is currently bugnuts, now nothing is drawn
    If the image renderer encounters a file that appears to have a different resolution to that stored in the db, it now gives you a popup and automatically schedules a metadata regen job for that file. this should catch legacy files with EXIF rotation that were imported before hydrus understood that info
    When a file completes a metadata regen, if the resolution changed it now schedules a force-regen of the thumbnail too

    The rest:

    Added a prototype 'delete lock' for archived files to options->files and trash (issue #846). this will be expanded in future when the metadata conditional object is made to lock various other file states, and there will be some better UI feedback, a padlock icon or similar, and some improved dialog texts. if you use this, let me know how you get on!
    You can now set a custom namespace sort in the file sort menu. you have to type it manually, like when setting defaults in the options, but it will save with the page and should load up again nicely in the dialog if you edit it. this is an experiment in prep for better namespace sort edit UI
    Fixed an issue sorting by namespaces when one of those namespaces was hidden in the 'single media' tag context. now all 'display' tags are used for sort comparison groups. if users desire the old behaviour, we'll have to add an option, so let me know
    The various service-level processing errors when update files are missing or janked out now report the actual hash of the bad update file. I am chasing down one of these errors with a couple of users and cannot quite figure out why the repair code is not auto-fixing things
    Fixed a problem when the system tray gets an activate event at unlucky moments
    The default media viewer zoom centerpoint is now the mouse
    Fixed a typo in the client api with wildcard/namespace tag search--sorry for the trouble!

    Some boring multiple local file services cleanup:

    If you have a mixture of trash and normal thumbnails selected, the right-click menu now has separate choices for 'delete trash' and 'delete selected' 'physically now'
    If you have a mixture of trash and normal thumbnails selected, the advanced delete dialog now similarly provides separate 'physical delete' options for the trashed vs all
    Media viewer, preview viewer, and thumbnail view delete menu service actions are now populated dynamically. it should say 'delete from my files' instead of just 'delete'
    In some file selection contexts, the 'remote' filter is renamed to 'not local'
