Changelog

    New scanbar cleanup:

    The media container's scanbar and volume control are now combined on the same widget, meaning they now show/hide in sync and faster. their layout calculation is also more sensible. the new controls bar also has a thin border to make it pop better against a background video
    Improved the way some auto-hide anti-flicker tech on the scanbar now works. it all hides a frame faster sometimes
    Figured out some new anti-flicker tech to reduce/eliminate a frame of stretch when flicking from a static image to an mpv video, particularly for the first or second time in a session
    Fixed a bug where clicking the global mute/unmute on an mpv player meant that certain shortcut keys (usually those with arrow keys) would not work on that player again. (it was a focus issue on the button, which then captured some form navigation keys but they had nowhere to go)
    Brushed up some mouse coordinate testing logic across the program. some linux clients had trouble with the new animation scanbar popping up over mpv, I think I improved it!
    Fixed another type problem with newer python/PyQt5 on Arch, also in scanbar coordinate testing
    Fixed some dodgy colours in the scanbar initialisation and volume control border
    MacOS users: I undid a long-time paint hack on the media container and the static image canvas. Qt is responsible for clearing the background again, which allows me to remove some jank anti-flicker tech. HOWEVER, the original reason for this hack was because without it, old macOS went to 100% CPU whenever the media viewer was showing something. therefore, to be safe, this option is still on for macOS users for now. you'll get a little flicker when browsing. please try hitting help->debug->gui actions->macOS anti-flicker test and do some mixed video/image browsing. does your whole damn client lock up?

    Misc:

    The 'file log' and 'search log' buttons are now a new widget class that puts an arrow on the side that opens a menu. the secret right-click menus of these buttons is now exposed for all
    Fixed a bug affecting some greyscale pngs with ICC profiles--they were coming out pure white due to a colourspace conversion problem
    Fixed an import problem when PIL could not load a file (due to file malformation) but OpenCV could. this was causing a failed import from the new ICC profile detection code
    When the downloader hits a broken image file that cannot be imported due to malformation, the status is now 'error' instead of the incorrect 'ignored'
    Fixed the duplicate file filesize comparison statement sometimes showing > in one direction and ? in the other. it happened when the larger file was between 20/19 and 21/20 times the size of the smaller, just a logic typo (issue #1028)
    The trash maintenance daemon is moved from the old threaded daemon system to the new repeating job worker pool. this is the last daemon cleaned up, so I am retiring the old and mostly defunct 'no_daemons' launch argument. a variety of other daemon infrastructure for things like shutdown checks is similarly removed. the program also now waits for the newer daemon jobs to finish working on shutdown
    Moved most client daemon jobs like repository sync and dirty object save down so they start after the first session is loaded rather than right after boot
    If a file is called to regen its thumbnail but currently has no dimension, this is now a no-op rather than an error. in the situation where users force thumb regen before metadata regen and encounter this, it is sorted out later when the metadata regen recognises new dimensions and reschedules the thumb regen
    Added an extensive user-written guide to the --db_synchronous_override launch argument to the launch arguments help page. it is possible and safe to run the program with synchronous=0 as long as certain caveats are obeyed. thanks to the user who figured this out and wrote it up
    The downloader engine now discards source urls in an import job if they have the same domain as any existing primary url. this will ensure that if a booru has a link back to itself as a source url, when the 'source' is really an alternate rather than a dupe, it won't be added in hydrus as a known url for that imported file
    Misc cleanup in downloader system and file/search log UI
    Fixed a type bug in the file and search log 'import from png' action. if you have existing pngs previously exported from here, they will import ok now
    Refactored the various hydrus compression code to a new HydrusCompression file
    Exported serialisable data pngs such as from file or search log that hold simple Strings now always compress the data before embedding it in the png. existing pngs that hold uncompressed strings should still load ok
    The payload in an exported png is now always compressed, and the payload description always states the uncompressed size
    Sped up client shutdown when network traffic has been paused the whole time and a repo sync job might have wanted to run. these jobs also do not hang on a thread worker if network traffic is paused, but they should wake immediately when it is unpaused
    The hydrus login system is now resistant to connection failures; previously it was getting hung up and jamming the whole hydrus sync system when a server was down

    Client api:

    Added GET /manage_database/mr_bones to the Client API. it returns a JSON Object with the same numbers used in the help->how boned am I? dialog
    Incremented Client API version to 23

Changelog

    misc:

    fixed an issue where the one pixel border on the new 'control bar' on the media viewer was annoyingly catching mouse events at the bottom of the screen when in borderless fullscreen mode (and hence dragging the video, not scanning video position). the animation scanbar now owns its own border and processes mouse events on it properly
    fixed a typo bug in the new pixel hash system that meant new imports were not being added to the system correctly. on update, all files affected will be fixed of bad data and scheduled for a pixel hash regen. sorry for the trouble, and thank you for the quick reports here
    added a 'fixed font size example' qss file to the install. I have passed this file to others as an example of a quick way to make the font (and essentially ui scale) larger. it has some help comments inside and is now always available. the default example font size is lmao
    fixed another type checking problem for (mostly Arch/AUR) PyQt5 users (issue #1033)
    wrote a new display mappings maintenance routine for the database menu that repopulates the display mappings cache for missing rows. this task will be radically faster than a full regen for some problems, but it only solves those problems
    on boot, the program now explicitly checks if any of the database files are set as read-only and if so will dump out with an appropriate error
    rewrote my various 'file size problem' exception hierarchy to clearly split 'the file import options disallow this big gif' vs 'this file is zero size/this file is malformed'. we've had several problems here recently, but file import options rule-breaking should set 'ignore' again, and import objects should be better about ignore vs fail state from now on
    added more error handling for broken image files. some will report cleaner errors, some will now import
    the new parsing system that discards source urls if they share a domain with a primary import url is now stricter--now discarding only if they share the same url class. the domain check was messing up saving post urls when they were parsed from an api url (issue #1036)
    the network engine no longer sends a Range header if it is expecting to pull html/json, just files. this fixes fetching pages from nijie.info (and several other server engines, it seems), which has some unusual access rules regarding Range and Accept-Encoding
    fixed a problem with no_daemons and the docker package server scripts (issue #1039)
    if the server engine (serverside or client api) is running a request during program shutdown, it now politely says 'Application is shutting down!' with a 503 rather than going bananas and dumping to log with an uncaught 500
    fixed some bad client db update error handling code

    multiple local file services (system predicate edition):

    system:file service now supports 'deleted' and 'petitioned' status
    advanced 'all known files' search pages now show more system predicates
    when inbox and archive are hidden because one has 0 count, and the search space is simple, system everything now says what they are, e.g. "system:everything (24) (all in inbox)"
    file repos' 'system:local/not local' now sort at the top of the system predicate list, like inbox/archive
    client api:
    the GET /get_files/file_metadata call now returns the file modified date and imported/deleted timestamps for each file service the file is currently in or deleted from. check the help for an example!
    fixed client api file search with random sort (file_sort_type = 4)
    client api version is now 24

    boring multiple local file services work:

    the system predicates listed in a search page dropdown now support the new 'multiple location search context' object, which means in future I will be able to switch over to 'file domain is union of (A, deleted from B, and C)' and all the numbers will add up appropriately with ranged 'x-y' counts and deal with combinations of file repo and local service and current/deleted neatly
    when fetching system preds in 'all known files', the system:everything 'num files' count will be stated if available in the cache
    for the new system:file service search, refactored db level file filtering to support all status types
    cleaned up how system preds are generated

    boring refactoring work:

    moved GUGs from network domain code to their own file
    moved URL Class from network domain code to its own file
    moved the pure functions from network domain code to their own file
    cleared up some file maintenance enum variable names
    sped up random file sort for large result sets
    misc client network code cleanup and type hints, and rejiggered cleaner imports after the refactoring

The Music Collection is a free program that allows you to archive your music collection. Using it you can enter in a collection any kind of music media that you own or you intend to. Also you can add or edit any kind of information concerning the albums in the collection.

The album info can be manually entered or automatically via the Internet. After saving the albums, you can browse them, filter albums by all possible criteria and search for particular album tracks you are interested. Also the program can display and print all data from your music collection in different ways, so you can pick the desired one.

The idea for creating the program was to manage my own music collection and i hope that it would be also useful to any music collector.

Changelog

    Misc:

    The 'search log' button and the window panel now let you delete log entries. you can delete by completion status from the menu or specifically by row in the panel (just like the file log)
    Fixed the new 'file is writable' checks for Linux/macOS, which were testing permissions overbroadly and messing with users with user-only permissions set. the code now hands off specific user/group negotiation to the OS. thanks to the maintainer of the AUR package for helping me out here (issue #1042)
    The various places where a file's permission bits are set are also cleaned up--hydrus now makes a distinction between double-checking a file is set user-writable before deleting/overwriting vs making a file's permission bits (which were potentially messed up in the past) 'nice' for human use after export. in the latter case, which still defaults to 644 on linux/macOS, the user's umask is now applied, so it should be 600 if you prefer that
    Fixed a bug where the media viewer could have trouble initialising video when the player window instantiation was delayed (e.g. with embed button)

    Client api:

    Added 'return_hashes' boolean parameter to GET /get_files/search_files, which makes the command return hashes instead of file ids. this is documented in the help and has a new unit test
    Client api version is now 25

    Multiple local file services work:

    I rewrote a lot of code this week, but it proved more complex than I expected. I also discovered I'll have to switch the pages and canvases over too before I can nicely switch the top level UI over to allow multiple search. rather than release a borked feature, I decided not to rush the final phase, so this remains boring for now! the good news is that it works well when I hack it in, so I just need to keep pushing
    Rewrote the caller side of tag autocomplete lookup to work on the new multiple file search domain
    Rewrote the main database level tag lookup code to work on the new multiple file search domain
    Certain types of complicated tag autocomplete lookup, particularly on all known tags and any client with lots of siblings, will be faster now
    An unusual and complicated too-expansive sibling lookup on autocomplete lookups on 'all known tags' is now fixed

    Boring cleanup and refactoring:

    Predicate counts are now managed by a new object. predicates also support 0 minimum count for x-y count ranges, which is now possible when fetching count results from non-cross-referenced file domains (for now this means searching deleted files)
    Cleaned up a ton of predicate instantiation code
    Updated autocomplete, predicate, and pred count unit tests to handle the new objects and bug fixes
    Wrote new classess to cover convenient multiple file search domain at the database level and updated a bunch of tag autocomplete search code to use it
    Misc cleanup and refactoring for file domain search code
    Purged more single file service inspection code from file search systems
    Refactored most duplicate files storage code (about 70KB) to a new client db module

[close]

[SiLæncer]

Changelog

    Multiple file services:

    I finished the conversion of all UI search to the new multiple location object. everything from back- to frontend now supports cleverer search. since searching deleted files is simple to add, users in advanced mode will now see 'deleted from...' in a new list in the tag autocomplete dropdown file domain button
    the next step is writing a widget that allows multiple selection, and then all this should work right out of the box, and we'll be an important step closer to allowing multiple local file services

    Misc:

    the video parsing routine is better at detecting when a present audio track is actually silent (and hence when it should mark a video as 'no audio'). all video with audio will be requeued for a metadata reparse in the files maintenance system on update
    fixed an error from last week when trying to create a new page from the tags (e.g. middle-clicking them) in the active search list
    added 'audio mkv' format to the client, to represent mkvs without a video track. I think most of the time this is going to be audio track webms from youtube-dl and similar
    added 'file relationships: set files as potential duplicates' command to the 'media actions' shortcut set
    I expanded the 'backing up' section in 'installing and updating' help
    I wrote an 'anti-virus' section for 'installing and updating' help, since I kept writing the same basic spiel about false positives. please feel free to point people there in future to relieve their concerns
    improved some shutdown tests, the client and server should exit faster in some cases (e.g. when a hydrus repository network job is hanging on reconnection attempts, holding up the 'synchronise_repository' daemon shutdown)
    the 'file was xxx at (y timestamp), which was (z time units) before this check' line in file import notes now always puts 'z time units' as that, ignoring the 'always show ISO time' setting, which was just substituting it with 'y timestamp' again. let me know if you spot other bad grammar with this setting on, I'll fix it!
    fingers crossed, images in the LAB colourspace should now normalise to sRGB with the correct whitepoint. thanks to the user who provided example test tiff images here. this now uses the new PIL-based colourspace conversion I used to make ICC profiles work, just on LAB->sRGB. as far as I understand, OpenCV uses a fixed whitepoint of D65, resulting in yellow/warm conversions for some formats, but PIL may be able to figure out if D50 is needed??? if you have some crazy LUV or YPbPr or YIQ image that shows up wrong, please send it in and I'll see what I can do!

    Boring rewrites and cleanup while doing file service work:

    many more UI objects now store and do file service logic using a more complicated 'location context', which can store a mix of multiple services and 'deleted from service' data. all the search code that works on this can now propagate to display:
    the management objects behind every page now store a multiple location object, not a single file service id
    all media panels (the thumbnail grid on a page) are now instantiated by a multiple location object, and when they serve a highlighted downloader, they now inherit that from the file import options, which in future will dictate import destinations
    all canvases are now the same, inheriting their new location context from their parents
    all tag lists are the same. mostly they don't care much about file domain, but when you middle-click to create new pages from the autocomplete dropdown list or active search list, it can matter, so they now propagate it along
    the underlying medialist objects are now the same, and various delete logic (e.g. 'should we remove this thumb we just deleted?') is updated to work on complex domains
    some duplicate lookup code now works on location context
    renamed 'location search context' object to 'location context' since it is used all over now and put it in its own file. also wrote it some neater initialisation and meta object code
    mr bones now gives duplicate data based on the union of all non-trash local services sans update files (another case of now supporting n services but n is fixed for the moment at 1, 'my files')
    a bunch of places across the program that used to default to 'my files' or 'all local files' (which is everything on disk, including trash and repository update files) now default to this new union of all non-trash local media services
    when doing page-to-page file drag and drops, the location context is now preserved (previously, the new page would always be 'my files')
    whole heap of other cleanup in these systems
    when a thumbnail cannot be provided (for deleted files or many 'all known files' situations), the thumbnail cache now provides the hydrus icon stand-in instantly, no delayed waterfall
    fixed an unusual situation where the file search could not provide a file in a tagless search when that file had no detailed file info row in the database. this seems to effect a legacy borked row or two in the new deleted file domain searches
    removed some ancient dumper status code from thumbnail objects

Changelog

    Times:

    If you have file viewing stats turned on (by default it is), the client will now track the 'last viewed time' of your files, both in preview and media viewers. a record is only made assuming they pass the viewtime checks under options->file viewing statistics (so if you scroll through really quick but have it set to only record after five seconds of viewing, it will not save that as the last viewed time). this last viewed time is shown on the right-click menu with the normal file viewing statistics
    Sorting by 'import time' and 'modified time' are moved to a new 'time' subgroup in the sort button menu
    Also added to 'time' is 'last viewed time'. note that this has not been tracked until now, so you will have to look at a bunch of things for a few seconds each to get some data to sort with
    To go with 'x time' pattern, 'time imported' is renamed to 'import time' across the program. both should work for system predicate parsing
    System:'import time' and 'modified time' are now bundled into a new 'system:time' stub in the system predicates list. the window launched from here is an experimental new paged panel. I am not sure I really like it, but let's see how it works IRL
    'system:last view time' is added to search the new field! give it a go once you have some data
    Also note that the search and sort of last viewed time works on the 'media viewer' number. those users who use preview or combined numbers for stuff, let me know if and how you would like that to work here--sort/search for both media and preview, try to combine based on the logic in the options, or something else?

    Loading serialised pngs:

    The client can now load serialised downloader-pngs if they are a perfect RGB conversion of an original greyscale export.
    The pngs don't technically have to be pngs anymore! if you drag and drop an image from firefox, the temporary bitmap exported and attached to the DnD should work!
    The lain easy downloader import now has a clipboard paste button. it can take regular json text, and now, bitmap data!
    The 'import->from clipboard' button action in many multiple column lists across the program (e.g. manage parsers) (but not every list, a couple are working on older code) also now accepts bitmap data on the clipboard
    The various load errors here are also improved

    Custom widget colors:

    (advanced users only for now)
    After banging my head against it, I finally figured out an ok way to send colors from a QSS style file to python code. this means I can convert my custom widgets to inherit colours from the current QSS. I expect to migrate pretty much everything currently fixed over to this, except tag colours and maybe some thumbnail border stuff, and retire the old darkmode
    If you are a QSS lad, please check out the new entries at the bottom of default_hydrus.qss and play around with them in your own QSSes. please do not send me any updates to be folded in to the install yet as I still have a bunch of other colours to add. this week is just a test--please let me know how it works for you

    Misc:

    Mouse release events no longer trigger a command in the shortcuts system if the release happens more than about 20 pixels from the original mouse down. this is tricky, so if you are into clever shortcuts, let me know how it works for you
    The file maintenance manager (which has been getting a lot of work recently with icc profiles, pixel dupes, some thumb regen, and new audio channel checks), now saves its work and publishes updates faster to the UI, at least once every ten seconds
    The sort entries in the page sort control are now always sorted according to their full (type, name) string, and the mouse-wheel-to-navigate is now fixed to always mirror this
    Improved some 'delete file reason' handling. currently, a file deletion reason should only be applied when a file is entering trash. there was a bug that force-physical-deleting files from trash would overwrite their original deletion reason. this is now fixed. the advanced delete files dialog now disables the whole reason panel better when needed, never sends a file reason down to the database when there should be no reason, disables the panel if all the files are in the trash, and at the database level when file deletion reasons are being set, all files are filtered for status beforehand to ensure none are accidentally set by other means. I am about to make trash more intelligent as part of multiple local file services, so I expect to revisit this soon
    The new ICC Profile conversion no longer occurs on I or F mode files. there are weird 32/64 bit monochrome files, and mode/ICC conversion goes whack with current PIL code
    Replaced the critical hamming test in the duplicate files system with a different bit-counting strategy that works about 9% faster. hamming test is used in all duplicate file searching, so this should help out a tiny bit in a lot of places

    Boring cleanup:

    Cleaned up how media viewer canvas type is stored and tested in many places
    All across the program, file viewing statistics are now tracked by type rather than a hardcoded double of preview & media viewer. it will take a moment to update the database to reflect this this week
    Cleaned up a ton of file viewing stats code
    Cleared out the last twenty or so uses of the old 'execute many select' database access routine in favour of the new lower-overhead and more query-optimisable temporary integer tables method
