Changelog

[New]

    iTunes online search.

[Changed]

    The executables of Data Crow are now signed by my own official certificate. This means no more issues with virus scanners and no more unknown publisher messages for Windows users. I had to update the datacrow-install module to include the signing. This will only work on my build machines as the certificate is private to myself. There is no code hidden from you, it’s still true to form for an open source project. All other developers won’t be able to do is to generate the official Data Crow executables.
    The web modules is now configured for HTTPS (only). A default self signed certificate has been added. This can be used for internal / local network use. If the application needs to be running in a web environment it is recommended to add a valid certificate which can be configured in ssl/datacrow-ssl.properties. Always go to the HTTPS version in the browser when navigating to the web module from now on.
    Changed all Data Crow product icons.
    The main application icon now consists of multiple sizes to allow support for multiple displaying purposes.
    Discogs maximum search results has been increased (online services pack version 1.4).
    Reintroduced the donation question.
    Updated the completely outdated About dialog contents.
    Added an executable for the server version.

[Fixed]

    Web module did not show the login page correctly.
    Web module you needed to login twice in order to get into the application (a 4.2.2 issue)
    Web module: download button was too large.
    Donate plugin was outdated and donate dialog pointed to the old site.
    Some fields were not translatable on the loan panel (item form > loan administration)
    Added an additional check when looking for the current active module to prevent incorrect startup errors.
    The font was incorrect on opening the help section.
    There was an issue with loading items in case the ordering was set on a non-text field (this issue was introduced in version 4.5).

Movies by CraigWorks is an application that combines a movie collection organizer and a home theater PC software in one. Unlike most movie organizers, this application runs as web server and is accessed using a standard web browser like IE, Firefox and Chrome, so the interface is very familiar and easy to use.

    Misc:

    Thanks to a user, export folders finally support exporting to symlinks!
    If a symlink export-create fails on Windows, the error now tells you to try again in 'run as Admin' mode--seems like this is needed in Win 10+ unless you mess with Group Policy Editor
    'related tags' should no longer suggest sibling ideals or parents of existing tags! I think!
    When a thumbnail fails to load, the error popup now has a button to open the specific problem-causing file in a new page
    Generation of video thumbnails is faster, should fail less in odd cases, and when it completely fails, it now gives the hydrus icon as a final fallback
    Generation of image thumbnails now falls back to the hydrus icon as a final fallback
    I think I fixed a focus logic problem where the autocomplete dropdowns on the duplicate filter page would hide if you clicked a results/favourites tab or greyspace
    Fixed an error when seeking an mpv video while the video was loading or unloading
    The max 'nullification period' (after which uploads to a hydrus repository are anonymised) is raised from 1 year to 5 (needs server and client update to work)

    Transparency and duplicate filter:

    Two new options, under media and duplicates, now control if you would like transpararency-having images to have a checkerboard background rather than the normal media canvas background! you can have it on all the time or just under the duplicate filter. it uses the same style of grid as MPV
    I have a plan for proper native (non-MPV) transparency for gifs and apng, but I think I'll wait for an imagemagick plugin I am planning first
    If you have a white/black media viewer background and prefer not to use the checkerboard, the duplicate filter can now adjust the background colour, either lighter or darker, for both A and B of the pair. altering A as well exposes truly transparent-having images vs ones with opaque white/black fill, which will otherwise blend into a purely white/black background colour. these options are available in the options dialog and the duplicate filter right-hand hover window cog button
    The native image window, embed button, and animation window (with PIL gif rendering) now all adjust their background colour to any odd changes like the duplicate filter's A/B lighten/darken adjustment

    Boring cleanup:

    Cleaned up how popup file buttons are set and cleared
    Cleaned up how popup main and secondary texts are set and cleared
    Misc linting cleanup

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 improvements:

    Tl;dr: I went through the whole tag autocomplete search pipeline, cleaned out the cruft, and made the pre-fetch results more sensible. searching for tags on thumbnails isn't horrible any more!
    When you type a tag search, either in search or edit autocomplete contexts, and it needs to spend some time reading from the database, the search now always does the 'exact match' search first on what you typed. if you type in 'cat', it will show 'cat' and 'species:cat' and 'character:cat' and anything else that matches 'cat' exactly, with counts, and easy to select, while you are waiting for the full autocomplete results to come back
    In edit contexts, this exact-matching pre-fetch results here now include sibling suggestions, even if the results have no count
    In edit contexts, the full results should more reliably include sibling suggestions, including those with no count. in some situations ('all known tags'), there may be too many siblings, so let me know!
    The main predicate sorting method now sorts by string secondarily, stabilising the sort between same-count preds
    When the results list transitions from pre-fetch results to full results, your current selection is now preserved!!! selecting and then hitting enter right when the full results come in should be safe now!
    When you type on a set of full results and it quickly filters down on the results cache to a smaller result, it now preserves selection. I'm not sure how totally useful this will be, but I did it anyway. hitting backspace and filtering 'up' will reset selection
    When you search for tags on a page of thumbnails, you should now get some early results super fast! these results are lacking sibling data and will be replaced with the better answer soon after, but if you want something simple, they'll work! no more waiting ages for anything on thumbnail tag searches!
    Fixed an issue where the edit autocomplete was not caching results properly when you had the 'unnamespaced input gives (any namespace) wildcard results' option on
    The different loading states of autocomplete all now have clear 'loading...' labels, and each label is a little different based on what it is doing, like 'loading sibling data...'
    I generally cleared out jank. as the results move from one type to another, or as they filter down as you type, they should flicker less
    Added a new gui debug mode to force a three second delay on all autocomplete database jobs, to help simulate slow searches and play with the above
    NOTE: autocomplete has a heap of weird options under tags->manage tag display and search. I'm really happy with the above changes, but I messed around with the result injection rules, so I may have broken one of the combinations of wildcard rules here. let me know how you get on and I'll fix anything that I busted.

    Pympler:

    Hydrus now optionally uses 'pympler', a python memory profiling library. for now, it replaces my old python gc (garbage collection) summarising commands under help->debug->memory actions, and gives much nicer formatting and now various estimates of actual memory use. this is a first version that mostly just replicates old behaviour, but I added a 'spam a more accurate total mem size of all the Qt widgets' in there too. I will keep developing this in future. we should be able to track some memory leaks better in future
    Pympler is now in all the requirements.txts, so if you run from source and want to play with it, please reinstall your venv and you'll be sorted. help->about says whether you have it or not

    Misc:

    The system:time predicates now allow you to specify the hh:mm time on the calendar control. if needed, you can now easily search for files viewed between 10pm-11:30pm yesterday. all existing 'date' system predicates will update to midnight. if you are a time-search nerd, note this changes the precision of existing time predicates--previously they searched before/after the given date, but now they search including the given date, pivoting around the minute (default: 0:00am) rather than the integer calendar day! 'same day as' remains the same, though--midnight to midnight of the given calendar day
    If hydrus has previously initial-booted without mpv available and so set the media view options for video/animations/audio to 'show with native viewer', and you then boot with mpv available, hydrus now sets your view options to use mpv and gives a popup saying so. trying to get mpv to work should be a bit easier to test now, since it'll popup and fix itself as soon as you get it working, and people who never realised it was missing and fix it accidentally will now get sorted without having to do anything extra
    Made some small speed and memory optimisations to content processing for busy clients with large sessions, particularly those with large collect-by'd pages
    Also boosted the speed of the content update pipeline as it consults which files are affected by which update object
    The migrate tags dialog now lets you filter the tag source by pending only on tag repositories
    Cleaned up some calendar/time code
    Updated the Client API help on how Hydrus-Client-API-Access-Key works in GET vs POST arguments
    Patched the legacy use of 'service_names_to_tags' in /add_urls/add_url in the client api. this parameter is more obsolete than the other legacy names (it got renamed a while ago to 'service_names_to_additional_tags'), but I'm supporting it again, just for a bit, for Hydrus Companion users stuck on an older version. sorry for the trouble here, this missed my legacy checks!

Changelog

    New:

    Archive.org software online book, software and movie search.Open Library (openlibrary.org) online book search. The online search fetches edition information and work information.
    Added a new Look and Feel: FlatLaf Light. This is a more modern Look and Feel which is still actively developed (https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/). This will be the default Look and Feel for Data Crow from now on (for new installations). Find it in Settings Look and Feel Note that on upgrading the system will automatically switch to this skin.

    Changed:

    Now allowing for references to be made to main modules without removing the referenced module from the module menu.
    Now allowing users to alter a module to create a reference to the module itself; allowing for, for example, a field called related software item on a software item.
    Hierarchy view for containers will now show all items per container + the items of children of the selected container.
    Small performance increase for the MobyGames.com search
    Added two new fields to the Book module: translated from & original title
    Small changes to the overall layout; update the module selection bar, removed line around the main menu, increased spacing for many of the components.
    Better spacing of long texts in the quick view.
    Icon size can now be changed: Settings Look and Feel Icon Size. Note that currently all icons as part of the Data Crow data are stored at a size of 16x16. If you change an icon it will be stored at 128*128 (if the original size allows for it) so it can adjust to any selected icon size. The maximum is currently 40*40. All UI elements have been optimized to allow displaying the larger icons.
    Selecting clear for the online search will now only clear the results, not the search terms.
    Look and Feel: removed CDE/Motif and Windows Classic - outdated.

    Fixed:

    Errors for Data Crow client in case the server was not responding when logging on.
    Filtering on references didn't work (sometimes).
    Module disappears completely when a reference field is added referencing itself (reference field on software pointing to software).
    The log window (CTRL+L) did not show latest entries.
    The server edition sometimes gave errors on saving new items.
    Ratings for Mobygames.com online search were incorrect.
    Errors when retrieving back covers when performing an online searching using The Movie Database.
    Fixed an issue with the module selection buttons where for some skins the selection color overflowed.
    Luna was shown twice as a Look and Feel in the drop-down.
    Aligned the quick view bottom with the other screen elements.
    Incorrect text margins in various text and tag fields - all have been optimized to work best with the newly introduced Look and Feel

Changelog

    Inc/dec ratings service:

    I have written a new number 'rating' service type, called 'inc/dec'. it is simply a no-upper-limit positive integer--you left-click to increment, right to decrement. middle-click to edit directly
    It appears and works like other ratings in the top-right media viewer hover and the manage ratings dialog. there's a section under system:ratings too. the main logical difference is every file is always rated in this system--the default for all files is 0--so there's no searching for 'unrated'
    The duplicate merge options support this new inc/dec rating by adding/summing in one or both directions. its action labels in the dialog are a little different because of this

    Misc:

    The manage tag siblings dialog now shows all members of a chain when it filters the current in-view pairs according to the current pertinent tags. previously, it just showed the pairs that included your entered tags; now it chases everything
    The same is also now broadly true of manage tag parents, but there's a checkbox that sets how crazy it goes. by default it won't pursue 'cousins', since that can make a really overwhelming list (imagine seeing every character nintendo ever created, including every pokemon, when you just wanted to add a samus costume variant). more work can and will be done here, also with sibling-cross referencing
    The system:ratings panel now lists the groups of rating services in alphabetical order
    Fixed an issue where the hydrus native animation renderer was drawing animations at small size in the top-left with garbled surrounds when the monitor UI scale was >100% (issue #1334)
    I think I have hacked an ugly fix for the 'this window keeps growing horizontally until it reaches the width of the screen' bug that hits some people. the sizing code is now supposed to recognise when this happens and stop it in place. if you get this problem, let me know if it is fixed or what! (issue #1331)
    If a file in the duplicate filter (or any other media viewer, if you can wangle it) has a 'show action' of 'do not show in the media viewer' or 'do not show, open externally on thumbnail activate', the media viewer now falls back to 'show open externally button'. previously, it was halting in an ugly state and no longer able to proceed (issue #1329)
    If repository processing runs into any missing/invalid file trouble, it now queues up a wider array of potential file maintenance jobs, assuming there may be a problem with the file records themselves
    If, during repository processing, an update file is missing, the error note now asks users to run database->maintenance->clear orphan file records. might be that the above fix helps here too, but this will be the sledgehammer solution on top, clearing up unusual cases where one service thinks the files exist when actually they don't
    Fixed the recent 'when ffmpeg can't generate a video thumb, use hydrus thumb' routine to cover more situations
    Thanks to a user, fixed a bunch of unit tests for python 3.11

    Misc cleanup:

    Updated my async updater object to handle some pre-call UI-side argument-construction and cleaned up some related garbage shared memory hacks I had before
    In a step towards less laggy sibling/parents dialogs, I have moved the 'manage tag siblings' dialog's list-filtering routine to a thread. I'll do parents too, sometime, and plan to eventually move to very fast on-demand existing-pair fetching based on the above lookup rule improvements rather than the super laggy 'load everything on dialog boot' current system. a next big step would obviously be visual graph representation of sibling and parent chains
    Cleaned some ratings code and fixed some weird little bugs like numerical rating tooltips not updating properly after a click
    Added some unit tests for inc/dec ratings

    Server admin:

    (the server and client both need to be updated to get this)
    I updated and reinstated the old 'superban' function for janitors! it is now just 'delete all account content' on the account modification dialog, separate from the banning process. note that since the server only remembers account ownership of content through the anonymisation period, it cannot auto-remove content older than that date!
    The account info you see in the modify account dialog now only shows file count/bytes for file repositories and tag counts for tag repositories. to improve readability, it also shows every key/value pair on a separate line, sorted by keys
    That account info now shows, for tag repositories, number of current, pending, and petitioned sibling and parent rows, and it shows number of petitioned mapping rows. all this stuff obviously goes to 0 if you hit 'delete all account content'--let me know if any of it doesn't!
    The modify accounts dialog no longer shows the 'null' account type as a choice to set things to. duh! its yes/no also now confirms the account type you are settting
    All the commands in the modify accounts dialog now have nicer yes/no dialogs that say the number of accounts being affected and talk more about what is happening
    Fixed up some logical jank in the dialog. adding time to expires no longer tells you about 0 accounts having no expiry, and if circumstances mean 0 accounts are selected/valid for an operation, it no longer says 'want to set expiry for 0 accounts?' etc...
    When modifying multiple accounts, the current account focus/selection is now preserved through list refreshes after jobs go through
