>"The hydrus releases are 64-bit only." That was really bad news after my half-day reading about and planning a future, and how I will co-develop the hydros engine or a fork of it…. :-( Why???…. The Python is a multiplatform and hi-level language (even a script language). Why you all gaming maniacs make 64bit-only software?.. Of course, I will not change my tuned computer for one of 64bit-only apps. Several months of work to tune up Windows again, to test some app?.. No, thanks.

There are also a couple of new applications for the Client API. Update this week will take a few seconds to a few minutes as new database indices are created. sibling and search speeds Thanks to feedback from some PTR-syncing HDD users, the new siblings update code, most importantly in step 407->408, takes way too long for them - perhaps more than 24 hours. I have written a little yes/no dialog popup into the update step that talks about this and optionally activates a 'lite' mode that does not apply siblings. This still requires some basic cache copying work, but it is significantly less. If you are still on 407 or before and have been waiting to update, please give this a go and let me know how it works for you.

I put a lot of time into this this week and was very successful - some sections take 10% less time, some 90%, and one critical query now takes 99% less time. It depends on many factors, but many things are faster overall. In particular, tag processing speed, which took a real hit, is back up to good speed, and setting new tag sibling application rules now only needs to regenerate for changed siblings, so if you add (or remove) your own five 'my tags' siblings onto the PTR, the client now only has to do two seconds of work, not ten minutes.

>>14692 That 408 update >>14654 involved a lot a big db work, I am afraid. It should accelerate, as the early numbers are the heavy ones, but it may just not be feasible on an HDD, especially in a high latency situation. The PTR is mostly SSD-only now. If it is still chugging along, you should be able to cancel and just install 406. In tomorrow's release, the code that does this works faster. The speed-up will be retroactive to that update step, if you want to try again with v410. If you have not cancelled it already, and it has accelerated, it is probably worth just letting it finish. That combined part, though heavy, should be the last step. There will be another heavy update for v412, but not as big.

I had a great couple of weeks moving tag siblings forward. The client now handles siblings more quickly and accurately using a new database cache. They are easier to undo going forward, and you can also choose where siblings apply on a per-service basis (e.g. turning off the PTR's default siblings and using your own instead).

The update this week will take some time as a new cache is generated. On an SSD with the PTR synced, about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how many files you have. Some of the new tag sibling application rules may have 5-10 minute delays on edit as well. If you have a large/PTR client and are on an HDD, or you would rather just wait for the kinks to be ironed out, you might like to wait a week or two for me to further optimise this new code. siblings tl;dr: Siblings are faster and better now, you don't have to do anything. Some parents will not appear with new downloads - don't worry about it, they will all fill back in nicely soon. I have finished the first version of the database 'display tags' cache. This is a long-planned system that keeps track of how tags are 'collapsed' by siblings on an ongoing basis. Until now, siblings were always calculated on the fly at the UI level whenever media was loaded, which lead to slow and inaccurate sibling-based search results and a variety of logical problems. Search results generally load much faster now, particularly on subsequent loads.

I had a good, full week that was almost entirely focused on migrating all the multi-column lists in the program to a unified options system. All lists in the program now remember their columns' widths, and those that typically sort now also restore their last sort.

>>14545 Oh, I meant in the system tags, where you have to select "known url", then paste what you want into the field. It would be nice to have a shortcut to get to that field, or maybe the option to just search for URLs directly.

A few requests/suggestions Anonymous 07/17/2020 (Fri) 01:18:27 Id: 6dd46f No. 14555 [Reply]

But there are a few improvement suggestions I'd like to make, if that's ok? They're pretty small (except for the last one) but I have no idea how to code anything so maybe it's harder than I think… but regardless, here they are: -It would be very convenient for editing tags if the selection for editing tags was not inside any arrow side menus. So if you right click, the option for "Edit Tags" would just be at the top of the menu, instead of having to hover over "Manage". The attached picture to this post will show my personal ideal right click menu. -I have a LOT of alternate pictures. Instead of having to go through the right click menus to check if there are any alternates, could there be an icon that tells you whether a picture has alternates or not on the thumbnail? Similar to the Notes icon that was added not long ago. -In addition to the previous one and like the first request, could the alternate grouping option be put in a more convenient spot in the menu instead of having to go through "manage > file relationships > set relationships > set alternate"? Maybe I'm the only one that has a lot of alternates (I get a lot of art from pixiv and artists love to have multiple images per post with slight variations between them)? But imo this is a very tedious way of setting images as alternates. It would be awesome if the button was just there when the menu is opened, instead of having to hover and guide the mouse cursor over a bunch of side menus. -To add a new page, could there be a "+" button, similar to adding a new tab in an internet browser? -And my biggest and most difficult request: having a sort of "folder" system. This would allow folders or archive files of manga to be added to the database. You could make it so that you add all the pages normally, but then you can add a grouping that turns it into a folder of sorts. Maybe when you decide to view the 'folder', it opens a new tab with all the pages? This would be extremely cool, as I like to collect digital manga as well as pictures, and as of now, I cannot sort my manga beyond making folders in Windows Explorer. Which isn't a very good way to sort manga… If you take the time to read this and consider it, I thank you very much. And I also thank you for working on and updating this program, it has been a game changer for me.

Aww no, I made a mistake! I typed this in notepad and when copying it to here, I accidentally missed the first two paragraphs. I'm very sorry about that. Here it is: Hey there, I apologize if making a new thread isn't warranted for this but it's not really a simple Q&A question, so… I use Hydrus Client for sorting through my massive image collection every day and this program really is amazing. Never before have I been able to find my favorite images so fast.

One more thing actually: if you think these ideas aren't good or you don't have the time to implement them, then is it hard for a complete noob in programming to go into the source code and find the menu code and change it to suit my needs? Making the menu have easier access to alternates and slightly easier access to editing tags would be wonderful for me, but maybe it wouldn't be for other people.

Dev has said he wants right click menus to be entirely customizable, but that is probably not a very high priority feature so don't expect it anytime soon. Meanwhile I suggest you learn the keyboard shortcuts. F3 is manage tags, F9 is new page etc. Change or set them up yourself in File > Shortcuts menu. I have "set alternates" as shift+a, for example.

They now remember their column widths and sort. multi-column lists All the tables across the program are now plugged into a unified options structure. This remembers the lists' columns' widths, so if you resize the manage subscriptions list a little tighter, then the next time you load that dialog, it should come back the same. The lists across the program that automatically start and maintain a sort (e.g. manage subs, or the query list in a downloader page), also remember if you change the sort.

I had a good week. As well as misc cleanup and bug fixes, I added a namespace filter to 'system:number of tags', so you can now search for files with 2 series tags, more than four character tags, or any combination you can think of. Most 'number of tags' searches are faster, as well. The release should be as normal tomorrow.

If your search results in no files, instead of the old '0 files', you'll get 'no results for this search', and 'search cancelled!' if the search was cancelled, and so on. It just adds a bit of quick feedback to some actionslike highlighting a gallery query with no new fileswhere the new blank page may just be replacing another blank page.

I was knocked out for a couple days from illness, but I otherwise had a great couple of weeks doing small work. Shortcuts are nicer to work with, a bunch of UI is cleaned up and fixed, and tag import options now supports an explicit whitelist for requiring tags for file import. The release should be as normal tomorrow.

This is mostly a bugfix release that tweaks how the new subscriptions work and fixes some downloader update issues. There is also an important new way to make feature suggestions for hydrus. mostly misc work this week Now that subscriptions can run in small efficient pieces, I removed several old limiters that stopped the old system running too often. Subscriptions should boot with less delay when needed (e.g. after the client loads or when you ok the dialog after changes), and an old system that batched queries together is gone, so if a query is due, it should run generally as soon as it can.
