>>14417 Yeah, a dropdown would work, if I am allowed to fit it in. Some of the 'notebook' code is still a bit borked by wx->Qt hacks, so once I get to clearing it out, I'll have a look at how much I can edit it. I think I can replace the QTabBar with my own subclassed control, so that's a possible. In my searching, it looked like there is some code floating around that may do multirow already, so I'll see if that is available to use in python.

>>14429 Shortcut keys for next/previous tab might also help make it faster to navigate

>>14431 Thanks, I will add this to my todo.

>>14331 Hey, making downloaders is quite advanced, but if you know web tech like HTML and JSON, it will be easier. My help starts here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/downloader_intro.html That said, there are many user-created downloaders here: https://github.com/CuddleBear92/Hydrus-Presets-and-Scripts/tree/master/Download%20System/All-in-Ones/Single-Sites This looks like it could be for the site you want: https://github.com/CuddleBear92/Hydrus-Presets-and-Scripts/blob/master/Download%20System/All-in-Ones/Single-Sites/allthefallen-2019.08.10.png But I am afraid I have no idea if it works. If you haven't done it before, get the png and drop it onto Lain under network->downloaders->import downloaders.

>>14344 Thank you. I got it on there, but now every file I try to download from there is ignored. Is there a way to disable ignored files? I'm having the same issue with another downloader as well. Its only on the ones I added though.

Whenever I try to change any GUG, url class, or parser key element on this version, I get this popup. Example text for the context doesn't matter, the only key elements that aren't affected are elements that accept all characters. What is happening here?

>>14357 In order to change fixed character/characterset keys to different values without that error appearing, 1. regex should be selected 2. example text changed to match intended key value 3. appropriate key type should be selected. The example text field isn't visible outside of the regex key definition, so it cannot be changed from the default example or previous example it complains about.

I had a great week just fixing bugs and making small improvements. The release should be as normal tomorrow. >>14357 >>14358 Sorry, this is fixed in tomorrow's release! When I hid and stopped overwriting the 'example text' input for 'fixed' type, I forgot to update the 'ok' validity test.

It doesn't work that way. You have to get the files yourself. Hydrus is mostly for organization of files you already have, but it does have features to facilitate getting more.

Also, from the way you talked about "following the best and most active tags", it seems like you don't really understand how tags work either. Take a look at the hydrus manual. It'll explain everything, and, with some exceptions, it's worded simply enough for beginners to understand. https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/index.html

>>14306 >>14285 >>14308 I found a solution that works. It's all in the client already, too! So, first you go to your trash, hit CTRL+A to select every file. Next, you right click and go to "share > copy > hashes > sha256". Now you have all your trash files in the system clipboard. Next, you open up a new page, use "system: similar to", select your parameters (hamming), paste all of the hashes you copied from the trash, and there are all your similar files! Theoretically, at least. It will take a couple of minutes for 200 files, but it's working!

>>14280 For what it's worth I wrote a Go program to convert file system metadata into hydrus tag sidecar files a few years ago when I wanted to import my stuff and have an exit path to export them back out if I needed to. Maybe it's useful to someone in the short term. https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYpD3zqGkcyjogy9mCt2yYqZbL7tR8Tf9ZVMtmprHX5Me If I run hydrus_meta "look a subdirectory" from the "hydrus_meta" directory, it will make a sidecar for files in it that looks like this `look a subdirectory\Mio\21589266.png.txt`
Original Filename:21589266.png
Original FullPath:C:\Users\UserNameRedacted\hydrus_meta\look a subdirectory\Mio
Original ShortPath:Mio
Original Relative Path:look a subdirectory\Mio
Original CreationTime:2020.05.18-07.14.17
Original ModTime:2014.03.03-05.33.15
Creation time only works on Windows, otherwise it uses the modtime for both but it's real easy to change that and the tag format/which tags you want. I also censor the username by default in case they were to accidentally go to the PTR but you can remove that easily too.

I had a good work week. I added some tag autocomplete search options, so you can now enable '*', 'namespace:*', and '"ser" matches "ser*:*"' wildcard searches for particular services, expanded the text processing tools for the users who make downloaders, and also did a little quality of life. The release should be as normal tomorrow.

>>14311 Thanks. I am thinking about it. I don't really want to add the additional data structure of a per-source 'posted time' timestamp, since it is a bunch of extra overhead, but it does make it easier to present a modified date. Also, if I were to build this sort of thing and it turned out most boorus had upload times within a few days, it might not actually prove that useful. I like this idea of bumping the decision to file import options. If a merged modified date fails to account for an interesting situation where different sites' modified dates differ greatly, maybe it could be extended. I am also thinking about the issue that most of us have huge collections with fairly bad modified dates already, and going back to sites to reparse this data would be a big old waste of bandwidth. I'm thinking of writing a small import/export system for modified dates, so users can share this info. I'll get good new modified dates going first though, and we'll solve the retroactive problem later. Just need to find time for it. >>14318 This is cool!

>>14248 >As someone who uses this a lot, what do you think you would like? Either would work, but since it already shows a confirmation window with suggested changes maybe a description and single/all could be integrated into it? >What other menus do you find annoying? Mainly things in the thumbnail menu that used to be easy accessible in older versions being moved into submenus and lower on the menu, for example "remove > selected" "manage > tags" and "open > in external program". And when you right click a tag "copy > x". Maybe it's because I learned the older layouts first that it was annoying for me. The menu is better organized now and a little more cumbersome, but perhaps better for new users. I just learned to use shortcut keys instead where possible. Menus aren't great in other places but it's less of an issue there since it's not ones you use often.

>>14208 >Beyond that, I'd love some note 'preview' on the media viewer and comprehensive import/export/Client API support for notes. Does that mean there's a chance that we could get something similar to how it works on Danbooru or am I misunderstanding? I don't know if that's feasible but it would be amazing. I'm talking about stuff like this: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3900728

I had an ok week. I fixed some bugs, improved some quality of life, and added a new system predicate to search for notes by name. The release should be as normal tomorrow.

Thanks. Some weird dude got upset and started spamming TOS-violation stuff to the server along with some friends, so the old invite url got turned off. Assuming the users who run the discord server are ok at that point about putting a new invite up, I'll fold the new on into 397 and all my help links.

>>14175 Same goes for the recent tab

>>14175 >>14176 Hydev on tablet: SHIT. Three steps forward, two back. The new filter must be killing the sort. Sorry, I will fix this for 396.

I had a good week. The hydrus file 'notes' system is improved, with all files now supporting multiple notes, icons on files to show when they have some, and the ability to search for files by the number of notes they have. Also some improvements to unusual tag autocomplete and a variety of bug fixes. The release should be as normal tomorrow.

>>13997 Hey Dev, thanks for the release. What's up with the Favorite tags disappearing when you use them, and not coming back when you go to the next image? Really puts a damper on my workflow. I think it's great that they disappear when you used them, but they really should come back every time you switch images. Unless I'm missing something.

>>13999 Thank you, this has slipped past me a couple times now. I will make sure this happens this week, and generally improve all the suggested tag panels. Sorry for the trouble.

I had a good work week. I fixed a variety of bugs, improved the feel of the suggested tags columns, and made zooming in the media viewer nicer. The release should be as normal tomorrow.

>>13986 >>13974 To follow up, you want to do: (get into your venv) pip3 install PySide2==5.13.2 Or for PyQt5, whichever you are using.

>>13987 >are you running from source Yes, but I had no luck running by installing the dependencies through pip (Shiboken error). I just use the dependencies listed from the Arch AUR package and then git pull your repository and run it. Just tried running the compiled binary and the same thing happens. Looks like it some distro-specific shit so don't bother with it.

I had an ok week. I mostly cleaned code, particularly improving how tag autocomplete text is parsed and the found results cached and filtered. The whole thing feels just that bit snappier now. I also fixed the accidental 'resuming half-complete subscription’ bug from last week's release. The release may be late tomorrow.

I had a good week catching up on messages and general todo. As well as bugfixes and quality of life, I also prototyped a solution for basic cloudflare problems. The release should be as normal tomorrow.

>>13894 You know, I could tie this into the new system tray icon. Just add an option, if you have a password set, to 'lock to system tray', and then require the pass to open up again. For font size, I have been doing a couple of custom tests with other users, and I hope to roll out some 'official' solutions once I have better support, but yeah, so far the best luck I have had is with a custom stylesheet. Routine I have done is creating a new 'my_custom.qss' file in install_dir/static/qss, with the following text: /* You can set the pt value to whatever you like */

QWidget
{
font-size: 14pt
} And setting that qss in options->style. Did you try something like that, and it still didn't work for you? A few of my custom controls do not follow the font size when set this way yet, but I expect to fix them.

I had a mixed week, but I am happy with my work. The first step in faster and more accurate tag siblings at the database level is done and plugged into tag autocomplete. I also sped up some common database operations, fixed a heap of bugs, and did some quality of life improvements. The release should be as normal tomorrow.

>>13907 I just wanted to say that this worked, I maybe had a typo in the selector or property for my qss. Thank you very much. I think there's utility in being able to lock the client, but the client also pulling down subs/galleries at the same time

>>13841 Hey, sure–the main tool you want here is a 'Hydrus Tag Archive', which is a portable tag database you can import from or export to. You can generate one of these using services->tag migration. In your old client, move all your tags from 'my tags' for 'my files' to a new HTA, and then import that HTA to the new client using the same dialog, but this time set it for 'all known files'. When you export/import your files over to the new client, your tags should be waiting for them when they arrive. This is an advanced operation, so make sure you have a backup of everything before you do it, and let me know if you run into any trouble.

Thanks! Worked like a charm! I was afraid of trying it before, because the greyed out option said "delete". :)

okay, so. i thought this was originally because of my db being broken, but after restoring a db backup from a month ago and it still happens after that, i'm just going to assume it's a bug. whenever i middle-click on a selection tag on a favorite search files page (as in, pages that have favorite searches loaded into them), i get an error that says 'OperationalError: no such table: external_caches.specific_current_mappings_cache_7_5' and nothing shows up in the new page. i looked in the cache db and the current mappings cache only goes up to 4, so i have no clue what's going on here. any ideas? (i should also clarify: this ONLY happens when middle-clicking a tag on a favorite searches page. on other file pages this function works as normal)

I had a great week. The hydrus client can now have a system tray icon–to which it can also minimise or close–framerate and 'number of frames' are now both searchable and sortable, and I was able to clear out a bunch of old bugs, including the issue where tag autocompletes would sometimes not reset back to system predicates properly. The release should be as normal tomorrow. >>13856 Thanks, should be fixed for tomorrow.

>>13863 Sorry for this problem, should be fixed in 391 later today! >>13860 I'm afraid I don't know anything about this problem. If you have a parser for the site that seems to work, could it be a User-Agent issue, as per the discussion here >>13826 ?
