The client can now save and load searches. favourite searches Every tag autocomplete input text box that searches for files–the most obvious being the one on normal search pages–now has a star icon button beside it. Click this, and you get a menu to save your current search, manage your saved searches, or load up one that is saved! Currently, the saved information is the list of search terms (the tags and system predicates), the current file and tag domains (e.g. my files/all known tags), whether the system is 'searching immediately' or waiting, and optionally the current sort and collect. Each saved search has a name and optionally a folder, for easy grouping. I have started all clients with an example inbox processing search, just as an example. If you, like me, keep ten or fifteen empty search pages open (for me it is mostly different creator+inbox searches), I hope this system lets you collapse it down, making for a lighter and simpler session. It should also help for more unusual workflows like duplicate filtering and even file maintenance jobs. There may be a couple of bugs in the system, something like a collect-by not being saved or updated correctly. Let me know how you get on! the rest A note from the users managing Hydrus Companion: The Chrome Web Store release of Hydrus Companion is no longer available due to publishing issues. If you have been using it in the past, please install the extension manually as outlined here instead: https://gitgud.io/prkc/hydrus-companion e621 changed their site format, breaking hydrus's default downloaders. This is now updated, thanks to a user's contribution. The URL format has changed, so unfortunately your subscriptions will take longer (but will not redownload files) and note they have hit their periodic limits on their next cycle, which you can ignore. If you use an e621 login with hydrus, you may also want to check your account-based tag blacklist on the site, as I have heard this has also changed. Hydrus's default mpv configuration file now has some normalisation that seems to work well. If your subscriptions are paused, or if all network traffic is paused, this is now noted in the status bar. full list - favourite searches: - hydrus can now save, load, and edit favourite searches. this first system stores searches with a name and an optional folder name, and contains search predicates, file and tag domain, whether the search is live or not, and optionally sort-by and collect-by - this is program-wide and all accessed through the new 'star' icon menu button beside any 'read' tag autocomplete input on search pages, duplicate pages, export folder ui, and file maintenance selection - wrote a favourite searches manager - wrote a dialog to manage favourite searches - wrote a dialog to edit a single favourite search - wrote load and save search functionality - autocomplete dropdowns that have buttons beside them now stretch their floating dropdown windows across the button width also - cleaned a variety of search code, simplifying objects and responsibility - cleaned up some collect-by ui code - refactored sort and collect controls to better location

- refactored search constants - numerous small search code fixes and cleanup - renamed clientguipredicates to clientguisearch - . - the rest: - a note from the users managing Hydrus Companion: The Chrome Web Store release of Hydrus Companion is no longer available due to publishing issues. If you have been using it in the past, please install the extension manually as outlined here instead: https://gitgud.io/prkc/hydrus-companion - the default e621 downloader is updated to their new system, thanks to a user's submission. if you log in to e621 with hydrus or the hydrus companion and discover some tags are now blacklisted, please check your blacklist settings on your account on the site - an old test e-hentai login script from 2018 that is no longer in the client defaults will be deleted from clients that still have it today. if the user has no other login script for e-hentai, the domain entry will be deleted as well. this removes potential technical barriers for users that wish to use hydrus companion to access e-hentai, which is now the recommended method - hydrus mpv now has an appropriate stream title, which propagates up to the os-level sound mixer. it was previously the ugly hydrus filename - improved error handling when mpv is passed an invalid conf - the default mpv conf now has audio normalisation that seems to work ok - fixed an issue with the 'delete/move out missing/corrupt file' file maintenance job where record deletes were not processing correctly. it now deletes the file record correctly and also clears that deletion record, to make re-import of the correct file, if found, easier - all hydrus menu labels are now "middle…elided" when they are greater than 64 characters - all new hdd, url, and simple download pages should now obey the 'remove files when trashed' rule. pages in existing sessions will not - updated the user-created CutieDuck darkmode qss file to the latest version, which alters the recent hydrus qss styling colours like green/red button labels - did a full pass of all service fetching–all file and tag services should now present in lists and tabs in service_type, alphabetical order, e.g. for manage tag siblings, the tabs will always be local_tags, tag_repositories, both in alphabetical order - fixed an issue where a 'get darker or lighter comparison colour' calculation was not working well for black or very dark colours - if subscriptions or general network traffic is paused, the bandwidth section of the main gui statusbar now says it - the status bar now tooltips each section - clarified some labels on the edit url class panel - moved all delayed focus-shifting code to a more stable system - cleaned up how the global icon cache is initialised and referenced - updated the hydrus project gitignore to hide all db, log, server, recovery, and media files that could be under the db directory - updated the endchan links in the help to have a .org secondary link - more general code refactoring next week Next week is a 'small jobs' week, so I will be back to catching up on small things and general mpv/shortcuts/cleanup work. Also Deviant Art are perhaps going through some more layout changes of their own, so I will be looking at that. As the virus hits, I expect to keep working on hydrus as normal. I am supplied, low social contact, and healthy. I hope you are as well. If we all end up locked down for a month, I hope hydrus can offer a distraction. I will post if I have to stop for a couple of weeks.
