Manage large media collections and re-organize them using tags instead of folders that you can share via custom servers with this application.

The Unlicense

Changelog

    new tag search options:

    there are several new options for tag autocomplete under the newly renamed services->tag display and search:

    for 'manage tags'-style 'write' autocompletes, you can now set which file service and tag service each tag service page's autocomplete starts with (e.g. some users have wanted to say 'start my "my tags" service looking at "all known files" and "ptr"' to get more suggestions for "my tags" typing). the default is 'all known files' and the same tag service
    the old blanket 'show "all known files" in write autocompletes' option under options->tags is removed

    you now can enable the following potentially very slow and expensive searches on a per-tag-domain basis:

    you can permit namespace-autocompleting searches, so 'ser' also matches 'ser*:*', i.e. 'series:metroid' and every other series tag
    you can permit 'namespace:*', fetching all tags for a namespace
    you can permit '*', fetching all tags （╬ಠ益ಠ)
    '' and 'namespace:' wildcard searches are now significantly faster on smaller specific tag domains (i.e. not "all known tags")
    short explicit wildcard searches like "s*" now fire off that actual search, regardless of the 'exact match' character threshold
    queries in the form "*:xxx" are now replaced with "xxx" in logic and display
    improved the reliability of various search text definition logic to account for wildcard situations properly when doing quick-enter tag broadcast and so on
    fixed up autocomplete db search code for wildcard namespaces with "*" subtags
    simplified some autocomplete database search code

    string processing:

    the new string processor is now live. all parsing formulae now use a string processor instead of the string match/transformer pair, with existing matches and transformers that do work being integrated into the new processor
    thus, all formulae parsing now supports the new string splitter object, which allows you to split '1,2,3' into ['1','2','3']
    all formulae panels now have the combined 'string processing' button, which launches a new edit panel and will grow in height to list all current processing steps
    the stringmatch panel now hides its controls when they are not relevent to the current match type. also, setting fixed match type (or, typically, mouse-scrolling past it), no longer resets min/max/example fields)
    the string conversion step edit panel now clearly separates the controls vs the test results
    improved button and summary labelling for string tools across the program
    some differences in labelling between string 'conversion' and 'transformation' are unified to 'conversion' across the program
    moved the test data used in parsing edit panels to its own object, and updated some of the handling to support passing up of multiple example texts
    the separation formula of a subsidiary page parser now loads with current test data
    the string processing panel loads with the current test data, and passes the first example string of the appropriate processing step to its sub-panels. this will be expanded in future to multiple example testing for each panel, and subsequently for note parsing, multiline testing
    added safety code and unit tests to test string processing for hex/base64 bytes outcomes. as a reminder, I expect to eliminate the bytes issue in future and just eat hashes as hex
    cleaned up a variety of string processing code
    misc improvements to string processing controls

    the rest:

    double-clicking a page tab now opens up the rename dialog
    system:time imported now has quick buttons for 'since 1/7/30 days ago'
    all hydrus downloaders now accept percent-encoded characters in the query field, so if you are on a site that has tags with spaces, you can now enter a query like "simple%20background red%20hair" to get the input you want. you can also generally now paste encoded queries from your address bar into hydrus and they should work, with the only proviso being "%25", which is "%", when all bets are off
    duplicates shut down work (both tree rebalancing and dupe searching) now quickly obeys the 'cancel shutdown work' splash button
    fixed a signal cleanup bug that meant some media windows in the preview viewer were hanging on to and multiplying a 'launch media' signal and a shortcut handler, which meant double-clicking on the preview viewer successively on a page would result in multiple media window launches
    fixed an issue opening the manage parsers dialog for users with certain unusual parsers
    fixed the 'hide the preview window' setting for the new page layout method
    updated the default gelbooru gallery page parser to fix gelb gallery parsing
    updated the newgrounds parser to the latest on the github. it should support static image art now
    if automatic vacuum is disabled in the client, forced vacuum is no longer prohibited
    updated cloudscraper for all builds to 1.2.38

    boring code cleanup:

    all final mouse event processing hackey is removed from the media viewers, and the shortcut system is now fully responsible. left click (now with no or any modifier) is still hardcoded to do drag but does not interfere with other mapped left-click actions
    the duplicates filter no longer hardcodes mouse wheel to navigate--whatever is set for the normal browser, it now obeys
    cleaned up some mouse move tracking code
    clicking to focus an unfocused media viewer window will now not trigger the associated click action, so you can now click on archive/delete filters without moving on!
    the red/green on/off buttons on the autocomplete dropdown are updated from the old wx pubsub to Qt signalling
    updated wx hacks to proper Qt event processing for splash window, mouse move events in the media viewer and the animation scanbar
    cleaned up how some event filtering and other processing propagates in the media viewer
    deleted some old unused mouse show/hide media viewer code
    did some more python imports cleanup
    cleaned up some unit test selection code
    refactored the media code to a new directory module
    refactored the media result and media result cache code to their own files
    refactored some qt colour functions from core to gui module
    misc code 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

    Improvements:

    the media viewer and thumbnail right-click->manage menus now have a viewing stats->clear action, which does a straight-up delete of all viewing stats record for the selected files. 'edit' will be added to this menu in future
    extended the tag autocomplete options with a checkbox to allow 'namespace:' to match all tags, without the explicit asterisk
    tag autocomplete options now permit namespace searches if the 'search namespaces into full tags' option is set
    the tag autocomplete options panel now disables and checks the namespace checkboxes when one option overrules another
    cleaned up some tag search logic to recognize and deal with 'namespace:' as a query
    added some more unit tests for tag autocomplete options
    the html and json parsing formulae now support negative indexing, to select the nth last item from a list
    extended the '1 -> "1st"' ordinal string conversion code to deal with negative indices
    the 'hide tag' taglist menu actions are now wrapped in yes/no dialogs
    reduced the activation-to-click-accept time that the shortcuts handler uses to ignore activating clicks from 100ms to 17ms
    clicking the media viewer's top hover window's zoom buttons now forces the 'media viewer center' zoom centerpoint, so if you have the mouse centerpoint set, it won't zoom around the button where you are clicking!
    added a simple 8chan.moe watcher to the defaults, all users will get it on update
    the default bandwidth rules for download pages, subs, and watchers are now more liberal. only new users will get these. various improvements to db and ui update pipeline mean the enforced breaks are less needed
    when a manage tags dialog moves to another media, if it has a 'recent tags' suggestion list with a selection, the selection now resets to the top item in the list
    the mpv player now tracks when a video is fully loaded and only reports seek bar info and allows seeks when this is so (this should fix some seekbar errors on broken/slow-loading vids)
    added 'undelete_file' to media shortcut commands
    file delete and undelete are no longer hardcoded in the media viewer and media thumbnail grid. these actions are now handled entirely in the media shortcut set, and added to all clients by default (this defaults to (shift +) delete key, and also backspace on macos, so likely no changes)
    ctrl+mouse wheel is no longer hardcoded to zoom in the media browser. these actions are now handled entirely in the 'all' media viewer shortcut set (this defaults to ctrl+wheel or +/-, so likely no changes)
    deleted some old shortcut processing code
    tightened up some update timers to better halt work while the client is minimised to system tray. this may improve some users' restore hanging issues
    as Qt is happier than wx about making pages on a non-visible client, subscriptions and various url import operations are now permitted to create pages while the client is minimised to taskbar or system tray. if this applies to your situation, please let me know how you get on here, as this may relieve some restore hanging as the pending new-file jobs are no longer queued up

    Fixes:

    clicks on hover window greyspace should no longer propagate up to the media viewer. this was causing weird archive/delete filter actions
    mouse scroll on hover window taglist should no longer propagate up to the media viewer when the taglist has no more to scroll in that direction
    fixed an issue that meant preview windows were initialising about twenty pixels too short for the first page loaded in a session, and also pages created within nested page of pages. also cleaned up some logic for unusual situations like hidden preview windows. one more cycle of closing and reopening the client will fix the option value here
    cleaned and unified some page sash setting code, also improving the 'hide preview window' option reliability for advanced actions
    fixed a bug that meant file viewtime was still being recorded on the duplicate filter when the special exception option was off
    reduced some file viewtime manager overhead
    fixed an issue with database repair code when local_tags_cache is missing
    fixed an issue updating a very old db not recognising that local_tags_cache does not yet exist for proper reason and then trying to repair it before update code runs
    fixed the annoying issue introduced in the recent string match overhaul where a 'fixed character' string match edit panel would not want to ok if the (now hidden) example string input did not have the same fixed char data. it now validates no matter what is in the hidden input
    potentially important parsing fix: JSON parsing, when set to get strings, no longer converts a 'null' value to 'None'
    the JSON parsing formula now allows you to select the nth indexed item of an Object (a JSON key->value dictionary). due to technical limitations, it alphabetises the keys, not selecting them as-is in the JSON itself
    images that do not load in PIL no longer cause mime exceptions if they are run through the decompression bomb check

    Misc:

    boosted the values of the decompression bomb check anyway, to reduce false positives. it generally now has a problem with images with a bmp > 1GB memory
    by default, new file import options now start with decompression bombs allowed. this option is being reduced to a stopgap for users with less memory
    'MimeException' is renamed to 'UnsupportedFileException'
    added 'DamagedOrUnusualFileException' to handle normally supported files that cannot be parsed or loaded
    'SizeException' is split into 'TagSizeException' and 'FileSizeException'
    improved some file exception inheritance
    removed the 'experimental' label from sub-gallery page url type in parsing system
    updated some advanced help regarding bad files
    misc help updates
    updated cloudscraper to 1.2.40

Changelog

    subscription data overhaul:

    the formerly monolithic subscription object is finally broken up into smaller pieces, reducing work and load lag and total db read/write for all actions
    subscriptions work the same as before, no user input is required. they just work better now™
    depending on the size and number of your subscriptions, the db update may take a minute or two this week. a backup of your old subscription objects will be created in your db directory, under a new 'legacy_subscriptions_backup' subdirectory
    the manage subscriptions dialog should now open within a second (assuming subs are not currently running). it should save just as fast, only with a little lag if you decide to make significant changes or go into many queries' logs, which are now fetched on demand inside the dialog
    when subscriptions run, they similarly only have to load the query they are currently working on. boot lag is now almost nothing, and total drive read/write data for a typical sub run is massively reduced
    the 'total files in a sub' limits no longer apply. you can have a sub with a thousand queries and half a million urls if you like
    basic subscription data is now held in memory at all times, opening up future fast access such as client api and general UI editing of subs. more work will happen here in coming weeks
    if due to hard drive fault or other unusual situations some subscription file/gallery log data is missing from the db, a running sub will note this, pause the sub, and provide a popup error for the user. the manage subscription dialog will correct it on launch by resetting the affected queries with new empty data
    similarly, if you launch the manage subs dialog and there is orphaned file/gallery log data in the db, this will be noticed, with the surplus data then backed up to the database directory and deleted from the database proper
    subscription queries can now handle domain and bandwidth tests for downloaders that host files/posts on a different domain to the gallery search step
    if subs are running when manage subs is booted, long delays while waiting for them to pause are less likely
    some subscription 'should run?' tests are improved for odd situations such as subs that have no queries or all DEAD queries
    improved some error handling in merge/separate code
    the 'show/copy quality info' buttons now work off the main thread, disabling the sub edit dialog while they work
    updated a little of the subs help

    boring actual code changes for subs:

    wrote a query log container object to store bulky file and gallery log info
    wrote a query header object to store options and cache log summary info
    wrote a file cache status object to summarise important info so check timings and similar can be decided upon without needing to load a log
    the new cache is now used across the program for all file import summary presentation
    wrote a new subscription object to hold the new query headers and load logs as needed
    updated subscription management to deal with the new subscription objects. it now also keeps them in memory all the time
    wrote a fail-safe update from the old subscription objects to the new, which also saves a backup to disk, just in case of unforeseen problems in the near future
    updated the subscription ui code to deal with all the new objects
    updated the subscription ui to deal with asynchronous log fetching as needed
    cleaned up some file import status code
    moved old subscription code to a new legacy file
    refactored subscription ui code to a new file
    refactored and improved sub sync code
    misc subscription cleanup
    misc subscription ui cleanup
    added type hints to multiple subscription locations
    improved how missing serialisable object errors are handled at the db level

    client api:

    the client api now delivers 'is_inbox', 'is_local', 'is_trashed' for 'GET /get_files/file_metadata'
    the client api's Access-Control-Allow-Headers CORS header is now '*', allowing all
    client api version is now 12

    downloaders:

    twitter retired their old api on the 1st of June, and there is unfortunately no good hydrus solution for the new one. however thanks to a user's efforts, a nice new parser for nitter, a twitter wrapper, is added in today's update. please play with it--it has three downloaders, one for a user's media, one for retweets, and one for both together--and adjust your twitter subscriptions to use the new downloader as needed. the twitter downloader is no longer included for new hydrus users
    thanks to a user's submission, fixed the md5 hash fetching for default danbooru parsers
    derpibooru gallery searching should be fixed to use their current api

    the rest:

    when the client exits or gets a 'modal' maintenance popup window, all currently playing media windows will now pause
    regrettably, due to some content merging issues that are too complicated to improve at the moment, the dupe filter will no longer show the files of processed pairs in the duplicate filter more than once per batch. you won't get a series of AB, AC, AD any more. this will return in future
    the weird bug where double-clicking the topmost recent tags suggestion would actually remove the top two items should be fixed. general selection-setting on this column should also be improved
    middle-clicking on a parent tag in a 'write' autocomplete dropdown no longer launches a page with that invalid parent 'label' tag included--it just does the base tag. the same is true of label tags (such as 'loading...') and namespace tags
    when changing 'expand parents on autocomplete' in the cog button on manage tags, the respective autocomplete now changes whether it displays parents
    this is slightly complicated: a tag 'write' context (like manage tags) now presents its autocomplete tags (filtering, siblings, parents) according to the tag service of the parent panel, not the current tag service of the autocomplete. so, if you are on 'my tags' panel and switch to 'all known tags' for the a/c, you will no longer get 'all known tags' siblings and parents and so on presented if 'my tags' is not set to take them. this was sometimes causing confusion when a list showed a parent but the underlying panel did not add it on tag entry
    to reduce blacklist confusion, when you launch the edit blacklist dialog from an edit tag import options panel, now only the 'blacklist' tab shows, the summary text is blacklist-specific, and the top intro message is improved. a separate 'whitelist' filter will be added in the near future to allow downloading of files only if they have certain tags
    'hard-replace siblings and parents' in manage tags should now correctly remove bad siblings when they are currently pending
    network->downloaders->manage downloader and url display now has a checkbox to make the media viewer top-right hover show unmatched urls
    the '... elide page tab names' option now applies instantly on options dialog ok to all pages
    added 'copy_bmp_or_file_if_not_bmpable' shortcut command to media set. it tries copy_bmp first, then copy_file if not a static image
    fixed some edit tag filter layout to stop long intro messages making it super wide
    fixed an issue where tag filters could accept non-whitespace-stripped entries and entries with uppercase characters
    fixed a display typo where the 'clear orphan files' maintenance job, when set to delete orphans, was accidentally reporting (total number of thumbnails)/(number of files to delete) text in the file delete step instead of the correct (num_done/num_to_do)
    clarified the 'reset repository' commands in review services
    when launching an external program, the child process's environment's PATH is reset to what it was at hydrus boot (removing hydrus base dir)
    when launching an external program from the frozen build, if some Qt/SSL specific PATH variables have been set to hydrus subdirectories by pyinstaller or otherwise, they are now removed. (this hopefully fixes issues launching some Qt programs as external file launchers)
    added a separate requirements.txt for python 3.8, which can't handle PySide2 5.13.0
    updated help->about to deal better with missing mpv
    updated windows mpv to 2020-05-31 build, api version is now 1.108
    updated windows sqlite to 3.32.2

Changelog

    Subscriptions:

    as subs can now load more flexibly, previously hardcoded waits are now eliminated

    the subscriptions manager now only waits three seconds after initial session load to boot (previously 15)
    the subscriptions manager now wakes as soon as the subscriptions dialog is ok'd or cancelled
    a timing calculation that would delay the work of a sub up to five or fifteen minutes if more queries would come due for sync in that time window (in order previously to batch to reduce read/write) is now eliminated--subs will now start as soon as any query is due. if you were ever confused why a query that seemed due did not boot after dialog ok or other wake-up event, this should no longer happen
    re-added the import/export/duplicate buttons to manage subs. export and dupe may need to do db work for a couple of seconds and will have a yes/no confirmation on larger jobs
    the import button on manage subs accepts and converts the old 'legacy' subscription object format, including a copy/paste of the objects backed up to disk in the v400 update
    fixed an issue where creating a subscription query and then deleting it in the same manage subs dialog session would result in surplus data being written to the db (which the next dialog launch would note and clear out)
    an unusual error with pre-run domain checking, exposed by the new subscription code and e621 subs, where the gallery url has also recently changed, is now fixed

    Issue tracker:

    the Github issue tracker is turned on again! it is now run by a team of volunteer users. the idea is going to be to try to merge duplicate feature suggestions with the proper platform and put some discussion and cognition and prioritisation into idea development before it gets to my desk, so I can be more focused and productive and so 95% of feature suggestions do not simply get banished to the shadow realm of the back of my todo
    this is mostly intended for wishlist and other suggestions, as the tsunami was just getting too much for me to handle, but we'll see how it goes for things like bug reports as well. I'll still take any sort of report through my normal channels, if you are uncomfortable with github, or if you wish for me to forward an item to the issue tracker anonymously
    the website, help documents, and hydrus help menu links have been updated regarding the issue tracker

    The rest:

    improved how the database 'update default downloader objects' job works, ensuring that new defaults are better at simply take the place of existing objects and do not break/reset existing url class to parser links
    tightened up how automatic url class to parser linking works, eliminating some surplus and potentially bad data related to api links. furthermore, whenever the links between url classes and parsers update, existing surplus data, which may creep in when api links change, is now cleaned from the data structure
    rolling out updated e621 url class and parser to deal with their alternate gallery url format
    rolling out an updated derpibooru parser that will link to the new api class correctly
    thanks to a user's submission, rolling out updated versions of the new default nitter parsers that pull creator:username tags
    before every subprocess launch, and when waiting for all subprocess communication (e.g. to ffmpeg), now tests regularly for program shutdown. if an unusual situation develops where a subscription is doing a file import job while the OS is shutting down, and that system shut down would hang or is hanging on a 'ffmpeg can't be launched now' dialog, the hydrus client should now notice this and bomb out, rather than going for that never-running ffmpeg. this may not fix all instances of this issue, and further feedback on the client not closing down cleanly with the OS is welcome.
    when adding a new path to the 'migrate database' panel, any symbolic links will be converted to canonical equivalents
    added some location checks and appropriate errors when the database is doing file storage rebalancing
    fixed an issue uploading swfs, video, or audio to the server when it is launched from a frozen executable build
    misc code cleanup
