Changelog

    in many situations--such as a search result that gives no results, or a search cancel, or a downloader page cleared of a highlight--pages will now report a special status text rather than '0 files', such as 'no results for this search' or 'search cancelled!' (issue #277)
    new pages, and the first page of a loaded session, should now correctly publish their status text to the status bar immediately after initialisation, (previously blank until first change)
    clicking the 'searching immediately' button while a search is ongoing now correctly cancels a search, cleaning up status and page and buttons, rather than just stopping current work immediately
    added 'copy_xxx_hash' shortcuts to the media shortcut set for 'md5', 'sha1', and 'sha512'
    when copying file hashes to clipboard, a popup appears for two seconds to verify what happened
    when copying file hashes to clipboard, recovery from missing hashes is more graceful, with multiple error report states
    the way the client shuts down is untangled. the order in which the gui, managers, threads, database are shut down is smoothed out, with better error handling and fewer potential logical holes
    the 'should I do shutdown work?' dialog is now only presented in the clean shutdown pipeline
    menu labels now elide at 128 characters, extended from 64 previously. hopefully this strikes a better balance between fixed texts we do want to read while still not letting long dynamic texts go nuts (issue #276)
    gallery and watcher pages now have 'show file/gallery log' on their menus, which directly zoom in to the edit dialogs for the top-most selected query or watcher (issue #256)
    when file maintenance is forced to run from the thumbnail menu or file maintenance job panel, it now provides x/y progress text and gauge based on total jobs, e.g. 1,234/10,000, rather than out of the 256-job batches (issue #264)
    the simple downloader page now updates its pending jobs list more efficiently, and supports multiple selection, and presents a yes/no confirmation on delete
    most lists with clipboard/png import/export buttons can now also do .json files. they also accept json files in a drag and drop. you can mix json and png files in a multi-file drag and drop
    when selecting a parser for a url class in 'manage url class links', those parsers with example urls that match the url class are now separately listed at the top of the choice dialog
    in the recent autocomplete rewrite, the hidden repository update file domain was accidentally exposed in the file domain button. after some testing, it actually works(!), but as this is an advanced topic, it is now hidden behind advanced mode
    the way services are deleted or completely reset is now changed to what should be a significantly faster and smaller operation
    the latest user-made nitter/twitter downloader is rolled in to the update. some little fixes and adds support for mobile.twitter.com url imports
    fixed an issue where uninitialised repositories thought they were caught up
    to reflect that it does nothing in this case, the mouse shortcut edit panel now disables the press/release choice on double-click or scroll
    fixed file save dialogs not filling in the default filename properly
    removed an old wx safety hack where new pages would silently not create while the client was minimised. this fixes issues with large session loading and subscriptions publishing files to page names that do not yet exist while the client is minimised
    removed an old wx safety hack where some tag lists would not regen their current tag display while the client was minimised
    in lieu of a future better bit of html subscription help that I link to from the subscription panel, the 'file limits' help button has temporarily briefer text so it doesn't make such a giant popup
    moving back to pyinstaller 3.5 (from 3.6) for the windows build, which appears to fix some dll loading for some users (issue #244)
    the windows and linux builds are updated to Qt 5.15 (from 5.13.2). it does not seem to have the odd problems 5.14 gave us. let me know if you have any trouble or if any weird graphical issues magically fix themselves

    client api:

    the /get_files/file_metadata call has a new true/false parameter, 'detailed_url_information', default false, that adds 'detailed_known_urls' structure to list the known urls results as in /add_urls/get_url_info. it has a help example and a unit test and everything (issue #235)
    the client api version is now 13

    boring cleanup details:

    reshuffled the shutdown code. now the controller takes the lead, booting splash as appropriate and commanding gui to save and close, and then proceeds to other shutdown
    fast and normal shutdown code is unified, just run differently
    shutdown calls should now always be idempotent
    a catch for some OS-level shutdown commands, normally user log-off, also hooks into the newer UI-free fast shutdown
    SIGINT and SIGTERM also hook better into the new shutdown, and are thread safe
    performing multiple SIGINTS on shutdown should no longer throw an error after the gui is deleted
    more potential startup/shutdown errors are now caught and presented to the user and saved to log, with subsequent shutdown urgency accelerated afterwards
    critical errors on a fast shutdown no longer present to the user--they just save to log
    updated how an emergency shutdown state is tested
    updated how a 'clean exit complete' state is set and tested
    various unusual shutdown states now skip human interaction and jump straight to guaranteed fast shutdown
    refactored splash window to its own file
    wrote a new qlistwidget subclass to do some common data storage/retrieval/selection. it will eventually replace most lists across the program
    the 'queue' list widget that has up/delete/down and add/edit buttons beside a list has nicer backend code and now initialises with its buttons correctly disabled due to no selection
    the similar 'add/edit/delete' list widget is updated to use the nicer backend
    some wx->Qt list hacks, which were themselves using borked old display-string-based indexing, are deleted
    the repository download/process daemon has been moved to the newer job scheduler. it should start up and close out on program exit a bit more neatly
    untangled some messy value-change radio button code in the shortcut edit panel
    updated the way page status text propagates up from the thumbnail grid to the main gui to Qt signals instead of the old inefficient pubsub
    all UI file hash clipboard copying code is now unified and improved
    added a new subscription file publish debug test to help->debug->gui
    refactored some client specific time delta rendering code out of core to client
    misc event cleanup code
    misc code style 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

    Added : Ability to select multiple albums.
    Added : Delete, merge selected albums.
    Added : Move albums to another collection.

If you frequently work with large numbers of video files, you probably know how difficult it is to find what you need without watching every single clip. Thankfully, there are various types of applications that can help you out.

Scene Explorer is one of them, a fairly simple utility that generates thumbnails for every video in a directory, making it easier for you to see their contents without actually playing them.

Changelog

    Shortcuts:

    Shortcuts have a backend update this week. a bunch of hacky stuff is now cleaner behind the scenes, and the related UI has some cleanup as well
    Converted all 100-odd simple shortcut commands from hacky text ids to a proper enumerated id system, and across every single instance across the program
    Wrote nicer descriptive labels for all simple shortcuts. gone is 'focus_media_viewer', now is 'keyboard focus: to the media viewer'
    If you have no like/dislike or numerical services, the respective application command edit panels now say so and do not allow an ok action
    Like/dislike rating sub-panels now start with 'like' checked
    When a like/dislike or numerical rating sub-panel is set to 'remove', the action dropdown is set to 'set' (rather than flip) and is disabled, as is the numerical slider
    Application commands now state better "3/5" information about rating actions, rating than the underlying "0.6" float implementation
    All application commands existing in shortcuts or elsewhere are updated to the new enumerated id system
    Refactored ApplicationCommand (the side of shortcuts that holds the actual action to be done) and its edit UI to new separate files
    Completely refactored the application command edit panel, pulling the simple/tag/rating sub-panels into their own decoupled classes, simplifying the tangle and permitting easier future expansion
    Rearranged some application command functions and contant definitions to more appropriate locations
    Improved how application commands are interrogated by the objects that process them
    Added plenty of type hinting around application command processing code
    Cleaned up a bunch of shortcut and application command code, including some wx->Qt updates as well

    Menu and UI cleanup:

    Removed an old wx hack that prohibited last-second ui updates. the exit splash screen now reports final db shutdown info
    If a service or account is currently non-functional (e.g. all repositories are paused), the appropriate status text is now in red
    If there is work to do the first time a duplicate page is opened or looked at, it now moves to the 'preparation' tab
    Doing a 'migrate database' file migration now temp-closes the migrate db dialog and hides the main gui while it goes on
    Brushed up the tag filter ui a bit--now only one of the tag_filter/blacklist test phrases only show up, in the appropriate context, and the test text input now supports multiple newline-separated tags (e.g. if you want to paste a bunch)
    Every panel on review services now has a refresh button to force an update
    the 'clear trash' button on the trash review services panel is now disabled when there is nothing to clear
    updated edit subscription panel to point to the main html help and brushed up that help to talk about file limits more, also the earlier downloader help has a little section to highlight subscriptions and their use
    reworked the 'restore from db backup' command--it is now integrated into client shutdown proper, and reports its basic restore progress to the exit splash screen
    reorganised the 'network' menu. manage subs is now up top, downloader submenus are now split better into high-level vs component-level, and login stuff is pulled to its own submenu
    Put 'network traffic' at the top of the network->pause menu
    Rearranged some of the 'gui' and 'gui pages' option pages and tucked everything into box sections for clarity
    The search pause/play button on search page tag autocomplete now has a simpler 'search paused' label when paused. the code has a similar nomenclature change, and eventually this will turn into a simple pause/play icon button or similar
    Fixed some weirdness with floating autocomplete dropdowns sometimes not appearing on dialogs on first load
    Fixed some focus logic so set-focus calls on downloader pages should work again on the query input text box and elsewhere
    Unified all numerical rating->stars and stars->rating calculations across the program. this may have fixed some edge-case bugs
    Unified all rating string generation across the program

    The rest:

    The disk cache options under options->speed and memory are now default off and force-set off for all users on update. as more users are on decent ssds where these options are of limited value (and sometimes negative value), I now only recommend them for users on HDDs
    Added two options for autocomplete results list height to 'gui pages' option page, under the new 'controls' section
    Fixed a critical issue where the client api could duplicate-add tags with url imports to multiple services. the potential service duplicate cascade order was pseudorandom and particular to a client. thanks to a user for figuring this issue out (issue #317)
    Added a 'tag whitelist' to downloader tag import options. its edit button is below the blacklist. when there are no tags in the list, it does nothing, but if tags are added, then files that do not have at least one of the given tags at the download source will not be imported. for instance, if you have a username-based downloader (where you can't add more tags to the query to filter serverside), and you only want their metroid content, you can now filter it simply hydrusside (issue #279)
    If you are both in advanced mode and a mad lad, the basic blacklist tag filter now allows you to show the 'whitelist' and 'advanced' panels again, if you have a complicated blacklist to set
    The local booru and client api now support the same https as the hydrus server, using self-signed certificates stored in the db directory. just set the checkbox in manage services and you should be good. self-signed certificates are free and will work on a server hosted off an IP address, but they are imperfect. they are also likely to require special permission to be accepted by the web browser or whatever you want to talk to the https service. however, if you host your client from a real DNS domain and have your own fully signed cert+key files, you can swap them in no problem
    Local booru and client api urls adjust scheme for the new option, and unified and cleaned up how booru share urls are generated internally
    The way cert+key files are generated is moved from server code to common hydrus code
    Cleaned up how additional db files like certificate files and the mpv conf are managed for backup/restore operations
    Cleaned up some ancient http urls to https. mostly stuff like the regex tutorial links
    When files are appended to a regular search page (e.g. from a subscription publish to an existing page, or from a mouse drag and drop), the search will now pause. this is to stop accidental F5 or mass refresh signals wiping out the changed page
    To break advanced-case gallery search loops, gallery url jobs now have a 'run' identity token. galleries pass their token down to 'next page' or 'sub-gallery' urls they generate, meaning all urls of a particular search run share the same url. gallery logs now ignore to-be-added urls that already exist for their token, terminating loops. new tokens are generated if a search is restarted or similar, meaning duplicate urls can exist in a gallery log, just not from the same starting point (issue #302)
    Improved simple gallery url deduplication in several stages of the downloader pipeline
    When right-clicking on multiple thumbs, the info lines off the top menu item now list the files' combined viewtimes (this previously only showed when one file was selected)
    Fixed some error reporting problems with adding urls to import via the client api--some url class exceptions were being converted from 400 to 500 errors unintentionally
    A new stylesheet, 'Hydracula', is added to the default install. check it out under options->style. thank you to a user for contributing this
    Subscriptions are better about calculating a 90 second forgiveness window for bandwidth rules. they should schedule and startup more effectively, and the edit subscriptions and single edit subscription panels should also no longer show bandwidth delays below the next 90s, which are often a technical situation of regular work breaks that are better ignored for the purposes of the dialog
    Went back up to pyinstaller 3.6 again on windows, as 3.5 caused its own Qt bindings dll problems. if you had trouble with 3.6 (401), let me know how this works for you, as there are additional dll-finding fixes included (issue #329)
    Fixed an issue where under some conditions, file save dialogs were only happy with filenames that already existed (issue #319)
    Fixed an issue with the 'client already running' system sometimes not closing the client process correctly when told to cancel the boot
    Bumped the 'space needed for vacuum' estimate up to 120% (was 100%) of estimated final file size, just to catch some edge cases
    Rolling out updated danbooru parsers that pull associable urls correctly, thank you to a user for this fix
    Rolling out an updated deviant art parser that finds some unusual file urls when other methods fail, thank you to another user for this fix (issue #295)
    Upgraded cloudscraper to 1.2.42
    Improved some type hinting
    Fixed up some unit tests for new command and rating data

Changelog

    Column lists:

    All multi-column lists across the program now remember the widths of their columns when they are next recreated
    The last column of any list is now universally the 'stretching' column, which should correctly initialise with its preferred/previous size, but also grows and shrinks with the parent window
    While all lists retain their initial rows height, and those in the gallery and watcher management panels will continue to grow and shrink in a fixed way, all lists in dialog windows can now be shrunk down to four rows
    The minimum size of any column is now much smaller, about three characters
    All column headers now tooltip their name
    Lists should be better about sizing in non-100% OS UI scalings
    The lists that are automatically sorted (e.g. the download pages, and manage subs) now remember the last sort you gave them

    Future plans, now within reach:

    All lists will sort, sort arrows will appear on the header, and sort will be faster
    Columns will be rearrangeable
    Columns will be hide/showable, and initially hidden complicated columns will be available
    There will be some, maybe optional, capability to have lists sync live, so if you edit one, the others do the same
    Num rows height memory, maybe--we'll see how the above shakes out first

    Boring code changes:

    Moved list code to a new sub-module
    Wrote a status object for column list current columns, widths, and sort, and plugged it into list code
    Wrote a manager to handle column statuses, and plugged it into the main controller and db
    Wrote definitions for every list (66 or so different lists!) and all their columns, and unified width, name, default sort, and future hideabality and default hide/show status to that one easy to edit and extend location
    Rewrote list column and sort initialisation to work off the new status object and added hooks for list sorting and column resizing to save new status back
    Rewrote every list column instantiation to use the new system
    Numerous misc column list code cleanup

    The rest:

    Double middle-clicking on the page tab bar should now correctly close two tabs in a row (rather than opening the rename page dialog on the second)
    Entering an odd number of hex characters into system:hash no longer causes an error. this will be changed in future to properly highlight and explain badly pasted or incorrect-length hashes in future
    The new red text for non-functional status texts in review services now properly re-colours itself between normal/red when an error or resolution occurs while the panel is open
    Hydrus now knows if it is running in the Haiku operating system and has preliminary platform specificity. if you are interested in helping to get hydrus running properly in Haiku, please join in with github issue #358
    Cleaned up a mix of smaller code, unused variables and imports and so on
