I had a great week. I ended up mostly fixing bugs. If you have a large client, the update may take a few minutes this week.
bug fixes
I discovered a semi-important tag processing bug last week--for some users, files that were imported before they added the PTR were not getting all the correct tag info and would not appear in some tag searches. I fixed the underlying file-tracking bug and have added a retroactive 'gap-filler' to this week's update. If you used the client for a long time but added/reset the PTR recently, you'll have more gaps so your update will take longer.
Another persistent issue has been the 'tiling artifacts' with my new tile-based image renderer, where at certain zooms an image would have one or more horizontal or vertical blurred/janked line of pixels. You'd notice it on cleaner vector images where a smooth curved black line would suddenly jag at one zoom. I had trouble reproducing this at first, but some users got it quite often, and with their help I was able to figure it out. I have rewritten the part of my renderer that was failing, and I think I now have the artifacts completely fixed for all 'normal' zooms. Let me know how you get on!
misc
Network job widgets have a little user-friendly update this week. I brushed up some of the status texts, made the text lay out better, and when the widget counts down waiting for something (like free bandwidth), if it doesn't get it because another downloader did, it says so before resetting the countdown clock.
A helpful user wrote a new darkmode style called OledBlack. Check it out under options->style!
I added OR predicates to Client API file search!
If you are an advanced user, you might like to read this idea I had for setting up multi-tag processing workflows: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/advanced_parents.html#parent_favourites I suddenly thought of it a couple weeks ago and it worked so well for me that I decided to write it up. It basically involves using local parent tags to group PTR tags into a pseudo-OR search that you can easily edit.
