I had an ok week. With luck, the client should have less UI lag, and I also fixed a bunch of stuff and improved some quality of life.
basic highlights
I removed some very hacky memory management code this week. It was eating far more CPU than it was worth, particularly for large clients. If you have a very heavy client, particularly if it has lots of heavy subscriptions, please let me know if you A) have fewer UI lockups, and B) see any crazy memory spikes while running subs. As bad as the old routine was, it was aggressive and effective at what it did, so I may have to revisit this.
All multi-column lists across the program now catch enter/return keystrokes and trigger an 'activate' call, as if you had double-clicked. Should be easy to navigate and highlight a downloader page list just with the keyboard now.
advanced highlights
The 'file log' window now lets you see and copy an import item's hashes, tags, and urls from its right-click menu. I hope this will help debug some weirder downloader problems and generally inform on how the downloaders work.
The Edit URL Class dialog has had a layout makeover. Also, URL Classes now support matching and normalising 'single value' parameters (this is where you have a token/keyword parameter rather than the traditional key=value pair).
The hydrus server now remembers custom update and anonymisation periods! Previously, it was resetting to defaults on a restart! Thank you for the reports here--I apologise for the inconvenience and delay.
I added an 'mpv report mode' to the debug menu. If mpv loads for you but you have silent audio or similar (and perhaps some crashes, but we'll see if this catches useful info in time), this'll dump a huge amount of mpv debug information to the log.
