Hey, the release I put out earlier had a problem! The links above point to the fixed version. If you got the old one within an hour of me putting this post up, please download and install/extract again and you'll be able to boot. Sorry for the trouble!
I had a great week mostly clearing out bugs.
highlights
I gave the new duplicate filter zoom locking calculation another pass. Thank you to the users who submitted examples of my last attempt not working right. It is now more careful and targeted towards fixing the 'a watermark banner spilled over my monitor edge' problem, and it deals with different combinations of portrait and landscape images and viewers better. Let me know if you still have any borked zooms!
The client's downloader system can now deal with some 'partial/interrupted download' situations and automatically resume from where it left off. If you ever saw a network job widget error out with 'was expecting 21.3MB but got 458KB', this will try to fix that!
The program should be better about saving the work of subscriptions that are running when you exit the program. The way their jobs ran was a little hacky, previously, so I moved them to the main worker pool everything else runs on and brushed up their shutdown signals. Let me know if you encounter any situations of them not shutting down nice and fast with client shutdown.
To help with debugging and other screenshotted reports, the UI now puts the program version number in the title of windows and dialogs. Also, if you previously set a custom 'main gui title' under options->gui, I have reset this this week and renamed it to 'application display name'--it now shows on all windows.
Big Sur macoS clients have had a problem for a while where menus spawned from dialogs can't be clicked. It seems to be a weird Qt bug. Until there is a better fix, I hacked together a new window to display the menu items instead. If you are a Big Sur user, let me know how it works for you. You can turn it off if you need to under options->gui.
I wrote a new help document, 'help my media files are broke.txt', in the install_dir/db directory. This collects the different repair routines I have developed with users who have run into trouble with broken drives or incomplete backup restores. If you are missing many files--or you know you have many surplus files--and were not sure how to fix the situation, please check it out!
I fixed the new 'advanced file deletion' checkboxes under options->files and trash! Sorry, they weren't hooked up right in 458!
