- file import options overhaul:
- I wanted to do note parsing this week, but when I reviewed the whole job, there wasn't enough time to do it properly. so, in prep for a cleaner introduction of 'note import options' next week, I am overhauling how the other import options do some stuff
- all file import options now support filetype filtering! it uses the same control as system:filetype or in import folders, but with some improved logic. on update, existing import folder filetype settings will be copied down to the file import options
- file import options now work on a similar 'default' system as tag import options. existing file import options will stay as-is, but new ones will begin in a 'use the default settings at time of import' state. those defaults are editable under _options->importing_. for now I am not adding a 'use this file import options default for this web domain' system, but it might happen in future. let's see how this all shakes out first
- the file import options button now has a right-click menu like the tag import options button
- the manage subscriptions panel now has a 'overwrite file import options' button to mass-set FIO
- cleaned up a bunch of old file import and import options code
- .
- misc:
- system:filetype now remembers meta filetypes better. if you select 'all video', it will now still select all video even if hydev adds support for a new video type in future. also if you select 'video + animations', it'll say that rather than listing out every possible specific-type
- fixed an issue where loading a favourite search wasn't always setting 'include current/pending' values on the buttons correct
- fixed up a status display in the gallery downloader and watcher pages--if you pause an importer while it is doing work, it now says 'pausing...' as its status until any current jobs are finished. it was giving empty text before, as if it were finished already
- fixed some unusual behaviour with downloader highlighting where the first query pended to an empty page was secretly highlighted for the next session load, and fixed the 'subscription gap downloader' also doing this and not obeying the normal 'highlight new downloaders if nothing already highlighted' option
- improved the error when the 'make sure this directory exists' function runs into a file with that pathname
- fixed a rare selection position error, maybe Qt6 only, when clicking in the thumbnail grid as it is loading
- .
- boring Qt6 code cleanup:
- as a side thing, I set up quick-launch environments for QtPy5, QtPy6, PySide2, and PySide6 in my IDE this week, so I can now test all these situations and jump back in time no problem in future
- integrated a user's patch to bring us up to Qt6 compatibility and did a little more work to get it backwards compatible with older qtpy and Qt5
- refactored the critical Qt boot setup and monkeypatching from QtPorting to a new QtInit module
- migrated the hydrus code for keyboardModifiers, event-pos, and globalPos all to the Qt6 equivalents so the monkeypatching is always going to be on older versions looking forward
- fiddled with QPoint and QPointF conversions a little so I _think_ Qt5 and Qt6 is always talking about the same type
- updated build scripts and requirements.txts for the new situation
- updated the help a bit for the new situation
next week
Note Import Options! I'm going to focus on it. I'll see if I can merge all the Import Options together, get the note merge tech we need working and tested, and then get some actual note parsing working in the downloader so we can play around with it.
