- misc:
- fixed show/hiding the main gui splitters after a regression in v502. also, keyboard focus after these events should now be less jank
- thanks to a user, the Deviant Art parser we rolled back to recently now gets video support. I also added artist tag parsing like the api parser used to do
- if you use the internal client database backup system, it now says in the menu when it was last run. this menu doesn't update often, so I put a bit of buffer in where it says 'did one recently'. let me know if the numbers here are ever confusing
- fixed a bug where the database menu was not immediately updating the first time you set a backup location
- if an apng has sub-millisecond frame durations (seems to be jitter-apngs that were created oddly), these are now each rounded up to 1ms. any apngs that previously appeared to have 0 duration now have borked-tiny but valid duration and will now import ok
- the client now catches 529 error responses from servers (service is overloaded) and treats them like a 429/509 bandwidth problem, waiting for a bit before retrying. more work may be needed here
- the new popup toaster should restore from minimised better
- fixed a subtle bug where trashing and untrashing a file when searching the special 'all my files' domain would temporarily sort that file at the front/end of sorting by 'import time'
- added 'dateutil present' to _help->about_ and reordered all the entries for readability
- brushed up the network job response-bytes-size counting logic a little more
- cleaned up the EVT_ICONIZE event processing wx/Qt patch

- running from source is now easy on Windows:
- as I expect to drop Qt5 support in the builds next week, we need an easy way for Windows 7 and other older-OS users to run from source. I am by no means an expert at this, but I have written some easy-setup scripts that can get you running the client in Windows from nothing in a few minutes with no python experience
- the help is updated to reflect this, with more pointers to 'running from source', and that page now has a new guide that takes you through it all in simple steps
- there's a client-user.bat you can edit to add your own launch parameters, and a setup_help.bat to build the help too
- all the requirements.txts across the program have had a full pass. all are now similarly formatted for easy future editing. it is now simple to select whether you want Qt5 or Qt6, and seeing the various differences between the documents is now obvious
- the .gitignore has been updated to not stomp over your venv, mpv/ffmpeg/sqlite, or client-user.bat
- feedback on how this works and how to make it better would be appreciated, and once we are happy with the workflow, I will invite Linux and macOS users to generate equivalent .sh and .command scripts so we are multiplatform-easy
