- Qt5:
- as a reminder, I am no longer supporting Qt5 with the official builds. if you are on Windows 7 (and I have heard at least one version of Win 8.1), or a similarly old OS, you likely cannot run the official builds now. if this is you, please check the 'running from source' guide in the help, which will allow you to keep updating the program. this process is now easy in Windows and should be similarly easy on other platforms soon
- .
- misc:
- if you run from source in windows, the program _should_ now have its own taskbar group and use the correct hydrus icon. if you try and pin it to taskbar, it will revert to the 'python' icon, but you can give a shortcut to a batch file an icon and pin that to start
- unfortunately, I have to remove the 'deviant art tag search' downloader this week. they killed the old API we were using, and what remaining open date-paginated search results the site offers is obfuscated and tokenised (no permanent links), more than I could quickly unravel. other downloader creators are welcome to give it a go. if you have a subscription for a da tag search, it will likely complain on its next run. please pause it and try to capture the best artists from that search (until DA kill their free artist api, then who knows what will happen). the oauth/phone app menace marches on
- focus on the thumbnail panel is now preserved whenever it swaps out for another (like when you refresh the search)
- fixed an issue where cancelling service selection on database->c&r->repopulate truncated would create an empty modal message
- fixed a stupid typo in the recently changed server petition counting auto-fixing code
- .
- importer/exporter sidecar expansion:
- when you import or export files from/to disk, either manually or automatically, the option to pull or send tags to .txt files is now expanded:
- - you can now import or export URLs
- - you can now read or write .json files
- - you can now import from or export to multiple sidecars, and have multiple separate pipelines
- - you can now give sidecar files suffixes, for ".tags.txt" and similar
- - you can now filter and transform all the strings in this pipeline using the powerful String Processor just like in the parsing system
- this affects manual imports, manual exports, import folders, and export folders. instead of smart .txt checkboxes, there's now a button leading to some nested dialogs to customise your 'routers' and, in manual imports, a new page tab in the 'add tags before import' window
- this bones of this system was already working in the background when I introduced it earlier this year, but now all components are exposed
- new export folders now start with the same default metadata migration as set in the last manual file export dialog
- this system will expand in future. most important is to add a 'favourites' system so you can easily save/load your different setups. then adding more content types (e.g. ratings) and .xml. I'd also like to add purely internal file-to-itself datatype transformation (e.g. pulling url:(url) tags and converting them to actual known urls, and vice versa)
