I had a good week mostly fixing bugs.

important fixes
When adding the tag filter last week, some users got errors appearing on shutdown. Thankfully, the problem was mostly harmless, but it was a surprise, and annoying, and I regret it. It believe in a legacy issue that some users had a different internal datatype that made it difficult to save the synced tag filter. I am confident I have fixed it this week, but let me know if you have any more trouble.
The macOS app has had trouble booting since v505. Thanks to help from several users, we finally pinned down the issue and got a fix. Also, we are switching the macOS release to a slightly different version of Qt, the UI library, and the .dmg is now half the size (548MB->258MB!).
other highlights
There are several menu-spawning buttons across the program that can be changed by scrolling the mouse over them. Good example is the 'ascending/descending' buttons for file sort or the taglist sort. If you find this behaviour annoying, you can now turn it off under options->gui!
If you run from source and are willing to test new things out, you might like to run setup-venv again this week. The advanced install route now has a '(t)est' Qt version that tries out 6.4.0. This new release has a heap of bug fixes, but it caused problems when it first launched, and I'd like to get some feedback on it before again trying to roll it into the built releases.
I fixed a bunch of bad thumbnail handling/rendering, but there is more work to do.
next week
A cleanup week. More small fixes and UI tweaks, nothing too dramatic.
