I had a good week back after the holiday. There are some bug fixes and improvements to system:hash parsing.
Full changelog: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/changelog.html
highlights
Tag filters (which operate the various tag whitelists/blacklists across the program) now edit much much faster when they are full up with stuff. You can paste 5,000 items into an empty tag filter in less than a second now, and removing one or a handful of items from a filter with thousands of items already in is now instant. Previously, these things could take many seconds or even minutes due to inefficient overhead.
CBZs that have four or fewer pages should now be recognised correctly.
When you copy 'system:hash' and the 'system:similar to' predicates to clipboard, you now get a much longer string that includes all the hashes in the predicate. These copied strings are all parsable, meaning you can paste them into the same client elsewhere or a different client entirely and it should all just work in a complete loop. The human labels are updated to give you more information, too.
There may be other predicates that are currently parsable if you type carefully but do not themselves copy a parsable string, but I am not sure which they are, so if you run into one, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
If you run from source on Windows--or you'd like to--but you haven't installed the extremely convenient but bulky-to-install 'Git for Windows', I had to go through the installer again to set up my new dev machine, and I wrote out a guide for the full 12-page wizard here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/running_from_source.html#core It is actually easy to do, and almost everything can be left as default and things will be fine. In any case, Git is great and lets you update in about three seconds, so if you run from source on Windows, give it a go!
next week
My old dev machine died just before Christmas, but I bought a new one and am back to normal work. For next week, I'd like to get some sort of system:num_urls figured out.
