I had an ok week. I figured out 'system:number of urls', and you can now import rtf files!

Full changelog: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/changelog.html

highlights

So, you can now search for 'num URLs'. You will find it under a new stub, 'system:urls', at the bottom of the normal system predicate list (where 'system:known urls' has also moved). This first version is simple--it counts all URLs, regardless of how important, but I can see a future version having the ability to scan by 'post URLs' or specific URL classes. Give it a go and let me know if you run into any trouble!

Also, thanks to a user, you can now import rtf files! There's no word count yet, but I think it should be doable in future.

If you select multiple tags, you can now hide or favourite them all at once. There's a bit of workflow and presentation improvement here, too.

The old 'tag suggestions' box called 'favourites' is now called 'most used'. It was stupid to have two tag systems called 'favourites', so this is now fixed. You still edit them under options->tag suggestions; they just have a more precise and less confusing name now.

If you are an advanced macOS user (i.e. you know how to build something with xcode), you might like to check out Hydra Vista, a new user-made macOS App that presents your client (via the Client API, e.g., perhaps on another computer) in a booru-like wrapper. https://github.com/konkrotte/hydravista

next week

I would like to add timestamp editing to the Client API.
