/hydrus/ - Hydrus Network

- fixes and misc:
- fixed a problem that made saved page file sorts reset their sort order one time on update to v492. thank you to a user for noticing this and discovering the fix, and I'm very sorry for the inconvenience of changing your session and favourite search sorts. unfortunately there is no easy fix other than rolling back to a backup and jumping forward to this version
- fixed a v492 message display error when setting various duplicate relationships to three or more thumbnails at once. it was a stupid typo, sorry for the trouble! (issue #1199)
- if a page tab name elides to a 'shorter...' length, it now has its full name as the tooltip
- fixed a typo in update code error handling (issue #1192)
- the duplicate filter page now remembers if you are 'searching immediately'/'search paused' (issue #1193)
- if you are on non-Windows and export files manually or with an export folder to an NTFS or exFAT partition, this is now detected, and NTFS-invalid characters in the pattern-generated folders or filename are now replaced with underscores (issue #1194)
- 'fixed' a system predicate bug in the 'OR*' advanced predicate parser--entering a logical expression that results in a negated system tag now causes an error. previously, it would strip the 'system:' and just enter the given text as an unnamespaced tag. furthermore, that dialog now reports specific error reasons when it fails to parse. I hope to improve support for negated system tags in future--some stuff, like archive/inbox, should be easy.
- I think I fixed an instance where the archive/delete filter's confirmation dialog could present 'delete from hard disk' as an option when it wasn't appropriate
- in an attempt to reduce the media-change flickering we've recently seen in the media viewer, I untangled a bunch of the canvas size/position code this week. I'm preparing a complete overhaul and neat Qt layout integration, which this starts. I _think_ I've made some things less flickery on occasion, but we'll see IRL. much more to do
- added a '--profile_mode' launch argument, which allows you to capture the performance of boot and also try out profile mode on the server (although support there is very limited atm)

next week

Next week is a medium size job week. I want to put some time into note parsing. I am not sure how far I can get, but fingers crossed I can actually get 'note import options' and a note content parser working, and we'll be able to update the existing downloaders to grab artist notes and things.

Don't know what I'm supposed to do to fix this or if it was broken before.
Hydrus v464, first time I've opened it in a few months and says you want feedback.

Ah, damn, I think that login script does not work any more, I think I remember another user saying this recently. If any script suddenly breaks, I recommend you disable the login (set it to 'active: no' under manage logins) and use Hydrus Companion instead, which will sync your cookies over from your logged-in browser and works a lot better for all unusual situations:

I will see about removing that rule34.xxx link in the defaults so new users don't get hit by this either.

Is there a way to change the upper limit on gifs from 32?
I'm trying to save a 52Mb sized gif and I got prompted with this message.

I had a great week with two big changes. First, there are Qt6 test builds for advanced users to try out, and second, in prep for a soon-to-come Note Import Options, I added filetype filtering and 'use default at time of import' tech to File Import Options.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

Sure, check the 'File Import Options' of the importer you are working on. There's a setting in there just for gif size. options->importing for your default settings.
