I had another short week, but I'm generally happy with the work, which was a mix of different things.

highlights
Thanks to a user's work, Export Folders now support exporting to symlinks! If you are on Windows, you may need to run hydrus in Admin mode for any symlink exporting to work (or, on Windows Pro, I believe you can mess around with Group Policy Editor to give normal user accounts the permission).
The newly upgraded 'Related Tags' shouldn't suggest superfluous siblings or parents any more! I'm pretty sure I got the logic right here, but let me know if it is still suggesting the wrong things somewhere.
Hydrus can now show a checkerboard pattern behind a transparent image instead of the normal background colour. There's two new checkboxes, in options->media and ->duplicates, to control it--by default I have set it just to show in the duplicate filter, where it is useful to have transparency pop when you are comparing two similar files.
next week
Yet again, I'm a little busy with IRL again next week, but otherwise should be normal. I'll do more work like this! Thanks for your patience!
