The 532a is a hotfix, I messed something up with the new pixiv parser first time around.

I had a good week. I've improved stability and added some little features.

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

stability

Some damaged videos were causing mpv to dump out in a way Qt was unhappy with, and it lead to black video screens that would crash after a few clicks. I have written a new error-catching system that should recognise these specific files and immediately unload them along with a warning to the user. Also, all other general errors (like missing metadata or chapter marks, which are common for our sort of files) are now printed to your log for future investigation. As we learn more, I expect to add more 'unload this immediately' and 'don't print to log, this error is nbd' hooks here in future.

The macOS release has unfortunately been unstable for some/all users since v530. Clicking on lists can simply not work and then suddenly cause a crashe. With some user help, I have learned an important potential crash in Qt and tightened up all the respective areas in hydrus code. If you are a macOS user and have had trouble, let me know how you get on with today's release. If you still get crashes from simple list interaction (e.g. in manage subscriptions), please revert to v529, which does not appear to have the problem. There have been no big database changes since then, so all you have to do is re-install v529 and you should be good to go.

The above macOS error handling improvements may have fixed some other unexplained crashes. What once caused a crash should now appear as a normal popup error. Let me know what you see.

other highlights

When you hit one of the 'open these files in a new page' commands, the new page is now   search-enabled and starts with a 'system:hashes' of the files it opened with. This lets you quickly add more search predicates to narrow down the selection!

When you right-click a tag, the 'search' menu now lets you open the tag(s) in a new duplicate filter page!

I updated the pixiv downloader again. A couple weeks ago, Pixiv decided that if you aren't logged in, you can't get the 'original' quality of an image. I updated the downloader before my vacation by telling it to get the resized version, but as this was importing low quality files silently, it was not a great idea. I have given it another go, and now, if you aren't logged in to pixiv, it sets those files as 'ignored' and the 'note' on the file log mentions you need to be logged in to get the original quality. If you want the previous 'get the medium quality' version, it is now selectable as a different parser for 'pixiv file page api' under network->downloader components->manage url class links.

next week

I'd like to sink my teeth into a medium size job. It'd be nice to finally catch up on some serverside tech for more PTR updates.
I had an ok week. I didn't get to the larger work I wanted, but I managed to finish a mix of small stuff. There's some bug fixes, UI quality of life, and an important crash fix for macOS.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.
