I had a good week, several system predicates have better range-based searching.
Full changelog: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/changelog.html
highlights
The system predicates for width, height, num_notes, num_words, num_urls, num_frames, duration, and framerate now support two different kinds of approximate equals (≈): absolute (±x), and percentage (±x%). Previously, the ≈ secretly just did ±15% in all cases, but now you set how and how far they go.
Also, any 'system:framerate' predicate that was '=' will now be converted to ±5%, which is what it was secretly doing before, and any 'system:duration' '=' predicate will also be converted to ±5%, which is what it really should have been doing before. 'system:duration' also allows hours/minutes input, for longer videos.
This predicate overhaul was an important cleanup job, replacing a ton of hacky ancient code with something that is easier to update and maintain. I've collapsed all these preds down to a lot of shared UI and logic, so let me know if there are any display/search quirks, but once we have it nailed down, I hope to replicate this work for the more complicated system predicates.
I reworked what 'Space' does in the media viewer by default. I am updating existing users too, so you'll probably get a little popup about it when you update. Essentially, if you are still on the default shortcuts, Space will now only send 'pause/play media'. It no longer does 'yes' on the archive/delete filter or 'this is better' on the duplicate filter. If you want to go back to how it was, sorry for the trouble--hit up file->shortcuts to set it back.
Thanks to a user, space also does a new 'Quick Look' for macOS users on thumbnails. Try it out! If you are a 'running from source' macOS user, make sure to rebuild your venv this week, or it won't work!
next week
I'd like to figure out incremental tagging on the manage tags dialog, so you can select 20 files and tag them page:7 through to page:26 in one step. Let's see how it goes.
