I had a good week. PDF files get thumbnails and more metadata, and there's some improved system predicate parsing.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

Sup mate, glad to see AI tagging come along! I ran into an issue with the 540 version on Linux (been using Qt5 before that, 490 something):

"This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized."

From what I understand Qt is a framework to draw the windows of programs and you made a change from the old Qt5 to the new Qt6 at some point in time. The 490 something version in Qt5 ran flawlessly, so I'll try to use that until a fix is found.

Of course I used a search engine and found the solutions to check for possibly missing dependencies of Qt and running"export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=<qt base path>/plugins" to presumably tell Qt where to find its plugin?

Another recommended running "export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen" to change the plugin used for Qt to the "offscreen" plugin instead of xcb? Neither worked.

Anyways, just letting you know and maybe you can shed some light on this. In case I missed reading some part of the documentation or overlooked some other simple thing just let me know then I'll have another look at this myself.

I had a good week. There's a variety of work: some bug fixes, optimisations, quality of life, a new tool for the parsing system, parent and sibling fetching on the Client API, and support for more new filetypes.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

Sorry for the trouble. Yeah, we have been through a couple of Qt bumps this past year. I just pushed us up to 6.5.2 a couple weeks ago and that caused its own headaches on certain Wayland-using Linux machines. Your problem, yeah, seems to be that Qt6 just won't load. No worries.

In general, I now recommend that all Linux users who are on anything even slightly unusual now run from source. This lets you customise which version of these important libraries you are running. This Qt business kickstarted me into making this process simple, and I can now happily point you here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/running_from_source.html

There's a simple setup script to run now that'll take you through all the steps. You obviously want to select the 'Qt(5)' option in the setup.

Let me know if you have any more trouble.

No need to apologize. Yeah I saw a lot of Qt related back and forth in the documentation and I get that such a framework upgrade causes quite a lot of difficulties with various Linux versions. Especially with "slightly unusual" distros, which absolutely applies here. Tails is based on Debian, but adapts software upgrades slowly (Debian itself is already slow) and Debian-Kicksecure and Whonix are very similar in that.

I will check out the building from source instructions, thanks!

I did import from newer hydrus versions to older ones, where the saved URLs were imported as a simple tag. Is there a process to convert that simple tag again into the URL for each file?

So far, have a nice weekend! :)

I had an ok week. I was a little ill, so I couldn't get the big stuff I wanted done, but I did clear out a mix of mostly bug fixes. There's also a little extra system:filetype predicate parsing and faster file maintenance.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

I had an ok week. You can type in system:rating predicates, PSD files show fully in the media viewer, and there are some additional quality of life improvements.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

I had a great week. The 'delete big database stuff in the background' system is finished, there's support for HEIC, HEIF, and AVIF, I fixed a bunch of bugs, and there's updates to some core libraries that should improve UI quality of life.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

I had an ok week. There's a new selector for filetypes (in system:filetype and File Import Options), a new database-deletion routine that makes deleting large services like the PTR instant, and a variety of small bug fixes.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

There's also some quality of life improvements. There's a little layout improvement. The current petition type you are working on is now highlighted with a '*' on the respective button. The page also remembers what type of petitions you were looking at, and what you set the 'show this many files' widget to, and the new 'how many petitions to fetch' value.

Now, what works in my small testing environment may struggle at scale, especially the PTR. I dump a good amount of new CPU into selecting this new petition list, so maybe fetching 40 petitions takes too long and you have to turn it down to 10, or maybe this lags out when you get a 100,000 mapping petition, or maybe the queue order is borked somehow. This is just a first version of this new system, so let me know how it works and I'll tune it.

And there is more I already want to do. The new list could do with a right-click menu for copying account id and retrying failures, and some of the widgets (sort-by, num files) could do with some show/hide tech on petition types they don't apply to, and it would be nice to have some shortcuts working. I also think the management panel is too tall now, so maybe I'll fold it somehow into tabs, or allow a double-wide panel, or just have more aggressive show/hide or resizable layout? In any case, I'll keep banging away at this.

next week

I've got a ton of normal small work piled up, so I'm back to that for a while. Thanks for your patience.

I had a mixed week, a bit short on productivity. Despite a light changelog, there's a neat fix to the 'this tag is still in my autocomplete even though I deleted it from everything' problem, and, thanks to user help, support for importing XCF and gzip files.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

I had a good productive week. I fixed many bugs, including some bad bitmap pasting and the worst media viewer note layout issues, improved some quality of life, and added file rating viewing and editing to the Client API. There’s also some user work, including .sai2 file support.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

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.

I had a good week. I fixed some bugs and improved program stability in multiple places--with luck, I have eliminated several crashes. There's also a couple neat updates to 'open these files in a new page'.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.
