I had a good week. The long-awaited incremental tagger is ready, and the program supports some more document types. You will get a yes/no on update, but it isn't a big deal.

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

incremental tagger

When you open the manage tags dialog on several thumbnails, it now has a '±' button that lets you tag the files 'page:1', 'page:2', 'page:3' and so on. You can set the namespace (or no namespace), the starting point (so you can start at 'page:18' if you need to), the 'step' (so you can count by +2, or even -1 to decrement), and even prefix/suffix for the number if you need to decorate with 'page:x (wip)' or something.

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

highlights

You are going to get a couple yes/no dialogs on update this week talking about deleting some mis-parsed URLs. If you do not manually store weird data in your 'known urls' store, just click yes. If you have lots of URLs, the work will take a couple of minutes.

I had a good week. The 'incremental tagger' system is working, allowing you to tag page:3, page:4, page:5 ... page:17 and similar to a selection of files, and .docx files are now importable.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

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.

html sidecar attempt Anonymous 02/17/2024 (Sat) 15:00 Id: 897e41 [Preview] No. 1603 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
Hey,

Since my last message, I recently had time to work with Hydrus, and I developed a semi-functional parser for my HTML files. However, I don't want to include the description string in the tags, so I need to remove it. However, I'm not sure how to do this. I assume that it has something to do with the "string selector/slicer" component, but I'm not sure how that component works. I managed to do an incredibly crude filter by regex filtering by ^[^<]+$, which blocks the < in html tags, but this will presumably fail for any description that doesn't include html tags, for whatever reason. I would really appreciate your advice on this. If you need to see my (bad) code, I have attached the code to copy as a text file.

Thanks!

Ps: I can't import sidecar parsers through pngs, as the file selection dialogue doesn't show png files, just folders. Is there something I'm doing wrong?


Anonymous Board owner 02/24/2024 (Sat) 19:22 Id: 7fe2bb [Preview] No.1607 del
Yeah, this is tricky. I still think your best answer is to wait for me to implement a proper xml/html parser for sidecars, or do the parsing yourself in an external script (e.g. with python) and then convert your html into nicer .txt files that hydrus can suck up easier. You could also filter your undesired tags better there.

If the 'description' string is always in the same location, and that location is always the first or last index of your list of strings, then the 'string selector' might help. It does list slicing like in programming, if you are familiar, like "my_list[4:6]". If you aren't familiar with that, or the description is in the middle of the list here, you are correct in trying a string match, which is basically a filter.

If the description line has a classname in the html, you might be able to exclude it with a string match before you Split/Convert all the html garbage away.

I am not totally sure what you mean by being unable to import by pngs, but if I click 'import->from pngs' (pic related is from the 'sidecars' tab of the 'add tags/urls with the import' dialog after you drop some files on the client), I get a file dialog that allows me to import a png like this. Do you get different?

Hey,

Sorry that it took me a while to respond. I figured out a solution to my html parsing issue. Apparently, the parser first splits sidecars by the specified string, then passes the split strings onto the postprocessor, breaking the regex splitting I used in the process, before then passing it back to the parser, where it is then split by the string again and saved. I figured out a solution to this problem, but thanks for your help anyways. To answer your questions about the parser import, I am using Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon with qt6.5.2, rather than windows, and the pngs do not appear in the window. Maybe the apis are different? I attached a screenshot of this, if that helps.

Thanks for your help!

Ps: why is this client writing TBs of data to my ssd while processing the PTR? I understand if it writes a lot, but multiple TBs (according to some math I did, I haven't gotten that far yet, just ~750gb) still seems a bit excessive. I attached a screenshot of this too.

I was looking at launch options to fix the storage issue, do you think that --no_db_temp_files would help? I have 16gb ram, is that enough?

Yeah, the write is most likely temp storage. I've heard that in some situations, the actual amount written to disk is less since some temp-file magic means some of the shortest-lived data is purged from the write cache before it can actually be committed, but I don't have good numbers on the topic.

The PTR does a lot of database work. The no_db_temp_files parameter will reduce it by a good amount. Not sure how much, but it would reduce it.

Increasing db_transaction_commit_period may also reduce it, I think, since it will reduce the commit frequency (at the cost of increasing per-transaction size, which will strain your temp folder and slow processing time).

A user also wrote this document with a lot of related info, if it helps: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/Fixing_Hydrus_Random_Crashes_Under_Linux.html

I'm not a Linux expert myself, so I can't talk super confidently here. Let me know how you get on!

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

macOS

A user has improved the macOS release in many ways, mostly in brushing up the App to normal macOS standards. The menubar should now plug into native global bar, with some standardised command labels. The program icon is better, some colours should be improved, dialog menus are no longer a crazy hack by default, and the system tray icon is turned on. In a side thing, I also added Cmd+W to close pretty much any dialog or non-main-gui window in macOS, just like hitting Escape.

html sidecars - possible? Anonymous 02/10/2024 (Sat) 00:47 Id: d856bf [Preview] No. 1598 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
Hey,

I was recently trying to import some files into hydrus that I had downloaded using gallery-dl. Thanks to a config-file mistake, all the tag files were saved as html pages. Is there a way to use regex to extract the tags? I attached one of the html files, if that helps.

Thanks!


Anonymous Board owner 02/14/2024 (Wed) 22:15 Id: 4f6ce1 [Preview] No.1600 del
In future I hope to have an xml/html parser for sidecars, but I can't promise when it will be ready. So, if you have time, I think save these for later. Otherwise, parse them yourself and make JSON/txt files, or just run the download again if possible.

I had a mixed week. Thumbnail rearranging is added, and some bugs and quality of life issues are cleared.

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

thumbnail rearranging

So, if you right-click any thumbnail, you'll now see a 'move' menu. This makes it simple to rearrange your thumbnails. You can move your current selection to the start, the end, left one, right one, or 'to here' if you have multiple selected. If your multiple selection is non-contiguous, it will be made so on move, with the move focusing around the position of the first selected item.

I was suddenly without internet for a while, so there was no release last week, but everything is back to normal now, and I had a great couple weeks' work. The 'edit times' dialog can now handle multiple files.

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

editing times for multiple files at once

If you launch 'edit times' on a single file, everything is the same. If you open it on a larger selection, it will now show, in a summarised way, the range of each particular time type, and how many files in the selection have or do not have a time set there. The controls all work as before, but in general, when you set a time, all files are now locked to that new time. Give it a play and you'll see how it all works.

misc

In v559, it turns out I did make a '54 years ago' mistake, on moving files from one local file domain to another. This is fixed, and on database update, any borked timestamps that were saved should be corrected too. Let me know if you encounter any more issues.

Mr Bones and the File History Chart are now under the database menu.

There's a new checkbox under 'files and trash', 'Remove files from view when they are moved to another local file domain'. This actually re-introduces the unintended behaviour we had a couple weeks ago, which was happening under 'remove when trashed', but targeted to the correct logical trigger.

The gallery downloader cog button now has a 'don't add new dupes' option, which discards the query_text/source pairs you add if they are already in the download list. If you need to paste a hundred queries from a big mishmash list, I think this will help.

As a very brief test, I've added 'sort files by pixel hash'. If you have some pixel hashes in your current query, this will make them stand out, but the rest of the sort data is meaningless. I had wanted to try out some similar hacky new tech with 'sort by perceptual hash', but thumbnails don't have quick access to that data yet, so it'll have to wait.

I wasn't sure when my internet was going to come back up, so I dumped a bunch of time into some longer cleanup jobs. There's a ton of updated code behind the scenes, particularly around the way files get informed about new metadata, but nothing you need to care about. I have some new plans here and can see the path to getting all sorts of new metadata commands integrated into the shortcut and undo systems. I changed a couple thousand lines, so there may be a typo bug somewhere--let me know if you try to set any unusual content changes and it throws an error!

next week

Now we have tech that relies on file order, I think it is time we get the ability to conveniently reorder thumbnails. This will also help when I figure out cascading tagging in 'manage tags'. I'd love to have reordering by simple drag and drop, but that may be too complicated to slip into one week. I'll see what I can do.

My internet came back today, and despite the problems, I had a great couple of weeks of work.

There are also some miscellanious bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
