The new incremental tagging is great and the default was what I needed. The move feature saved me too, because "oldest first" has the tenth image in the set imported first for whatever reason, and it looks like they put the 28th image at the end, forgot to post it whil posting the set. Everything seems to be working and nothing to report, I would love a "move forward/backwards x" popup in the future if practical.

I upgraded my client
464 > 474 > 509 > 529 > 554 > 578
I technically could have skipped 529 since 509 > 554 gave me an error about regenerating missing ratings tables, and I don't use ratings at all (yet), but since it said it was a "serious error" I went ahead and added the extra step anyways. 529 > 554 still gave me a "may or may not be serious" message about some sort of table entries for ratings I think, but since I don't use them, I just went ahead. Other than that, I didn't ignore any warnings aside from the bitrot notice, which led to the path above.

I do have one other thing to mention, the page tags are fine but when I open my collection to page through it, it starts oldest-first (so the image correctly tagged page 10). This didn't change when I changed the way I sorted things to something else, it still shows the collection in import time order instead of page order, and the thumbnail is that oldest, page 10, image. Is that just how collections work or do I need to change some setting not available in the files tab?

>>1652
Never mind, it finally occurred to me I can select portions and move them past the single file together instead.

I had a great week back into things. I improved UI quality of life with some better list workflow and regex editing, cut down on import folder inefficiency, and fixed an annoying problem in the known URL checking logic.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

Not sure if I am totally understanding you, but collections have the same internal sort as the outer sort you have set on the page. If you set to sort by import time, collections will sort their internal files by import time and then sort amongst themselves by import time too (usually by something like their minimum held import time, or for metadata that aggregates appropriately, total filesize for filesize). So, if you have paged content collected, I recommend you always sort by 'namespaces->creator-series-volume-chapter-page' kind of thing, and collect-by creator+chapter or similar.

In future I expect I'll add a second sort for collection internals, or an override option, or something, but it is stuck for now.

Hi dev, I have a question.
If I already have some images I want to be a collection tagged with their shared title, and I already have them in the proper page order (via time imported or so on), is there an easy way to just select a range of thumbnails and apply page tags to them, starting with 1 for the first?
I'm looking to avoid exporting and reimporting with regex stuff

I had a good week making some simple improvements before my break. There is also full support for animated webps!

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

>>1647
Yeah, you are in luck since I only added this a little while ago--hit up the normal manage tags dialog and then click the new '±' button that is just above the tag text input. This launches a little sub-dialog that can do all sorts of incremental tagging. Note that right-clicking thumbnails has a submenu called 'move' that lets you reorganise things, too.

Let me know if you run into any trouble with it!

>>1648
I really am lucky, thanks.
Time to update!

I had an ok week. I fixed some bugs and cleaned up some UI. There's also support for 'open with' and 'file properties' in Windows.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

I had a great week. I cleaned some jank code, fixed some bugs, improved some downloader UI, and massively reduced file load lag when there are many imports going on.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

I'm glad for you.

I had a good week. I wrote a new database maintenance routine (which should fix the PTR '404' bug) and some small UI improvements and code cleanup.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

I had a good week. I improved some quality of life, added an experimental new tagging tab, and have a simple tweet downloader working again.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

the rest

The archive/delete filter gets a couple of workflow changes: first, if you finish a filter and there is more than one possible local file service to delete from, those 'commit' buttons are now disabled for 1.2 seconds. This is to catch you from spamming 'enter' through this dialog when it is suddenly different (I've done this myself more than once). Second, if you hate the idea of these buttons being disabled, and you always want to delete from all local file services anyway, please hit the new 'when finishing filtering, always delete from all possible domains' checkbox under options->files and trash, which lets you always have a simple 'commit' dialog that only shows 'delete from all local file services'.

The client now tries to load truncated images by default. The damaged images it now allows might be missing one pixel in the bottom right, or have a few lines of grey at the bottom, or might appear fine but just have some crazy metadata, but they won't, fingers crossed, fail with a 'malformed image' error any more. We had some stability problems with this mode some years ago, so I turned it off and only allowed it on in a debug menu on a per-session basis, but the situation seems to have cleared up, so it is now back on. If you need to turn it off, hit options->media.

Any time you have a normal single column list in the program, e.g. the list of URLs in 'manage urls', you can hit Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert and now it'll copy better strings (e.g. without '(1)' decorator cruft), and it'll copy every row you have selected.

I wrote a new emergency help document, 'help my db disappeared.txt', for the install_dir/db folder. If you ever boot up and get the 'this looks like the first time you have run the program' popup, there's now a guide to figure out what the hell happened.

next week

I didn't find the time to get to the 'share' menu rewrite, so I'll try again.

I had a good if simple week. The 'share' menu (off of thumbnails or the media viewer) is completely overhauled, and everything in it added to the shortcuts system.

The release should be as normal tomorrow.

I had a mixed week. I did some boring stuff, some quality of life, and folded the 'future build' updates into the main release. Users who use the manual 'extract' releases will have special update instructions.

The release should otherwise be as normal tomorrow.

I had a good week. I worked on simple bug fixes, code cleanup, and quality of life.
