𝕸𝖊𝖗𝖗𝖞 𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖒𝖆𝖘!

I had a good week fixing some things and adding some new options.

highlights

First off, if you uploaded to v510 and had problems uploading to the PTR, sorry for the trouble! I missed something last week with an object update, and it impacted the network protocol. Thanks for the reports--I figured out a serverside patch and we updated the PTR.

I also fixed some logic in 'file import options' where it uses URLs and parsed hashes to predict if a file is 'already in db' or 'previously deleted' before a download. Some edge cases, particularly where many urls were mapped to one file, were not working quite right, and hashes tended to be overly dispositive. Ultimately, this thing should now be better at saving you bandwidth. The options here, which can be seen by advanced users, have updates too--check the changelog and tooltips for explanations.

If you have a large monitor and UI scale >100%, your thumbnails have looked bad for a while. Please check the new 'Thumbnail UI scale supersampling %' option under options->thumbnails. Set it to your monitor's UI scale, and your thumbnails should regen to be crisp. Let me know how it goes!

If you are into clever tag searching, check out the new 'unnamespaced input gives (any namespace) wildcard results' option under services->manage tag display and search. This is a first attempt to bring back the old 'unnamespaced search tags search namespaced variants' tech we used to have. It makes it so typing in an unnamespaced tag will give you the '*:subtag' variants quickly. These wildcards are labelled specially now, too.

next week

I am taking my Christmas vacation week! I'm going to spend some time with family and get lost in vidya. The week after, I'll see about sinking my teeth back into the serverside tag filter. v512 should be out January the 4th.

Thanks everyone!
