I had an ok week. Tag autocomplete search should be a bit nicer to work with today!

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

tag autocomplete

I rewrote the part of tag autocomplete search that handles showing you early results. The whole thing works better and is smoother.

First off, every time you type something like 'cat' and the search is taking a while, you should now always get 'cat' and 'species:cat' and anything else that might match, with counts, and your selection will be preserved when the full results come in. Quick-entering a tag on both search pages and the manage tags dialog should be faster, easier, and more reliable. This is roughly how things used to work, a long time ago, but the various updates and new options I've added over the years made it patchy and buggy--it should be working again, and with some new quality of life improvements.

Secondly, I've improved sibling lookup in the manage tags dialog. You should now always see siblings, on the pre-results above and the final results, even if the siblings have no count. I think we might want some options for handling how these display and rank (e.g. 'always put the ideal of what I typed at the top of the list'), so see what you think.

Lastly, when you search for tags on a page of thumbnail results, you now get some pre-fetch results very quickly! The full results, which have extra sibling lookup data, will fill in a few seconds later, but, fingers crossed, there will be no more huge waits for anything on thumbnail tag lookups!

misc

The system:time predicates now support hh:mm, like '10:30pm', on the calendar search! Should be easy to cut a day in half now.

I believe I have optimised some content update code. If you have a client with a large page of thumbnails, particularly if that page uses collect-by, let me know if your subscriptions and/or 'upload pending mappings' run a bit smoother.

If you are an advanced Windows user, please check out the bottom of the changelog for an mpv test. I'd like to test out a new dll on a wide range of machines.

next week

My ongoing family IRL stuff is winding down. I'm still going to have extra responsibilities for another month or so, but it shouldn't be too bad. I'd like to have a medium-size job week, and I want to have some fun, so I'm going to try to make a 'click to increment' integer rating service.
