I had a good week. Mr Bones gets an update. If you run from source, you might like to rebuild your venv today to get some new parsing support.

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

Mr Bones

So, the statistics under help->how boned am I? now have an attached file search. The numbers will change based on whatever you search, so you can now see the average size of your pngs, the archive/delete ratio for creator x, how many times you have viewed pictures of sonic the hedgehog, or any other search you can think up. The default search is what the dialog was fixed to before, 'system:everything' on 'all my files'.

This turned out to be surprisingly complicated, and to stop it spiralling in complexity, I culled some of the odder scenarios. If you do a multiple-file-domain search, you won't get 'deleted' or 'earliest import' numbers. And if you search 'deleted from x', you are going to get some jank logic. EDIT: I also disabled the potential dupes count right before release, it was performing awfully on my large IRL database. Keep it simple, and let me know what turns up. I love these sorts of weird statistics.

I'd like to do the same for the file history chart soon. Should be a bit easier!

misc

PSDs should render more quickly and with less memory!

PDFs no longer spam the log on thumbnail generation!

Bitmaps files (.bmp) are now fully supported. Since the program started, these have been converted to png on import, mostly because the bmp format personally annoys me. This was always in conflict with the tenet that hydrus not alter files in any way, and I think it was ultimately a mistake. Bitmaps now stay as-is, and we've happily untied a couple of awkward knots in the code as a result.

If you are a downloader maker, there's a new 'datestring to timestamp (easy)' String Converter step. It uses an excellent external library ('dateparser') that can parse pretty much any datestring you can think of, including stuff like '2 hours ago'. If you run from source, this is the thing you are rebuilding for today. I have left all the existing 'datestring to timestamp' conversion steps in place for now, as '(advanced)', but if this new step integrates well, I think it'll supercede them and I may ultimately convert them all over.

next week

I'm going to have a busy week IRL, so work might be limited. I trudged through more file storage overhaul this week, and while I didn't finish the 'max num bytes' option as I had hoped, it is all ready behind the scenes. I just need to put some UI together and I think we'll have it working.
