I had a good week mostly fixing small things.

highlights

I fixed some issues with last week's URL improvements. It is mostly advanced stuff, so if you are a downloader maker, please check the changelog.

For regular users who download from certain sites that can produce multiple files from one post (I am told that Pixiv was not affected, but Inkbunny was), I am afraid I made a stupid mistake that meant only the first file of those posts was being downloaded. This is now fixed, so if this affected you and you have a bunch of subscriptions, let's fix it: once you are in v569, load your subscriptions up and sort their queries by 'last check time'. Select what has run in the last week, copy the query texts, and then paste them into a new gallery search page with the file limit set to something like 50. Your client will go over what was missed and fill in any gaps.

I harmonised some search logic related to 'system:duration = 0', '<1', '!=0', and other variants around the zero edge case, for duration and the other simple predicates I updated a while ago. When I first wrote this, I tried to thread a needle of logic where in some cases it would return files with no duration and sometimes it would not, but it all ended up a mess, so, from now on, searching for any simple quantity that would include '0' will now include any file that has no value for that property. (e.g. an mp3 has no width, so now system:width < 200 will include mp3s).

If you are a Linux user who uses a hydrus.desktop file, check the changelog! You'll probably want to rename it, and it might even fix your program icon.

I fixed the 'remember last used default tag service in manage tag dialogs' checkbox and dropdown in options->search. It wasn't saving right, sorry for the trouble!

future build

I have a new 'Future Build' ready. This is a build the same as the one above, but it uses newer python and libraries. We do not know if those libraries cause any dll conflicts on any OSes, so if you are an advanced user and would like to help me test it, please check out this link:

next week

More small jobs. If I can, I'd like to focus on some UI quality of life.
