I had a good week working on a mix of stuff.

highlights

I may have fixed a program freeze when minimising to tray via the close button (the settings for this are under options->system tray). If you have had trouble with this before, please, when you are at a convenient point to risk a hang, try it again and see if you have trouble. If you do, what happens if you minimise to system tray from the file menu--still have problems, or is that reliably fine?

I added a new maintenance command to tag right-click, 'regenerate tag display'. This is a catch-all job to fix bad autocomplete counts and sibling/parent display. Previously, the way to fix this was to hit a 'regen the whole cache' job under the database menu, but on large clients this could take ages--we now have a way to debug and simply, fingers crossed, just fix a bad tag, all in, typically, a few seconds. If you have any jank siblings or 'the autocomplete said (23-28), but it gave me 8 files', try it out!

I fixed an issue with temp-file cleanup after importing read-only files. If you do a lot of unusual/misc hard drive imports, you might like to shut your client down, check your temp folder (hit _help->about_ to find it), and delete anything called 'hydrusXXXXXXXX'--it is all useless cruft after the client is shut down. It shouldn't come back!

The new 'eye' icon in the media viewer's top hover window now has the 'apply ICC Profile stuff' option. It updates the image live, as you click it! If you are interested in ICC Profiles--and perhaps comparing this in the duplicate filter--check it out. I also added a shortcut for it, to the 'media viewer' set.

The 'file log' has a new 'search for URLs' menu command, which lets you explore what has the selected URLs mapped. It is basically a copy of what I added to the media right-click 'urls' menu recently, and it'll help figure out weird URL collisions and mis-maps.

The Client API '/add_tags/add_tags' command has a couple of clever new parameters to govern how deleted records are navigated. If you are doing clever migrations or other big mappings operations with the API, check it out.

next week

I want to get some repository janitor workflow stuff done.
