I had an ok week working on some small jobs and new Client API commands.

highlights

I fixed a bug that was allowing wasteful file re-downloads from Pixiv and Twitter. I accidentally left a hole in the recent changes to the URL 'neighbour-testing' logic, where it tries to determine if a 'already in db/previously deleted' URL determination is trustworthy, and sites where posts can have multiple files were not able to return 'already in db' or 'previously deleted' until the file itself was redownloaded. I have filled the hole in--thank you for the reports, sorry for the trouble, and let me know if you notice anything else weird going on.

This is a weird thing, but in the same way that if you double-click a tag in the normal search page, it adds that tag to the search, if you ctrl+double-click a tag, you enter '-tag'. It was difficult to pull this off due to ctrl+single-click doing a deselect (usually it was best done with ctrl+enter on keyboard), but I've smoothed out the click selection logic and it does, a bit more, what you think it should. Give it a go!

If you ever use 'regex' 'system:url' predicates, they may run significantly faster this week if you mix them with other search predicates. regex URL preds now run absolutely last in the master file search, so they benefit if tags or other system predicates have already reduced the search space. Regex URL search is pretty much the worst-performing part of all hydrus file search, and there isn't much I can do about it, but I did a little research this week and I have a couple of ideas for the future--it might even allow for sometimes-fast regex tag search, but we'll see.

client api

Everything in the hydrus 'pending' menu (e.g. for sending mappings to the PTR) is now available on the Client API, with a new 'Commit Pending' permission needed to do it.

A new command in the file relationships set also lets you remove all the potential pairs for files.

next week

I will make the tag siblings/parents dialogs load instantly. This job keeps on getting put off, but I am determined to finally clear it, even if it takes a couple weeks.
