I had a bit of a mixed week, but I got a couple of neat things done.

highlights

I fixed a stupid mistake in last week's 'move left/right after page close' thing, which was doing it even if the page being closed was not the current focus! Also fixed is the share->export menu not showing if you only right-clicked one file.

The tags->migrate tags dialog can now filter parent and sibling tags based on tag count. You can say 'only include pairs where the A/B actually exists on service x', where for siblings that B is the ideal tag at the end of the chain. I hope this makes it easier to filter giant multi-hundred-thousand pools of pairs, like from the PTR, down to only what matters for your 'my tags' etc..

The Client API has a new simple permissions mode for access keys, a convenience state just called 'permits everything', which does exactly what you think and is intended to be an easy catch-all for people who just want to turn on future-proofed access for an app they trust. On update, any access key that looks like it was told to permit everything in the old system will be updated to this mode (you will get a popup saying this happened, too). If you do need finer control, you can still tweak individual Client API permissions under services->review services.

Relatedly, the Client API gets a new permission this week, 'see local files', and commands to fetch local file and thumbnail paths. If you want to access files directly on the local machine for metadata analysis or whatever, this is what you want!

next week

I'm sorry to say I have been unproductive recently, so I'll keep it simple. I think I want to try some duplicate auto-resolution database stuff. I still need to think about a couple things, so I'll play around a bit and see what makes the most sense. Fingers crossed, I'll have the skeleton of the maintenance daemon sketched out.
