I had a good week working on some quality of life and a tagging experiment.

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

my experiment

I've written a new tab, 'children', for the tag autocomplete dropdowns. It shows the tag children of anything in the list the autocomplete is managing. The idea here is you have 'evangelion' in your manage tags dialog but you have forgotten the names of the characters--there is now an easy-select list for you.

Since this is a first draft, it is workflow-ugly. It works well when there are only one or two parent tags in the list, but any more than that (or something with hundreds of children like pokemon or azur lane) and it becomes spam. Please have a play with it, especially if you are an advanced user, and let me know what you think. I think I'll filter and sort it according to the top n most-counted tags, and there's probably some simple selection-preservation stuff to add, to better let you run through its list quick-hitting enter over and over (atm it resets the selection position on every change).

other stuff

With the help of a user, I've written a simple twitter tweet downloader. This isn't a full search, just something that can download single tweets so you can drag-and-drop tweet URLs onto the client or paste them into an 'urls downloader'. It can handle video and multi-media posts, and it fetches quote-tweet contents too. I've learned there is a different, more advanced twitter downloader written by another user--if you use this, my new tweet downloader will not be added today, since you have that ability already. I'll see if I can add some of the other downloader's tech to the defaults in the near future.

The archive/delete and duplicate filters now yes/no confirm with you when you select to 'forget' your work.

All the builds should now be compatible with very new (>=0.38.x) versions of mpv/libmpv. If you run from source, you might like to rebuild your venv this week.

I continued to deconstruct the local booru (an old way of sharing files from the client) this week. It now no longer starts its server. If you used this, please note that this Client API project replaces it very well: https://github.com/floogulinc/hyshare

next week

I am pretty exhausted, I'm sorry to say, so I'll keep it simple and just do some more quality of life and little bug fixing work.
