I had a good week working on a variety of small jobs.

highlights

While working with a user, I discovered I had recently messed up the initialisation of the image caches, causing them to use default values and be too small for many power users. This is fixed, so I hope you will get some smoother media viewing, especially when it comes to very large images.

I tidied up some weird file service bugs and annoyances that came from the multiple local file services transition. Fixed some weird 'delete from x' entries on the thumbnail menu, stopped spamming 'all my files' in places it wasn't helpful, figured out better service ordering, just some simple workflow stuff.

And I think I have fixed another PTR processing bug some users had. If you have had 'this update file was missing' errors that wouldn't fix themselves, please try again and let the automatic maintenance run one more time--it should repair your records this time.

And just a fun thing--Mr Bones now has more numbers, and more neatly laid out.

full list

- misc:
- fixed a stupid bug that meant the image caches were initialising with default values (as under _speed and memory_) until you opened and OKed the options dialog (or did some other options-refresh events). sorry for the trouble, please enjoy some smoother image browsing.
- mr bones now shows more numbers, and in a neater table. it should be clearer what the percentages are for now, too
- the _manage->regenerate_ thumbnail menu has additional quick maintenance commands for presence and integrity checks and regenerating data in the similar files system
- wrote a new 'special duplicate' button for the edit shortcut set dialog. the list on this dialog doesn't allow duplicates (which meant the old 'duplicate' button was doing nothing), so this duplicates the current actions with 'incremented' shortcut keys. 'a' becomes 'b', 'ctrl+5' becomes 'ctrl+6', and so on. it doesn't always work, but if you want to make ten shortcuts for setting rating 1-10, this should help
- fixed an issue where the thumbnail banner text and the media viewer background text was not changing size or font according to QSS stylesheet rules (issue #1173)
- SIGTERM should now cause a clean program exit (previously it killed the GUI App but left some daemon threads alive for thirty seconds or more). unlike SIGINT, it will not ask you if you are sure you want to exit or if you would like to do shutdown maintenance--it just closes the client promptly
- fixed a bug in last week's importer page status improvements--the hard drive import page wasn't showing all the updates it should have
- brushed up some backup help
- .
- file services:
- fixed a bug where advanced users could set 'all known files'/'all known tags' on a search dropdown. this search domain is not supported
- in the archive/delete filter, if the current location is 'all my files' and the files being deleted are only in one local file domain, the surplus 'all my files' will no longer appear at the top of the filter's commit dialog
- the file services in the thumbnail select/remove menu are now sorted in the same order as the file domain button in search dropdowns
- the thumbnail select/remove menus now exclude 'all my files' and 'all local files' if those choices are redundant (e.g. if you only have files in 'my files', 'all my files' will be hidden)
- fixed some incorrect 'delete from x' actions appearing in thumbnail right-click menus
