I had a good week mostly cleaning things and fixing some unusual issues.

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

highlights

Building on last week's custom 'sibling' connection, options->tag presentation now lets you edit the 'OR' connector too, and you can now set a specific colour for them both using the existing namespace colours.

If you don't like file viewing statistics tracking your viewing in the archive/delete filter, you can now turn it off. Also, when you are looking at media with duration, the 'max' time it can record for that video or audio is now the larger of your 'max' setting and five times' that duration. So, if you are capped to ten minutes max normally, but you loop or skip around on a twenty minute vid for thirty mins, it'll save the full thirty mins. I'd like to add some pause tech in future too, to account for minimising and pausing media with duration. Thanks to the user who provided feedback on this stuff.

The file delete dialog should be better, in simple and advanced mode, at not overwriting existing delete reasons, which happens most when you manually delete from the trash. If you use this stuff a lot, let me know how it goes.

The rest is a bit advanced and niche. Hydrus parsers can now support unnamespaced tags with colons in, essentially an extension of the existing ':p' tags, and users can enter these tags too by starting a tag with a colon. If you make parsers, check out the changelog for how tag content parsers can now support 'any' vs 'unamespaced' namespace. I also fixed some weird file domain handling in importers.

next week

I really didn't have time for everything I wanted this week, so I'd like to figure out custom/remembered 'reasons' for the petition workflows, more file viewing stuff, http header editing in the API, and maybe notes support in the sidecar system.
