I had an ok week. There's a mix of different work and a fix to the recent macOS crashing.

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

all misc this week

Subscription popup windows should update far more smoothly and frequently this week. Some of the 'should I check for new text?' logic was broken when I embedded the popup toaster into the main UI a few months ago--it is fixed.

If you right-click an image that is larger than 1,024 pixels on a side, the share->copy menu now has a second 'copy bitmap' that crops the image down for easier and faster pasting in lookup services like SauceNAO.

I added some info about the not-well-documented tag/predicate mouse shortcuts (e.g. shift+double-click to edit system predicates) to the help here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/getting_started_searching.html#editing_predicates

I added a link to the Client API help for a neat new tool that finds video duplicates and queues them up in the duplicate filter. Here: https://github.com/appleappleapplenanner/hydrus-video-deduplicator

Since v529, at least some users of the macOS app have had terrible crashing. Last week's attempt didn't do it, but I think we've fixed it now! It was something I never even knew about updating in the background to an incompatible version. Thank you for your patience and help testing, and let me know if you still have any trouble!

If you are an advanced downloader maker, check out the changelog regarding sub-gallery urls. Nothing huge has changed, but they'll inherit and parse tags and some other stuff from their parent parsing step now.

The experimental QtMediaPlayer now initialises with and updates according to the volume and mute settings. Previously it was stuck on 100% always. The volume bar is still hidden on the actual player, but we are moving forward.

next week

I failed to do as I planned this week. I'd hoped to set aside a good whack of time to figure out a PTR tag filtering system, but it didn't happen. I'll see if I can get the time and energy together again this week, and if not, I'll try and kick out some ratings in the Client API instead.
