I had a good week clearing simple jobs. There's nothing too clever, just a bunch of little fixes and improvements all over.

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

highlights

All the tooltips in the program now wrap into a neater multi-line block. No more super long single-line tooltips!

The 'open' submenu when you right-click on the thumbnails or the media viewer has been cleaned up and plugged fully into the shortcuts system. It now looks and works exactly the same in either the thumbnail or media viewer view, and 'open file in web browser', 'open files in a new duplicates filter page', are added to the 'media' shortcut set. What was previously four 'show similar files: 0 (exact)' shortcut commands is now merged (and will be automatically updated in v570) into a single 'show similar files' command that lets you set any distance.

I fixed a stupid thing in manage tag siblings/parents that was too-frequently making it so when you spammed a bunch of pairs at it in one go, it wasn't allowing deletes (it was activating the 'only add' functionality). Should be fixed now, and it'll ask to petition pairs amidst adding others, but let me know if this changes your regular workflow annoyingly. These dialogs are way overdue for a complete overhaul.

I fixed some more URL encoding issues with some help from users. If you have a clever downloader that broke in the past couple of versions, sorry! Try it again, and let me know how it goes.

next week

More of this. I'll clean up the 'share' submenu like I just did the 'open' one, too.

Last week's test 'future build' seems to have gone well, no significant issues reported, so I will integrate that into the main build. Windows and Linux users who use the extract builds will have special 'clean install' instructions for v571, but I'll explain it all super easy when we get there.
