HOTFIX

This reverts the OpenCV update in the v525 I just put out--it caused a dll conflict and needs more testing and prep before I can roll it out to everyone.

library updates

  • after successful testing amongst source users, I am finally updating the official builds and the respective requirements.txts for Qt, from 6.3.1 to 6.4.1 (with 'test' now 6.5.0), opencv-python-headless from 4.5.3.56 to 4.5.5.64 (with a new 'test' of 4.7.0.72), and in the Windows build, the mpv dll from 2022-05-01 to 2023-02-12 (API 2.0 to 2.1). if you use my normal builds, you don't have to do anything special in the update, and with luck you'll get slightly faster images, video, and UI, and with fewer bugs. if you run from source, you might want to re-run your setup_venv script--it'll update you automatically--and if you are a modern Windows source user and haven't yet, grab the new dll here and rename it to mpv-2.dll https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/mpv-dev-x86_64-20230212-git-a40958c.7z . there is a chance that some older OSes will not be able to boot this new build, but I think these people were already migrated to being source users when Win 7-level was no longer supported. in any case, let me know how you get on, and if you are on an older OS, be prepared to rollback if this version doesn't boot
  • setup_venv.bat (Windows source) now adds PyWin32, just like the builds (the new version of pympler, a memory management module, moans on boot if it doesn't have it)

timestamps

  • a couple places where fixed calendar time-deltas are converted to absolute datestrings now work better over longer times. going back (5 years, 3 months) should now work out the actual calendar dates (previously they used a rough total_num_seconds estimation) and go back to the same day of the destination month, also accounting for if that has fewer days than the starting month and handling leap years. it also handles >'12 months' better now
  • in system:time predicates that use since/before a delta, it now allows much larger values in the UI, like '72 months', and it won't merge those into the larger values in the label. so if you set a gap of 100 days, it'll say that, not 3 months 10 days or whatever
  • the main copy button on 'manage file times' is now a menu button letting you choose to copy all timestamps or just those for the file services. as a hacky experiment, you can also copy the file service timestamps plus one second (in case you want to try finick-ily going through a handful of files to force a certain import sort order)
  • the system predicate time parsing is now more flexible. for archived, modified, last viewed, and imported time, you can now generally say all variants in the form 'import' or 'imported' and 'time' or 'date' and 'time imported' or 'imported time'.
  • fixed an issue that meant editing existing delta 'system:archived time' predicates was launching the 'date' edit panel

misc

  • in the 'exif and other embedded metadata' review window, which is launched from a button on the the media viewer's top hover, jpegs now state their subsampling and whether they are progressive
  • every simple place where the client eats clipboard data and tries to import something now has a unified error-reporting process. before, it would make a popup with something like 'I could not understandwhat was in the clipboard!'. Now it makes a popup with info on what was pasted, what was expected, and actual exception info. Longer info is printed to the log
  • many places across the program say the specific exception type when they report errors now, not just the string summary
  • the sankaku downloader is updated with a new url class for their new md5 links. also, the file parser is updated to associate the old id URL, and the gallery parser is updated to skip the 'get sank pro' thumbnail links if you are not logged in. if you have sank subscriptions, they are going to go crazy this week due to the URL format changing--sorry, there's no nice way around it!--just ignore their popups about hitting file limits and wait them out. unfortunately, due to an unusual 404-based redirect, the id-based URLs will not work in hydrus any more
  • the 'API URL' system for url classes now supports File URLs--this may help you figure out some CDN redirects and similar. in a special rule for these File URLs, both URLs will be associated with the imported file (normally, Post API URLs are not saved as Known URLs). relatedly, I have renamed this system broadly to 'api/redirect url', since we use it for a bunch of non-API stuff now
  • fixed a problem where deleting one of the new inc/dec rating services was not clearing the actual number ratings for that service from the database, causing service-id error hell on loading files with those orphaned rating records. sorry for the trouble, this slipped through testing! any users who were affected by this will also be fixed (orphan records cleared out) on update (issue #1357)
  • the client cleans up the temporary paths used by file imports more carefully now: it tries more times to delete 'sticky' temp files; it tries to clear them again immediately on shutdown; and it stores them all in the hydrus temp subdirectory where they are less loose and will be captured by the final directory clear on shutdown (issue #1356)
