Version 540

misc

• the system predicate parser can now handle 'system:filetype is xxx' for more of the general human-friendly filetype strings like 'video' and 'mkv'. it can also handle 'static gif' and any other types with spaces but now enforces commas between each filetype. I think all system:filetype predicate strings the client produces now parse correctly if you paste them back
• fixed many bitmap imports, most typically in the 'system:similar files' system, which was not generating pixel hashes correctly. most/all bitmaps coming in with alpha channels, or, I also believe, with a null channel (RGB32), were being handled wrong and coming out BGR. perceptual hashes are greyscale and were not affected, but pixel hashes were wrong. this was a real pain to figure out, and it may be that it is still broken for users on big-endian systems or something, so let me know how you get on
• added links to https://github.com/abtalerico/wd-hydrus-tagger (danbooru-trained model tagging) and https://github.com/Garbevoir/wd-e621-hydrus-tagger (which adds more models) to the client api help. reports are that they work well, even on 'normal' pictures
• the bad darkmode tooltip text colour in the new Qt 6.5.2 on Windows appears to be a bug, here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-116021 . there's not a great answer here, so let me know your thoughts. if you like, you can edit a custom stylesheet with a different QToolTip background-color, or I can spam some alternate fixed QSS files for everyone, or we can wait for a fix on Qt's end
• on update, all existing PSD and static gif files will be scheduled for pixel hash regen, perceptual hash regen, and entry into the similar files system (I forgot to do this last week)
• on update, all existing PNGs will be scheduled for pixel duplicate data regen. we have a legacy alpha channel issue here that has reared its head several times (searchting for 'must not be pixel dupes', but getting pixel dupes), so I am just going to bosh it on the head for everyone

file maintenance

• if a file has multiple jobs pending, the file maintenance manager now processes all those jobs at once, saving significant disk I/O. also, a couple things like the 'do all work' button's popup now shows the total number of jobs to do, rather than that of each job type in turn
• the 'manage scheduled jobs' file maintenance panel now shows the count for jobs that exist but are not yet due. previously, these were hidden, which was part of the mkv/webm duplicate difficulties last week.
• when the program needs to rename a file because it has a new mime, it now first tests if the file is still in use (normally this means some file parsing component like ffmpeg or opencv is still cleaning up OS file handles or whatever), and, if so, waits just a little bit before trying
• relatedly, the 'try and delete the rename-dupe again' job now tries again in one hour, rather than one week in the future, and if that after-one-hour job fails again (this would usually be because you were actually viewing the original file in the media viewer at the time of its reparse), then that job will retry again in a week, and the week after if that fails, and again after that, etc... for about a year
• fixed an issue with the thumbnail resizing maintenance job on PSD files and probably some other weird types too
• fixed some scheduling issues in how the mainloop of the file maintenance system tests its current rate of work and when it should cancel a current batch of work

boring stuff

• simplified and cleaned up some of the duplicate system king-fetching code. I may have also fixed one instance of pair representatives being fetched wrong for the filter when 'at least one file has to match the one search'
• when editing the duplicate action merge options, a new label at the top says which dupe action you are editing for, and if it isn't "this is better", it notes that the available merge actions are limited
• improved four things with the recovery code that handles missing master hash definitions--first, the substitute hashes are now the correct length; second, they are now saved back to the database, which should stop issues like the "trying to delete a thing that doesn't exist and has an ever-changing name in a loop forever" bug; third, the popup tells the user what to do next, and more information is written to the log; and fourth, the client checks the local hash cache so see if it can automatically recover the missing data

client api

• the file_metadata call now has two new fields, filetype_human, which looks like 'jpeg' or 'webm', and filetype_enum, which uses internal hydrus filetype numbers
• the help and unit tests are updated for this
• client api version is now 50
