/hydrus/ - Hydrus Network

Although I can't use the filter it works good! I have some questions though:

- Will I have to do the preparation phase every time I want to search for duplicates? My pc crashed once during the process, luckily it saved its progress but I'd rather that not happen again…

- I accidentally marked something as forget while trying out the filter and now the pair disappeared, is there a way to get it back?

- Can I mark pictures as alternate versions (without using launch the filter button)? Like pics related? I want them to show up as pairs but not as potential pairs?

- Unrelated but what does the remove button when you right click do?

>I apologise for this, thank you for the feedback. There was another fix needed, and clients with large numbers like yours were still heavily broken. The v254 I put out should launch nice and quickly.

Can confirm this fixed it (at least for me). Thanks! It now consistently takes ~11 seconds, now if repeatedly opened. Bit longer the first time, but that's understandable.

This is quite a bit faster than the manual flipping around within a displayed group that I'd been doing, though it has made me notice one aspect the full group display was better at: When a displayed pair is sufficiently different, but not an alternate, so much as someone messing with the brightness/contrast, it's not always clear which one is the anomaly. Would be nice if we could get a glimpse of the full group somehow, even if that means a hotkey to load them.

Sidenote of a bug that I'm not seeing mentioned at cursory glance, so may just by my setup somehow. The filter is opening a borderless window the SIZE of my desktop, but not actually aligning it with the screen.

On further examination, I've found it will align with the monitor properly iff the viewer window has received no events by the time it's finished loading. Even moving the mouse across the client area is sufficient to break it. Hope that helps.

I've got an example of dupes that don't show up in the program, even at hamming distance of 8, but are picked up by other programs.

So here's something that bothers me about Hydrus right now.

When files are imported from an import folder, all of these "(will display as)" tags are left as they are rather than fully replaced by their preferred siblings. This probably isn't a problem for most but it triggers my obsessive compulsion and I'd just rather have them all replaced so everything looks neat and tidy. Is there a way to bypass these deferred tags? The best I have is to copy tags; paste tags; and manually delete the problem tags for each image I see.

It would be cool if I could make my local tag libraries just always replace tags with their siblings. This might be unreasonable though.

>>5622

also what is this error? all I did was download the zip and overwrite my original hydrus.

I'm sorry to hear about the hover window blinking. Which OS are you on? Do the tag (left) and inbox/rating (top-right) hover windows show correctly for you, or do they blink as well?

It is through the top hover window that you can change the tag merge and shortcut options, but if you can't access it well, then that's no good.

>>5601

There isn't, but I think this is a good idea. I'll see about adding a 'pin' option to the cog icon.

I'll also be adding some kind of display to explicitly say 'this file has higher res' and several other 'this is prob better' statements, but they will probably be on the top hover window as well.

Maybe I should also add an option to (temporarily, if you want) embed the top hover window in the actual underlying canvas frame, like a fat toolbar. It might help for this sort of job, but it might be a headache to do.

>>5604

It saves its progress. You only have to do it once–I assume you are having to regenerate some data for some missing files, right?

There isn't a good way to search by relationship yet, but I will be adding one as a system predicate (something like system:number of alternates=1) . If you can remember another way to narrow down the search space, I think you will be able to find that pair again no problem. Please let me know how it works as I roll it out!

In the same way, I will be adding a way to manually edit dupe relationships from the thumbnail menu. Everything you can do in the dupe filter will be possible through it.

'remove' just removes the thumbnail from the current view. It doesn't delete the file, it just discards it from the page. If you want to narrow down the results you are looking at to just a handful of files, then select everything else and hit remove.

>>5605

Yeah, I will be improving the workflow here to reduce the number of decisions you need to make. These relationships are a cmplicated web, though, so there will have to be some of this 'repeated' pairs processing, but I do think we can reduce it.

A isn't always 'better', but I want to add some 'guesswork' to make it be that more often than not.

>>5606

For now, if you have the monitor space, I think you can have the manage tags dialog open on the duplicate filter, and it'll follow between A and B just like on the regular media viewer. You should be able to copy/paste the tags across before you make the decision, even if you can't afterwards.

I'd also like to add some zoom/scroll sync as well.

>>5610

>>5616

Thanks for this. I'll look into making it boot more intelligently.

>>5617

Thank you. One of those is a slight crop of the other. My system is usually ok about small crops, but I will see if there are any other problems as well. I'm sure I can improve my system to deal with crops better anyway.

>>5622

I am not sure if I am remembering your exact problem correctly, but if this is the blue-screen issue, that was fixed a bit later on Nvidia's end. It was just a problem with that driver–I think it was causing blue-screens on some Adobe products as well. There hasn't been a problem like that since, so please do update your drivers.

>>5623

Are these tags coming in through a neighbouring .txt file? I didn't realise they weren't being sibling-collapsed automatically–I will check and fix that for next week.

I would like to add a button somewhere that just says 'hard-replace all siblings now', which I think is what you are looking for. It might also be appropriate, as you say, to always have that mode on for local tags.

>>5658

the image controls/popups are very slow and kinda just hang there, but i guess that's only for larger images. i don't think i had this problem before

>>5653

Sure, I'll add it to the list!

>>5658

>>5659

I'm not sure what could be doing it. There have been a lot of changes over the past year+, including a significant rewrite of the pipeline that renders and delivers images. In the old system, different zooms of files would be expensively cached in memory, but now only the original is cached and zooms are generated on the fly. If you have an older GPU/CPU, then this tradeoff might not be working great for you, despite all the saved memory.

If the solution isn't something in your graphics card settings, like >>5668 suggests (could be integrated graphics is taking over, or perhaps Nvidia OpenCL/CUDA is disabled for client.exe), you could look at the possibly new options->media page, which lets you choose different zoom quality algorithms. Images are more beautiful than they were, so maybe switch your jpgs down from 'pixel area resampling' to 'bilinear interpolation' and see if that speeds things up significantly.

>>5703

I absolutely agree. Siblings are currently the most difficult thing to agree on. I'd like a future system to be more like:

'these 17 tags all mean the same thing. I think this is the best of them, so I'll collapse to that, but if you would rather a different one, you can set that no prob'.

This will separate the contentious part of siblings (which is best) from the more agreeable part (what are synonyms).

>>5708

Thanks, I'll check that out if I run into trouble with the downloader engine rewrite.
