Minor errors on Linux mint - All the shadowing around buttons have become indistingushable from the background, making it really hard to tell what's a clickable button and what's just text.

I keep running into an issue with drag and dropping thread watchers, They end up crashing somewhat often even when it's one at a time, but now I have an new problem with them, I had a few added in that were doing initial thread checks, so once the program loaded, it would hit those thread watchers and crash. it seems that every time I open the program it gets a couple more images, I'm hoping that If I cycle it enough it will sort itself out, i'm losing hope of this one though

Now because there are a few theadwatchers that are stuck open and I can't exit them fast enough, and the program doesn't realize I exited them i'm in an error cycle

wxmsw30u_core_vc90_x64.dll

seems to be the issue.

so I am thinking of ways to fix it, or mitigate the error cycle…

Is there a way to add to the start up options a way to save the prior session? That way when sessions crash due to excessive tabs, or a shitty tab, it can be re opened with some effort.

Thank you for these details. I will try to rejigger the order of events of a session load to be a bit more polite. There's no resource reason why a heavy session load should cause a crash, but perhaps your Window Manager is getting caught up on some thread trying to update something before everything is fully loaded.

I am not sure about the 20-30 minute crash. I am planning on simplifying some behind the scenes update timers soon, which will reduce some overhead due to having many tabs open. This might fix your issue, or at least alleviate it.

Thank you, this was extremely helpful. It looks like some longer-term users still have an 'http' version of gelbooru in their booru settings, and this is being combined to build the faulty CDN link. I have an explicit fix for it for next week. I suspect that if you go into services->manage boorus and set your gelbooru entry to be https, your problem will be magically fixed. Otherwise, please let me know how v272 works for you.

>>6657

Thank you. I done fucked up my sync order-of-events as I was putting the release together. Is there an easy way to say 'this release should point at this commit' in the github app or site? Or is it simpler to just say 'get the master this week'?

>>6659

That is pretty odd! I haven't changed anything my end with buttons, afaik--could Mint have changed anything with its window manager? I think I just pull system colours for simple widget colours, and the buttons I don't set anything other than defaults for things like borders.

If you go help->about, does that have an ok/close button, and is it broken in the same way? I think that button is created completely automatically at the wx/system level, so that would help us figure out where the wrong colour/style is coming from.

I am sorry you are having this problem. I am not sure why it is occurring, nor why your thread watchers are crashing. Strangely enough, when I search for the "wxWindowNR" error, there aren't many results, but one is >>6275 from a couple of months ago. Was that you? It might be something like the drag-and-drop cannot complete due to some internal gui object count being exceeded by the subsequent 'detach page from here, insert it in here' operation. How many total tabs are we talking--20 or 100+? I understand older versions of Windows have smaller gui object limits, so you might be being nobbled at, say, ~80 pages.

I have a longer-term plan to reduce total gui object count for download pages and hence increase the max number open at any time.

Saving anything before a crash is tricky because I can't detect when one is about to occur, and after it happens, I can't do anything. You will still have the 'last session' session however, so I recommend you do something like:

boot the client, select 'just open a blank page' on the 'you crashed last time' dialog

go services->review bandwidth usage and set a restrictive rule for the 'global' context that is like '1 request per day' this will throttle the thread watchers while we try to save them

go pages->sessions->load->last session and cross your fingers

if it all loads ok and is stable, identify some thread watchers or other pages to kill, to reduce overall count.

shut the client down

try booting it again

try removing the bandwidth rule

You likely don't have time to do this, but you can go help->debug->save 'last session' session to manually save your 'last session' if you expect a crash but want to lock in your changes immediately. If I remember right, last session is otherwise normally updated every five minutes or so.

It is possible that the session load changes I made with >>6655 in mind will improve your situation as well. Please let me know how you get on here, and with v272, and if things are still a problem, I will see what more I can do.

I've also thought of possibly expanding the crash recovery dialog to be like firefox's, where it'll say 'which of these tabs from last session do you want to load'. This might help you eliminate bad thread watcher tabs, but I would ideally rather figure out the underlying problem of why they are crashing in the first place.

Great! I am trying to find time every week to copy that new listctrl class to all the other places the old listctrl is used in the program. I expect to make further improvements to the new class, including adding column selection for 'busy' instances like on the manage subscriptions dialog.

>>6669

yea that one was me, that one if i remember right was hitting a hard page limit in the program when that issue was happening.

windows 7 ultimate, and I have had 168 pages open open before the program started acting funny before.

as for having time, yea, I have enough time when this was happening to close out 4-6 tabs once everything was loaded in, the session with lots of crashing was saved as dfgh, however most of the threads in the thread watcher are either expiring or getting close to it so there is no real reason to try to recover it anymore as I loaded up a saved session from when I upgraded to the 271 client.

There are about 6 of those ranging from 'save the session' when I didn't remember what the number was, 'pre 271' when I did, and 'save the fucking session already' so if its not obvious, there was an issue where I could not see any of the sessions I was saving, not sure if its a bug or what was going on there. will keep in mind global settings on a blank page next time something like this happens, fingers crossed it doesn't.

as for loading specific tabs, honestly, that would be helpful, especially in an instance I just toss my hands up and say fuck it 'I did something stupid and just want shit to work' However a combination of being able to go through saved sessions tab by tab would probably be better.

If this is something you can do quickly and would be simple, go for it, if its something that would take real time, then fuck it. If I remember a while back you said/had an idea for thread watches being consolidated into one tab, I have to ask, was that page of pages or are these two separate things? because thread watchers being handled through one page on its own would easily handle most if not all issues I have currently and would likely be a better use of time.

I remember this, from what I remember e-hentai and exhentai is different front facing and will have different content. things the front facing e-hentai decided to expunge will typically still be on ex, now the thing I would use it for is this the first image is just a typical old gallery, the only way to get all the files is either pay the currency and download, or go file by file to download it.

on the file to file page I chose one where it was resized at the bottom there is a button for getting the unaltered image

Now this is a very small gallery so its not to much of an issue, however just as an example a large gallery there is no way to download it with points for most people, its 1600+ images and 4gb, which would be a nightmare to go through.

now, through a quick experiment I found out that 200kb is about 1 point I beleive, most of the older galleries or manga are under 200mb from my math each day would be able to regen 4320 points or 864mb. If the downloader was set up to only get 36mb an hour it would be able to keep up with regen

At the very least for me going though larger old books, or larger old galleries it would be a god send to have something that can automatically do this and set up a bandwidth limit for the domain, either being 700-800~mb daily or 36 hourly so I can easily grab some of the older galleries without an absolute hassle.

On that note of e-hentai and exhentai, is there a way to export files with original filenames? I can't think of a use for this outside of downloading an older manga and remaking the rar/zip of it

on mouse wheel, I have an idea, no idea if it would work.

With minimum vertical scroll would there be a way to have a user changeable number and the math is done behind the scene? like, the option says "Lines one unit scrolls [X] thumnails wised to move [X.X]"

This way the program knows how many units one tick will scroll and will convert it to how many thumbnails you want to move.

In all honesty, it doesn't need to be the scroll wheel, that's just the most convenient, a shortcut that would move the thumbnails up or down on its own would as helpful, because using arrows when I have it full screen, the arrow method will select images that only have 1/5 or 1/10th of their thumnail showing but not bring the row up, and loading previews for these can also cause the program to hang up a bit. if there is a way to/shortcut for just scrolling 1 or 2 rows at a time, that would likely replace the scroll wheel for me

I was having this same problem as well trying to download stuff from gelbooru (for the tag zounose). However, I was able to get it to work like so:

1. Change the gelbooru thing to use an https link instead of an http one.

2. Stopping the current download session and deleting all of the results it found.

3. Restarted Hydrus.

4. Opened a new gelbooru download session and re-entered the tag to download.

If a custom scroll amount is not doable, would smooth scroll be doable? that would help with how jarring 3/5the the page changing can be. Or a shortcut that will scroll down, the main reason I don't see the arrow keys as an option is they select images which can cause the program to hang, if there was a way to scroll down without selecting images, I could use that. Lets also say you don't need to make the shortcut convenient right away, I have an mmo mouse and a macro pad I can use.

now, just for some examples of what arrow scrolling is like, both down and up for me select images off screen, and in down you can see the program hang a bit, the moment the image loads i press down after the initial start and till the last one, if the program didn't hang, that would be a great method to use, the main reason I want the scroll wheel to work is scrolling with it doesn't cause the program to hang at all, and there is likely very little you can do to stop the hanging I am encountering till the program is further along if even then as its likely a hdd being slow issue more than a program is lagging one.

as for thread watchers… i'm honestly a bit torn on how I like them, don't get me wrong they are fucking great at what they do when they don't crash, but i'm thinking of ways to make them better, and I actually think the program is very close to having a method already inside it, going to test it with a thread on /b/ now.

Ok it works the way I thought it did.

page of images when I import a link it grabs all the images from it and goes to town, and when I repaste the link when some new images are posted, it only adds the new images, and one link to another board because that's what 4chan does with its ad area now. Now I only used this on 4chan, 8chan, and 4chan derivative sites, but I just checked with 7chan, it works there too.

Now, instead of the pages just going away after you paste them, if you added a recheck timer to it then you have just effectively expanded thread watcher to cover any site that download page of images works with.

Now in the interest of not haveing just a fuckhuge page of images, images seem to remember where they were acquired from, and where they were attempted to be reacquired from. so instead of having like in thread watcher where all the website info and stuff is on the left hand side, where images are could hold the website, how many images it has, and time to next check, when selected all the stuff of the normal thread watcher displays that links data, with an option to open the thread in a new tab, at which point it would call up all the images that url provided in a new tab. Now because its not a normal thread watcher and instead a page of downloaded images, a 404 may not be as noticeable or detectable, so a small bit of 'if most of the links are no longer there, something fucking happened' warning at which point it turns the link or whatever info you see for threads from black to red, either prompting you to look at it yourself or assume its done and review what it got or just close it.

from what I can tell, to turn page of images into a thread watcher that can handle more than 1 url everything is already there, not the above idea adter 'fuckhuge page of images' but for a basic thread watcher based on it, all that's missing is the automation aspect

this would have two benefits, 1 being all the thread watchers are in one place but also they would largely work one task at a time, instead of the current fuck if I know… 54 thread watchers I currently have going which will step on each others toes
