hydrus is written in python and uses the stock re library which doesn't support a few things, including \K, that some other regex engines do. For a overview of python regex see here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html

hydrus_dev it might worth looking at the pypi regex library that aims to replace re it supports some nice features like \K and capturing groups in lookaheads/lookbehinds which would be nice if you ever add support for capturing groups in resulting tags.

I'd provide you with a working regex, but i'm not very good at crafting them :/.

Closest option to this is file->options->media->Zoom smaller media to fit media canvas. Other than that not that I know of.

>>2235

This boils down to hydrus's inbox concept, essentially the inbox is a sort of staging area for files. It's used for files that have just been imported and have no tags, that way you can sort what you have and have not tagged. The little mail icon is just to indicate whether a file is in the inbox or not. A file being archived meaning it's NOT in the inbox.

This is not the only way to use this flag, but I believe it's the intended use.

Hopefully this helps a little bit.

Drag and drop the image thumbnail in hydrus onto a file select in your browser (or anywhere actually).

You're also able to export images from hydrus through the share option in the context menu.

>>2234

As >>2237 says, the fit/don't fit checkbox is the only zoom option right now, but I would like to add per-mime zoom settings, and more options (so you can say things like 'fit a png unless its fit size is less than 110%, in which case just show it as 100%').

>>2237

That regex library looks good, thank you. I would like to overhaul the path tagging dialog, not only to add groups and other advanced regex stuff but also adding better gui or maybe even a wizard to make it easier for people unfamiliar with regexes to use it. A big limitation though is fitting those advanced controls into an already cluttered dialog. I may just have to have multiple pages.

When I focus on that, I will probably update the regex library as well.

>>2238

That regex site is great, and your example is as well. I will add it into the program and the help.

>>2258

When you import files, make sure the 'delete files after successful import' checkbox on the first import path selection dialog is set how you want. If you would like to keep your original files as well, that is a completely fine way of running the program.

Otherwise, as >>2260 says, you can just drag and drop thumbnails out of the program to do a quick export. This works very well for upload boxes like here on 8chan. Due to technical limitations, they retain their ugly hash filenames. If you would like to export en-masse to the filesystem with nicer filenames (e.g. 'creator - title.jpg') you can do that through the more complicated file export dialog. Let me know if either do not work for you!

>>2280

Not really. You could try giving all your files a local 'nsfw'-like tag and then including '-nsfw' in your searches, but that's a bit awkward and prone to mistakes. For now, if you want to divide your files into multiple file domains, then I recommend you run multiple clients, one for each purpose. I may extend the client to support multiple 'local files' services in the future, but I am still thinking about the best way to do it.

>>2282

Most of the time, you probably want to stay synced with a tag archive. Most use md5 as their file hash, while hydrus uses sha256, so only mappings for local files (where both sha256 and md5 is known) can be cross-referenced and imported to the db. A few tag archives use sha256, so all data is imported in one go, but this is rare.

Either way, staying synced to a tag archive only adds very small lag, usually a handful of milliseconds per file import, so you don't have to worry about performance loss.

I usually leave my main IRL client on my laptop open all the time with about eight tabs for different ongoing purposes. I have it set to run maintenance jobs on idle, so it generally stays synced to the PTR all the time. It stays open through computer sleep/hibernation without problems.

I also have a file-empty admin client that I use to process PTR petitions, that I only have open for a few minutes a day, just to get that job done. I have that set to sync on shutdown, which usually takes ten or fifteen minutes.

Both scenarios work ok for me, but it took some tweaking on file->options->maintenance and processing to get what I wanted.

>>2283

Here is probably best for now, but perhaps there could be a more permanent place. I assume you have read my rough schema at:

http://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/tagging_schema.html

In general, I am easy-going about this stuff. If you start tagging files with good and appropriate 'medium:' namespaces, I figure other people will start using them as well. If your tags are less helpful, they might be revoked or altered with siblings. Remember that most files in hydrus have metadata that allows for 'system:mime is video' and 'system:duration>0'-type searches, so adding things like 'animation' may not be as important as you expect.

Anyway, I don't have a specific place to discuss this, but feel free to create a wiki.

>>2288

That seems exceptionally slow, especially from an SSD. Having it on your system drive's disk might slow it slightly, but I would expect that to be slight and occasional.

I have written a general help page on this (although a lot won't apply to you, because most slowdown is usually due to fragged HDDs) here:

http://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/reducing_lag.html

At the bottom of that page are instructions on how to produce a profile. If you like, please generate one or more profiles of your slow file results loading (and anything else that might be slow) and send me what you get.

Also, some general questions:

Are you synced with my public tag repository?

How large is your install_dir/db/client.db file?

What OS and CPU do you have?

If you are running windows, and you open task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Escape), what sort of idle CPU and HDD usage is your computer using?

If you create a search that always produces the same small set of files, and you press F5 to refresh it, does it load faster on the second or third try?

>>2290

I think you should stay synced, because most of the regular boorus are md5 tag archives, so you likely won't have imported all the info.

Since you have mentioned this, I will make a job to include a little check when you sync with an archive that will tell you if the hash type makes an ongoing sync redundant, to clear up future confusion about this.

>>2296

As I say at >>2306 , I may have fixed this problem for tomorrow's release. Please let me know if you still have lag after you update.

How exactly do I instantly synchronize tag databases, apart from closing hydrus (which will interrupt the synchro after 30 minutes)?

>>2320

Thanks!

Is there a way to delete tags that aren't in use by any image, or was that one of the "coming soon" features? I recently fixed a spelling error for a character name in all my files, but I'm worried I'll mess up again since the misspelling still comes up in the tag suggestions.
