I had a good, creative week. Almost everything in the changelog is gui related.
drag and drop export
You can now drag and drop any local thumbnails out of the client window, and they'll export! This also works with the 8chan uploading box.
This has been a long time coming, but I got there eventually. It works really well for me, but let me know if you have any problems with it.
new control to review file import status
When you perform a hard drive import, there is now a new button next to the pause button. It launches a window with a big listcontrol showing information on every import item and its current status. It will update as the import proceeds. You can right-click for a menu that'll let you retry all the selected entries.
I will add this new control to the other download pages and the subscription system as I move them to the new downloader engine. It is also easily expandable–I'll probably add a menu entry to copy error information to clipboard and so on.
full list
- created gui control to show file import status
- added a button to launch this control, wrapped in its own frame, to the hdd import page
- you can now drag and drop thumbnails out of the client for quick export!
- the client will catch internal drag and drops, and won't interpret that as an import request
- dragging files onto the client will now always show the 'copy' mouse icon
- some thumbnail generation code is a bit quicker–resized thumbs are now always generated on their first viewing
- if you use 200x200 thumbnails, the client won't bother to generate resized thumbs, saving space and time
- the text entry dialog will now check its button status on a non-keyboard related text-change (e.g. selecting paste from the right-click menu)
- the popup created by downloading a raw url or a youtube video will finish itself properly when the import attempt is completed, removing the pause and cancel buttons and making the popup dismissable
- the splash screen will now stay on top
- the password entry dialog will also stay on top
- you can now copy the md5, sha1, or sha512 hashes of local files from the normal share->copy->hash menu
- fixed an overly broad deleted/redundant test on md5/url pre-import status checks
- options to remember size of manage tags and position of both manage tags and ratings dialogs added to file->options->gui
- updated some of the help
next week
I want to start work on an important rewrite of way the server runs itself, removing all its gui components so it can run better from command line. This will be a big job, so I'll try to do a little bit every week.
I would also like to continue moving download stuff to the new system. I am not sure what'll be best to do next–maybe subscriptions.
