Bookmark folders and library folders used to share identity through
_db.get_folders() — the same string was both a row in favorite_folders
and a directory under saved_dir. They look like one concept but they're
two stores, and the cross-bleed produced a duplicate-on-move bug and
made "Save to Library" silently re-file the bookmark too.
Now they're independent name spaces:
- library_folders() in core.config reads filesystem subdirs of
saved_dir; the source of truth for every Save-to-Library menu
- find_library_files(post_id) walks the library shallowly and is the
new "is this saved?" / delete primitive
- bookmark folders stay DB-backed and are only used for bookmark
organization (filter combo, Move to Folder)
- delete_from_library no longer takes a folder hint — walks every
library folder by post id and deletes every match (also cleans up
duplicates left by the old save-to-folder copy bug)
- _save_to_library is move-aware: if the post is already in another
library folder, atomic Path.rename() into the destination instead
of re-copying from cache (the duplicate bug fix)
- bookmark "Move to Folder" no longer also calls _copy_to_library;
Save to Library no longer also calls move_bookmark_to_folder
- settings export/import unchanged; favorite_folders table preserved
so no migration
UI additions:
- Library tab right-click: Move to Folder submenu (single + multi),
uses Path.rename for atomic moves
- Bookmarks tab: − Folder button next to + Folder for deleting the
selected bookmark folder (DB-only, library filesystem untouched)
- Browse tab right-click: "Bookmark" replaced with "Bookmark as"
submenu when not yet bookmarked (Unfiled / folders / + New); flat
"Remove Bookmark" when already bookmarked
- Embedded preview Bookmark button: same submenu shape via new
bookmark_to_folder signal + set_bookmark_folders_callback
- Popout Bookmark button: same shape — works in both browse and
bookmarks tab modes
- Popout Save button: Save-to-Library submenu via new save_to_folder
+ unsave_requested signals (drops save_toggle_requested + the
_save_toggle_from_popout indirection)
- Popout in library mode: Save button stays visible as Unsave; the
rest of the toolbar (Bookmark / BL Tag / BL Post) is hidden
State plumbing:
- _update_fullscreen_state mirrors the embedded preview's
_is_bookmarked / _is_saved instead of re-querying DB+filesystem,
eliminating the popout state drift during async bookmark adds
- Library tab Save button reads "Unsave" the entire time; Save
button width bumped 60→75 so the label doesn't clip on tight themes
- Embedded preview tracks _is_bookmarked alongside _is_saved so the
new Bookmark-as submenu can flip to a flat unbookmark when active
Naming:
- "Unsorted" renamed to "Unfiled" everywhere user-facing — library
Unfiled and bookmarks Unfiled now share one label. Internal
comparison in library.py:_scan_files updated to match the combo.
Mixing `threading.Thread + asyncio.run` workers with the long-lived
asyncio loop in gui/app.py is a real loop-affinity bug: the first worker
thread to call `asyncio.run` constructs a throwaway loop, which the
shared httpx clients then attach to, and the next call from the
persistent loop fails with "Event loop is closed" / "attached to a
different loop". This commit eliminates the pattern across the GUI and
adds the locking + cleanup that should have been there from the start.
Persistent loop accessor (core/concurrency.py — new)
- set_app_loop / get_app_loop / run_on_app_loop. BooruApp registers the
one persistent loop at startup; everything that wants to schedule
async work calls run_on_app_loop instead of spawning a thread that
builds its own loop. Three functions, ~30 lines, single source of
truth for "the loop".
Lazy-init lock + cleanup on shared httpx clients (core/api/base.py,
core/api/e621.py, core/cache.py)
- Each shared singleton (BooruClient._shared_client, E621Client._e621_client,
cache._shared_client) now uses fast-path / locked-slow-path lazy init.
Concurrent first-callers from the same loop can no longer both build
a client and leak one (verified: 10 racing callers => 1 httpx instance).
- Each module exposes an aclose helper that BooruApp.closeEvent runs via
run_coroutine_threadsafe(...).result(timeout=5) BEFORE stopping the
loop. The connection pool, keepalive sockets, and TLS state finally
release cleanly instead of being abandoned at process exit.
- E621Client tracks UA-change leftovers in _e621_to_close so the old
client doesn't leak when api_user changes — drained in aclose_shared.
GUI workers routed through the persistent loop (gui/sites.py,
gui/bookmarks.py)
- SiteDialog._on_detect / _on_test: replaced
`threading.Thread(target=lambda: asyncio.run(...))` with
run_on_app_loop. Results marshaled back through Qt Signals connected
with QueuedConnection. Added _closed flag + _inflight futures list:
closeEvent cancels pending coroutines and shorts out the result emit
if the user closes the dialog mid-detect (no use-after-free on
destroyed QObject).
- BookmarksView._load_thumb_async: same swap. The existing thumb_ready
signal already used QueuedConnection so the marshaling side was
already correct.
DB write serialization (core/db.py)
- Database._write_lock = threading.RLock() — RLock not Lock so a
writing method can call another writing method on the same thread
without self-deadlocking.
- New _write() context manager composes the lock + sqlite3's connection
context manager (the latter handles BEGIN / COMMIT / ROLLBACK
atomically). Every write method converted: add_site, update_site,
delete_site, add_bookmark, add_bookmarks_batch, remove_bookmark,
update_bookmark_cache_path, add_folder, remove_folder, rename_folder,
move_bookmark_to_folder, add/remove_blacklisted_tag,
add/remove_blacklisted_post, save_library_meta, remove_library_meta,
set_setting, add_search_history, clear_search_history,
remove_search_history, add_saved_search, remove_saved_search.
- _migrate keeps using the lock + raw _conn context manager because
it runs from inside the conn property's lazy init (where _write()
would re-enter conn).
- Reads stay lock-free and rely on WAL for reader concurrency. Verified
under contention: 5 threads × 50 add_bookmark calls => 250 rows,
zero corruption, zero "database is locked" errors.
Smoke-tested with seven scenarios: get_app_loop raises before set,
run_on_app_loop round-trips, lazy init creates exactly one client,
10 concurrent first-callers => 1 httpx, aclose_shared cleans up,
RLock allows nested re-acquire, multi-threaded write contention.
Sweep of defensive hardening across the core layers plus a related popout
overlay regression that surfaced during verification.
Database integrity (core/db.py)
- Wrap delete_site, add_search_history, remove_folder, rename_folder,
and _migrate in `with self.conn:` so partial commits can't leave
orphan rows on a crash mid-method.
- add_bookmark re-SELECTs the existing id when INSERT OR IGNORE
collides on (site_id, post_id). Was returning Bookmark(id=0)
silently, which then no-op'd update_bookmark_cache_path the next
time the post was bookmarked.
- get_bookmarks LIKE clauses now ESCAPE '%', '_', '\\' so user search
literals stop acting as SQL wildcards (cat_ear no longer matches
catear).
Path traversal (core/db.py + core/config.py)
- Validate folder names at write time via _validate_folder_name —
rejects '..', os.sep, leading '.' / '~'. Permits Unicode/spaces/
parens so existing folders keep working.
- saved_folder_dir() resolves the candidate path and refuses anything
that doesn't relative_to the saved-images base. Defense in depth
against folder strings that bypass the write-time validator.
- gui/bookmarks.py and gui/app.py wrap add_folder calls in try/except
ValueError and surface a QMessageBox.warning instead of crashing.
Download safety (core/cache.py)
- New _do_download(): payloads >=50MB stream to a tempfile in the
destination dir and atomically os.replace into place; smaller
payloads keep the existing buffer-then-write fast path. Both
enforce a 500MB hard cap against the advertised Content-Length AND
the running total inside the chunk loop (servers can lie).
- Per-URL asyncio.Lock coalesces concurrent downloads of the same
URL so two callers don't race write_bytes on the same path.
- Image.MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS = 256M with DecompressionBombError handling
in both converters.
- _convert_ugoira_to_gif checks frame count + cumulative uncompressed
size against UGOIRA_MAX_FRAMES / UGOIRA_MAX_UNCOMPRESSED_BYTES from
ZipInfo headers BEFORE decompressing — defends against zip bombs.
- _convert_animated_to_gif writes a .convfailed sentinel sibling on
failure to break the re-decode-on-every-paint loop for malformed
animated PNGs/WebPs.
- _is_valid_media returns True (don't delete) on OSError so a
transient EBUSY/permissions hiccup no longer triggers a delete +
re-download loop on every access.
- _referer_for() uses proper hostname suffix matching, not substring
`in` (imgblahgelbooru.attacker.com no longer maps to gelbooru.com).
- PIL handles wrapped in `with` blocks for deterministic cleanup.
API client retry + visibility (core/api/*)
- base.py: _request retries on httpx.NetworkError + ConnectError in
addition to TimeoutException. test_connection no longer echoes the
HTTP response body in the error string (it was an SSRF body-leak
gadget when used via detect_site_type's redirect-following client).
- detect.py + danbooru.py + e621.py + gelbooru.py + moebooru.py:
every previously-swallowed exception in search/autocomplete/probe
paths now logs at WARNING with type, message, and (where relevant)
the response body prefix. Debugging "the site isn't working" used
to be a total blackout.
main_gui.py
- file_dialog_platform DB probe failure prints to stderr instead of
vanishing.
Popout overlay (gui/preview.py + gui/app.py)
- preview.py:79,141 — setAttribute(WA_StyledBackground, True) on
_slideshow_toolbar and _slideshow_controls. Plain QWidget parents
silently ignore QSS `background:` declarations without this
attribute, which is why the popout overlay strip was rendering
fully transparent (buttons styled, bar behind them showing the
letterbox color).
- app.py: bake _BASE_POPOUT_OVERLAY_QSS as a fallback prepended
before the user's custom.qss in the loader. Custom themes that
don't define overlay rules now still get a translucent black
bar with white text + hairline borders. Bundled themes win on
tie because their identical-specificity rules come last in the
prepended string.
PIL extracts frames with durations, saves as animated GIF.
Non-animated PNG/WebP kept as-is. Converted on download and
on cache access (for already-cached files). Same pattern as
ugoira zip conversion.
Some boorus return empty/HTML responses for tag-limited queries.
All API clients now catch JSON parse errors and return empty
results instead of crashing.
Shared client doesn't set Referer globally since it varies per
domain. Now passed as per-request header so Gelbooru CDN doesn't
return HTML captcha pages.
Single shared httpx.AsyncClient for all BooruClient instances
(Danbooru, Gelbooru, Moebooru) with connection pooling.
E621 gets its own shared client (custom User-Agent required).
Site detection also reuses the shared client.
Eliminates per-request TLS handshakes on Windows.
- Bookmarks DB now stores tag_categories as JSON
- Migration adds column to existing favorites table
- Bookmark info panel uses stored categories directly
- Falls back to library_meta if bookmark has no categories
- Tag click in info panel: clears preview, switches to Browse, searches
- Migrate library_meta to add tag_categories column
- Info panel always updates (not gated on isVisible)
- Library info shows status bar with score/rating
- Save indicator: changed elif to if so Saved always triggers
- Bookmark info panel always populated
- tag_categories stored as JSON in library_meta table
- Library and Bookmarks info panels show categorized tags
- Bookmarks falls back to library_meta for categories
- Added Unsave from Library to bookmarks right-click menu
- library_meta table stores tags, score, rating, source per post
- Metadata saved automatically when saving from Browse
- Search box in Library tab filters by tags via DB lookup
- Works with all file types
Shared httpx.AsyncClient reuses TLS connections across thumbnail
downloads — avoids 40 separate TLS handshakes per page on Windows.
Score spinbox widened to 90px with explicit arrow buttons.
When enabled, hides prev/next buttons and loads more posts
automatically when scrolling to the bottom. Posts appended
to the grid, deduped against already-shown posts. Restart
required to toggle.
- Add prefetch_adjacent, clear_cache_on_exit, slideshow_monitor,
library_dir to _DEFAULTS for fresh installs
- Replace all silent except-pass with logged warnings
Major restructure of the favorites/library system:
- Rename "Favorites" to "Bookmarks" throughout (DB API, GUI, signals)
- Add Library tab for browsing saved files on disk with sorting
- Decouple bookmark from save — independent operations now
- Two indicators on thumbnails: star (bookmarked), green dot (saved)
- Both indicators QSS-controllable (qproperty-bookmarkedColor/savedColor)
- Unbookmarking no longer deletes saved files
- Saving no longer auto-bookmarks
- Library tab: folder sidebar, sort by date/name/size, async thumbnails
- DB table kept as "favorites" internally for migration safety
- Prefetch adjacent posts is now a toggle in Settings > General (off by default)
- Prefetch progress bar on thumbnails shows download state
- Blacklist Post: right-click to hide a specific post by URL
- "Create from Template" opens themes reference on git.pax.moe
and spawns the default text editor with custom.qss
- Artist (gold), Character (green), Copyright (purple), Species
(red), General, Meta/Lore (gray)
- Danbooru and e621 provide categories from API
- Gelbooru/Moebooru fall back to flat tag list
Logs every outgoing connection (API requests and image downloads)
with timestamps. Network tab in Settings shows all hosts contacted
this session with request counts. No telemetry, just transparency.
- Replace per-operation thread spawning with a single persistent
asyncio event loop (saves ~10-50ms per async operation)
- Pre-scan saved directories into sets instead of per-post
exists() calls (~80+ syscalls reduced to a few iterdir())
- Add add_favorites_batch() for single-transaction bulk inserts
- Add missing indexes on favorites.folder and favorites.favorited_at
- Add "Clear cache on exit" checkbox in Settings > Cache
- Fix ugoira zip conversion: don't crash if frames fail, verify gif
exists before deleting zip
- Arrow key past last/first post loads next/prev page
Previously cached .zip files passed the valid media check and were
returned without conversion. Now zips are detected and converted
to GIF before the general cache check.
- Detect .zip files (Pixiv ugoira) and convert frames to animated GIF
- Cache the converted GIF so subsequent loads are instant
- Add filetype field to the info panel
- Add ZIP to valid media magic bytes
Supports Danbooru, Gelbooru, Moebooru, and e621. Features include tag search
with autocomplete, favorites with folders, save-to-library, video playback,
drag-and-drop, multi-select, custom CSS theming, and cross-platform support.
