Both fetch_via_tag_api and _probe_batch_api built the same params
dict (with identical lstrip/startswith credential quirks) inline.
Pulled into _build_tag_api_params so future credential-format tweaks
have one site, not two.
Thumbnail file drag kicked off after only 10px of movement, which made
it too easy to start a drag when the user meant to rubber-band select
or just click-and-micro-wobble. Bumped to 30px so the gate matches the
rubber band's own threshold in `_maybe_start_rb`.
behavior change: tiny mouse movement on a thumbnail no longer starts a
file drag; you now need to drag ~30px before the OS drag kicks in.
Popout was always reopening as floating even when it had been tiled at
close. closeEvent already persisted geometry + fullscreen, but nothing
captured the Hyprland floating/tiled bit, so the windowrule's
`float = yes` rule always won on reopen.
Now closeEvent records `_saved_tiled` from hyprctl, popout_controller
persists it as `slideshow_tiled`, and FullscreenPreview's restore path
calls the new `hyprland.settiled` helper shortly after show() to push
the window back into the layout. Saved geometry is ignored for tiled
reopens since the tile extent is the layout's concern.
behavior change: popout reopens tiled if it was tiled at close.
Videos that open on a black frame (fade-in, title card, codec warmup)
produced black library thumbnails. mpv now starts at 10% with hr_seek
so the first decoded frame is past the opening. mpv clamps `start`
to valid range so very short clips still land on a real frame.
Qt Wayland buffer goes stale after compositor-driven resize events
(Hyprland tiled geometry change). FlowLayout reflowed thumbs but the
viewport skipped paint until a scroll or click invalidated it, leaving
the grid blank. ThumbnailGrid.resizeEvent now calls viewport().update()
after reflowing so the buffer stays in sync.
resize() and resize_and_move() gain an animate flag — when True, skip
the no_anim setprop so Hyprland's windowsIn/popin animation plays
through. Popout passes animate=_first_fit_pending so the first fit
after open animates; subsequent navigation fits still suppress anim
to avoid resize flicker.
behavior change: popout now animates in on open instead of snapping.
FullscreenPreview has no WA_DeleteOnClose and Qt's C++ dtor does
not reliably call Python-side destroy() overrides once
popout_controller drops its reference, so the popout's separate
mpv instance + NVDEC surface pool leaked until the next full
Python GC cycle. closeEvent now calls _gl_widget.cleanup()
explicitly after the state machine's CloseRequested dispatch.
behavior change from v0.2.6: popout open/close cycles no longer
stair-step VRAM upward; the popout's mpv is torn down immediately
on close instead of waiting on GC.
On NVIDIA the NVDEC surface pool is the bulk of mpv's idle VRAM
footprint, and keep_open=yes plus the live GL render context pin
it for the widget lifetime. stop() now sets hwdec='no' to release
the pool while idle; play_file() re-arms hwdec='auto' before the
next loadfile so GPU decode is restored on playback.
behavior change from v0.2.6: video VRAM now releases when switching
from a video post to an image post in the same preview pane, instead
of staying pinned for the widget lifetime.
Drivers that enforce per-context GPU resource ownership (Mesa, Intel)
leak textures and FBOs when mpv_render_context_free runs without the
owning GL context current. NVIDIA tolerates this but others do not.
resizeEvent, installEventFilter, and removeEventFilter all
dereference return values that can be None during init/shutdown,
causing AttributeError crashes on edge-case lifecycle timing.
behavior change: navigating to a different-aspect image/video while
tiled then un-tiling now resizes the floating window to the current
content's aspect and resets the image viewer zoom. Previously the
window restored to the old floating geometry with the wrong aspect
locked.
Stash content dims on the tiled early-return in _fit_to_content, then
detect the tiled-to-floating transition via a debounced resizeEvent
check that re-runs the fit.
User-configurable sites could send XXE or billion-laughs payloads
via tag category API responses. Reject any XML body containing
<!DOCTYPE or <!ENTITY before passing to ET.fromstring.
Systems without Trolltech.conf (bare Arch, fresh installs without a
DE) were landing on Qt's default light palette. Apply a neutral dark
Fusion palette when no system theme file exists and the palette is
still light. KDE/GNOME users keep their own palette untouched.
behavior change: video thumbnails in the Library tab are now generated
by a headless mpv instance (vo=null, pause=True, screenshot-to-file)
instead of shelling out to ffmpeg. Resized to LIBRARY_THUMB_SIZE with
PIL. Falls back to the same placeholder on failure. ffmpeg removed
from README install commands — no longer a dependency.
behavior change: clicking an uncached video now starts a full httpx
download in the background alongside mpv streaming. The cached file
is available for copy/paste as soon as the download completes, without
waiting for playback to finish. stream-record machinery removed from
video_player.py (~60 lines); on_image_done detects the streaming case
and updates path references without restarting playback.
Streaming videos skip on_image_done (the _load coroutine returns
early), so the thumbnail's _cached_path was never set. Drag-to-copy
failed until the user navigated away and back (which went through
the cached path and hit on_image_done).
Now on_video_stream sets _cached_path to the expected cache location
immediately. Once the stream-record promotes the .part file on EOF,
drag-to-copy works without needing to change posts first.
Neither loudnorm (EBU R128) nor dynaudnorm work well for this
use case — both are designed for continuous playback, not rapidly
switching between random short clips with wildly different levels.
unsave_from_preview only refreshed the library grid when on the
library tab. Now also refreshes the bookmarks grid when on the
bookmarks tab so the saved dot clears immediately.
Read the setting at startup and apply it to the embedded preview's
video player. On settings change, toggle af=loudnorm live on all
active mpv instances (embedded + popout).
Also adds _get_all_video_players() helper for iterating both.
Bookmark Post objects have no width/height (the DB doesn't store
them). When opening a bookmark in the popout, read the actual
dimensions from the cached file via QImageReader so the popout
can set keep_aspect_ratio correctly. Previously images from the
bookmarks tab always got 0x0, skipping the aspect lock.
The previous deleteLater on the QPropertyAnimation left a dangling
self._fade_anim reference to a dead C++ object. When the next
search called FlowLayout.clear(), calling .stop() on the dead
animation threw RuntimeError and aborted widget cleanup, leaving
stale thumbnails in the grid.
Now the finished callback nulls self._fade_anim before scheduling
deletion, so clear() never touches a dead object.
evict_oldest and evict_oldest_thumbnails now collect paths, stats,
and sizes in one iterdir() pass instead of separate passes for
sorting, sizing, and deleting. evict_oldest also accepts a
current_bytes arg to skip a redundant cache_size_bytes() call.
150MiB is excessive for local cached file playback. Network
streaming URLs get the 150MiB cap via a per-file override in
play_file() so the fast-path buffering is unaffected.
behavior change: mpv allocates less demuxer memory for local files.
Each prefetch_adjacent() call now bumps a generation counter.
Running spirals check the counter at each iteration and exit
when superseded. Previously, rapid clicks between posts stacked
up concurrent download loops that never cancelled, accumulating
HTTP connections and response buffers.
Also incrementally updates the search controller's cached-names
set when a download completes, avoiding a full directory rescan.
behavior change: only the most recent click's prefetch spiral
runs; older ones exit at their next iteration.
cache_size_bytes() does a full stat() of every file in the cache
directory. It was called on every image load and every infinite
scroll drain. Now skipped if less than 30 seconds since the last
check.
Also replace QPixmap with QImageReader in image_dimensions() to
read width/height from the file header without decoding the full
image into memory.
behavior change: cache eviction checks run at most once per 30s
instead of on every image load. Library image dimensions are read
via QImageReader (header-only) instead of QPixmap (full decode).
Build the cache-dir listing, bookmark ID set, and saved-post ID
set once in on_search_done and reuse in _drain_append_queue.
Previously these were rebuilt from scratch on every infinite
scroll append — a full directory listing and two DB queries per
page load.
Caches are invalidated on new search, site change, and
bookmark/save operations via invalidate_lookup_caches().
Release _pixmap for ThumbnailWidgets outside the visible viewport
plus a 5-row buffer zone. Re-decode from the on-disk thumbnail
cache (_source_path) when they scroll back into view. Caps decoded
thumbnail memory to the visible area instead of growing unboundedly
during infinite scroll.
behavior change: off-screen thumbnails release their decoded
pixmaps and re-decode on scroll-back. No visual difference —
the buffer zone prevents flicker.
The settings thumbnail-resize path now loads from _source_path
instead of scaling from a held _source_pixmap (which no longer
exists after the grid.py change).
