I’m toying with the idea of a 'paste file/bitmap onto the client, it then does a similar-files search without importing the file’ process, basically a 'sauce?’ command from your clipboard, which might actually be real easy to add, but we’ll see. Please just install as normal, you still have no special update instructions for the v527 step (it’ll just work now!). Thanks to the users who helped figure this out. The macOS App had a couple problems last week, with the client->hydrus_client change, and it wasn’t booting correctly.

I’d also, fairly soon, like to plug system predicate parsing into the normal file search autocomplete so more users can play with this. My ideal is to get the text that a system predicate copies to clipboard perfectly parseable. You can type 'since’ or 'before’ rather than having to figure out which ’’ you mean, and putting a colon in or 'ago’ on the end should parse more reliably. The time-based system predicate parsing is also more flexible. This _should_ also vastly improve Client API browsing latency for these situations, since the cancel tech is supposed to fire when a search request is dropped, but let me know how it works IRL. If you put in a search with ‘system:imported since 6 months ago’, and you then update it before it finishes, it should cancel that ongoing search and start the new one very quickly. I improved a bunch of the file search cancel tech. It is hacky comma-separated numbers, like the zoom intervals, but have a fiddle and you’ll get it. If you regularly use a custom slideshow time, you can now edit the quick-select times shown in the media viewer menu under options->media. A bit short on work time, but there’s some simple quality of life and bug fixes. If you are updating from 526 or earlier, please consult the post here: NOTICE! Version 527 had special update instructions.
