Previously, the whole walk tree was returned. This can be convenient
because you get the whole descendant tree all at once, but it's
unusual since all the other individual .json endpoints only return a
single object, not a list.
The cached_endpoint decorator was detecting that the response content
kept changing, so it never returned 304. Oops. At the moment the client
doesn't even use this key, so if we need it back we can use the etag or
another http header.
The word caching can be ambiguous, and what's worse is this file
previously contained a decorator for server-side caching of a
response and a class for client-side caching of files. It was
confusing. This new separation and naming should make it easier
to find what you're looking for.
Previous called get_data which is dangerous for large but
indeterminate response sizes, and the bail chain was more
difficult to reason about than a simple should_gzip true/false.
Previous version had a bug when the URL contained percent-encoded
spaces because url.replace() was looking for spaces and not replacing
the %20. Constructing the url from parts is more reliable.
With the recent addition of search_embed iframes on other pages, we
had photo cards appearing but the photo_clipboard module was not
imported thus the checkboxes did nothing. I don't want to import
photo_clipboard onto every single page, I'd rather they click through
to the full search UI. Otherwise every single page will have the tray
and often not a good enough reason for it.
So, since the functionality of the checkbox is completely reliant on
the photo_clipboard.js module anyway, there's no reason not to have it
generated by that module.
I was adding messages as strings because that's how they get shown on
the web interface. But it's better to return the real exception objects
and have the interface deal with it.
For a while I've wanted to be able to sort search results by the file's
basename. This is especially important for the cli. SQLite doesn't have
an easy way to split the filepath column by the slash, so the only
choice is to store basename as a separate column. I put it off for a
while but I think it's the right move. However we must not forget to
update it every time we update filepath, which is a bummer.
Move save_clipboard into a 0-timeout. Check checkboxes immediately
instead of relying on apply_check_all / update_pagestate to make a
redundant loop through everything.
In narrow mode, it's very possible to wind up with only 1 photo per row,
and it looks silly when they are left-justified. Centered looks a little
more natural to me in this case.
This prevents the specific tag from being included in the results in
the first place, and has the knock-on effect that the descendants'
lines won't all start with the parent tag's name.
Primarily affects the "unlink" / "delete" buttons on /tags.
Without the padding we can get an extra pt of font size, and these
buttons are somewhat of a readability struggle.
Instead of defining the function with an internal if that will always
pick the same path, let's use that if to instead define a
straightforward function that just does what we want.
Since meta.status would be undefined for an incomplete request,
I would have to check response.completed && response.meta.status,
which is too much burden. Let's set the status immediately, and
if a callback wants to do further diving we'll use completed then.
In e57f87c I moved it to a folder so that every entry in the frontends
dir was a folder. A noble goal, but it always felt silly and I'm quite
sure it will never expand to be more than a single file.
I want to reduce some complexity around here, part of which is that
launch imported entrypoint imported backend, all to do some proxy
wrapping which isn't necessary for the dev case anyway. Less
layers of wrapping and importing is good. Plus I think this naming
is more clear.
Previously, then the tags list was very long and dominated the scroll
height of the page, the #right and thus the photo would be floating
halfway down the page. By making it sticky, the photo always occupies
the correct position in the viewport no matter how long #left gets.
- tag_autocomplete.tags and .synonyms are separate vars, not in tagset.
- tag_autocomplete.tags is now a Set object for faster resolve().
- get_all_tags moved to api.js.
- server provides "updated" timestamp with the all_tags list.
The current system has bad performance when you've got 100,000+ tags.
I discovered that when the server returns 304, the browser gives the
ajax a 200 with the full response, and it's not clear to me if js can
know it got a 304. So, the tag set is being fully re-parsed from the
response on every page load. I was thinking that I should store that in
IndexedDB to avoid the parsing step, but... since the JSON.parse is
done by my common.get before it hits this function, it's meaningless.
Not to mention I still have to rebuild the datalist on every page since
of course that state isn't shared between tabs. Not worth the DB stuff.
We'll see what happens next.
This experiment of bringing Photos and Albums closer to parity in
search is going well so far. I have found some situations where it
is nice to only get albums back from search results.
There was always some semblance that two blank lines has some kind of
meaning or structure that's different from single blank lines, but
in reality it was mostly arbitrary and I can't stand to look at it
any more.
