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.
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.
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.
Any properties that are different in wide/narrow mode should be defined
in the correct media query. I got tired of having wide mode be the
default and then narrow mode having to unset/initial all the attributes
that aren't relevant to narrow.
It turns out that last-of-type only considers a single tag type,
it doesn't select last element of class if it has a different tag
than the other classed elements.
I'm having some performance issues with button_with_confirm on /tags.
This won't magically make that faster but I'm trying to stop the main
thread from dragging at least.
Foolishly, I was checking the length of the outputted easybake format,
which included lines for synonyms and multi-parent tags that shouldn't
be part of the tag count.
I'm currently running an experiment where albums are also included in
search results, but they don't cost you any of your limit parameter.
So the len(results) was often bigger than limit and tricking this
paginator into thinking we needed a next page when really we didn't.
This workaround can be undone when I decide how to make the album
results more official.
I skipped them during the commit where I added return to all onclicks
because I figure I won't be wrapping these kinds of attributes.
But I feel like it's better to be consistent and you never know when
it might happen.
Instead of requiring a page refresh to see the new tags. They
just won't be sorted.
Slight bummer, the datalist dropdown pretty much obscures the
whole thing anyway.
Following the previous commit about the checkbox on the /photo page,
this fixes all of the code assuming that we're dealing with photo_card
divs, the majority of which was doing nothing but accessing the id.
I discovered that werkzeug stores cookies in lists, with its .get
returning only the first item of the list. By converting the cookies
to a plain dict, I was breaking that functionality of cookies.get.
So, using werkzeug's MultiDict is the correct choice.
I'm finding weird behavior where on the main /tags page, hovering
over the tags shows the delete / unlink button without a problem,
but on a specific tag page hovering over this button causes the
rest of the list to shift a pixel or two.
I'm sure this line-height fix is nothing more than a bandaid and
not the right thing to change.
I think my original reason for doing this was to prevent the button
from being operational until after the spinner initialization has
completed, so you don't get any weird half-functional spinner buttons.
However, in practice I'm finding that I constantly forget about this
and it adds tedium to creating spinner buttons.
Will review if any actual problems come up.
1. When the list is long, scrolling back up to hit to search
button is annoying.
2. If you select too many, there's no way to know if you're
going to wind up constructing a search with 0 results thus
wasting your time.
I've been thinking about this for a while but couldn't think of
the perfect way to implement it. I still haven't, so instead I'm
just starting with something and we'll see how to improve later.
At any rate, I can update the rest of the system to expect Albums
coming out of search so that if I ever have a better algorithm
everything else will already be ready for it.
For this first experiment, just any photos that are part of an album
will send that album out as a result. It doesn't even respect the
limit parameter, it's really just to see how it feels to use.
Unfortunately these cards are taller rather than wider so the
already-neglected unlink buttom becomes even more horizontally crammed.
That's going to need a big fixup anyway.
The two-sided margin was meant to create a particular spacing on the
albums page, but the purpose of cards is I should be able to use
them in many other contexts. So an all-round margin is easier to
work with when displaying cards anywhere else.
With a name like add_searchtag you'd think it'd be past the point
of reading box input, and deeper into the abstraction zone. But nope,
it wasn't. I'll try to take this a few steps further from here too.
I think at one point I was using full qualnames on the tag objects
in the mmf uls. But now they just show their base name, so this
code is useless. And I don't think I'll reinstate it because tags
have multiple parents now and I don't want to implement all the
lineage checking in the client js. We'll just let the server handle
the slightly less efficient query.
On the main tag listing, for child tags, you only get an unlink
button on hover. So if you want to delete a child tag you'd have to
unlink, then refresh, then delete. Now you can just go to its page
and delete it there.
I tried putting them in the #left but it was looking seriously ugly.
Actually #left is always ugly because the variety of info and buttons
and text alignments. Hover toolbox is not ideal and I don't want it
to become a dumping ground, but deleting should be a rare action and I
don't want it right next to stuff like the basic metadata.
This hook had a bug where you couldn't select text because every
time you push a button, including ctrl+a or shift+left/right, the
cursor position gets reset and then deselects immediately.
So let's only reset the content and cursor only when text changes,
so arrow keys and ctrl don't have any negative effects.
