welcome to the grid

no important bugfixes, just new features

things to know when upgrading:

• Pillow and FFmpeg is now used to generate thumbnails
  • --no-thumb disables both
  • --no-vthumb disables just FFmpeg
• new optional dependencies:
  • Pillow to enable thumbnails
    • pyheif-pillow-opener to enable reading HEIF images
    • pillow-avif-plugin to enable reading AVIF images
    • ffmpeg and ffprobe to enable video thumbnails
• if you wish to wipe the DB and rebuild it to get the new metadata collected as of this version, and you have expensive -mtp parsers (bpm/key) and a huge database (or a slow server), consider https://github.com/9001/copyparty/tree/master/bin#dbtoolpy

new features:

• thumbnails! of both static images and video files
  • served as webp or jpg depending on browser support
  • new hotkeys: G, T, S, A/D
• additional metadata collection with -e2ts
  • audio/video codecs, video/image resolution, fps, ...
  • if you wanna reindex, do a single run with -e2tsr to wipe the DB
• mtp can collect multiple tags at once
  • expects json like { "tag": "value" }, see end of https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/master/bin/mtag/exe.py

bugfixes:

• when sorting by name, show folders first
• mimetypes for webp and opus on GET
• mojibake support
  • up2k into mb folder
  • indexing files in mb folders
  • editing markdown in mb folders

this is a no drift zone

• browser: fix off-by-one which made the page slowly shrink back down when navigating away from a large folder
• browser/mediaplayer: handle unsupported audio codecs better in some (older?) browsers
• readme/requirements: firefox 34 and chrome 41 were the first browsers with native sha512 / full speed in up2k
• and the feature nobody asked for:
  

fix tagger crash

a

nothing important this time, just new bling and some fixes to support old browsers
(well except for the basic-uploader summary autoclosing immediately on completion, that was kinda user-confusing)

• add ad/an flags to -mtp; collect and display metadata from any file, not just audio-files
• up2k speedboost on older iPhones (native hashing on safari 7 through 10)
• add --lf-url, URL regex to exclude from log, defaults to ^/\.cpr/ (static files)
• add --ihead to print specific request headers, * prints all
• ux fixes
  • include links to the uploaded files in bup summaries
  • ...also make the bup summary not auto-close
  • don't link to bup from up2k if read-only access
  • toggle-switch for tooltips also affects the up2k ui
  • stop flipping back to up2k on older browsers

imagine running servers on windows

• fix: uploads when running copyparty on windows (broke in 0.10.18)
• fix: bup uploads would not get PARTIAL-suffixed if the filename length hits filesystem-max and the client disconnects mid-upload
• add --dotpart which hides uploads as dotfiles until completed
• very careful styling of the basic-browser

just 302 it my dude

• stop trying to be smart, do full redirects instead
• allow switching to basic-browser using cookie b=u
• fix mode-toggling (upload/search) depending on folder permissions
• persist/clear the password cookie with expiration
• slight optimizations for rclone clients
• other minor ui tweaks

denoise

• allow navigating to write-only folders using the tree sidebar
• show logues (prologue/epilogue) in write-only folders as well
  • rename .prologue.html / .epilogue.html when uploaded so people can't embed javascript
• support pyinstaller
• hide more of the UI while in write-only folders
  • hide even more using lovely hacks
• add a notice in bup that up2k is generally better

alternative title: Petit Up2k's - No Gui!

somebody used -c

• cfg-file: fix shorthand for assigning permissions to anonymous users
• sfx: -j works on python3 (pickle did not enjoy the binary comments)
• sfx: higher cooldown before it starts deleting tempfiles from old instances
• sfx: should be a bit smaller (put compressed blobs at the end of the tar)
• misc minor ui tweaks, mostly the bright-mode theme

write-only volumes are write-only

good thing it was so obviously broken and/or that nobody ever tried to use it

• regression test added to keep it fixed
• can now make a hidden/inaccessible folder (optionally inside a public folder) like -v /mnt/nas/music:/music:r -v /mnt/nas/music/inc:/music/inc:w

in other news, minor ui tweaks:

• clickdrag in the media player sliders doesn't select text any more
• a few lightmode adjustments
• less cpu usage? should be

copyparty-sfx.py (latest) made from c5db7c1 (v0.10.15-15) fixes -j (multiprocessing/high-performance)
copyparty-sfx-5a579db.py (old) made from 5a579db (v0.10.15-5) reduced the size

sparse4win

great stuff

• firefox no longer leaking memory like crazy during large uploads
  • not fixed intentionally (the firefox bug still exists i think)
    • one of the v0.10.x changes are accidentally avoiding it w

good stuff

• up2k-cli: conditional readahead based on filereader latency (firefox was not happy)
• up2k-srv: make sparse files on windows if larger than --sparse MiB
  • files will unsparse when upload completes if win10 or newer
  • performance gain starts around 32 and up but default is 4 to save the SSDs
• up2k-cli: fix high cpu usage after returning to idle
• up2k-cli: ui tweaks
• browser: give 404 instead of redirecting home when folder is 404 or 403
• md-srv: stream documents rather than load into memory
