HappyPanda X PREVIEW v0.0.6

Starting on driving lessons this month so I might become a bit busier
I recommend rebuilding your database (with the conversion script HPtoHPX) for this version.

Changelog

• New stuff
  • [webclient]: implemented infinite scrolling
  • [webclient]: added e-hentai tag definitions. These can be found at translations/en_us.tag.yaml and shown when you click on a tag
  • [webclient]: added more options in the Preferences popup/page
  • [server]: temp folder will now be deleted on shutdown
  • [gui/server]: added setting gui.start_on_boot and added implementation for Windows (other OSes in coming versions)
• Fixes
  • [server]: fixed issue in conversion script where pages failed to be generated for archives with subfolders
  • [webclient]: fixed connection issues
  • misc. other fixes

Important info

HPX requires sufficient permissions to read and write from it's own folder to be able to run properly. This is required for the auto-update process to work.
On Windows it means you shouldn't install HPX somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86). If you still choose to do so just remember to run HPX as admin.

How to install

1. Download the archive/installer matching your OS
2. Extract the archive or run the installer
3. Run happypandax_gui or happypandax

HPX is self-contained. Everything HPX creates and modifies, it does so in its own folder. The installer is just there to ease the install. On Windows it creates 3 shortcuts to happypandax_gui.exe. They are placed in your Desktop, Start Menu and Start Menu/Programs folders.

If you're on Windows < 10, you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 to run HPX. The setup file is included in the archive, look for vc_redist.x86.exe. If you're using the installer, this setup file will automatically be run for you.

  • [server]: allow ordering and grouping by multiple mapper columns
• Changed stuff
  • [server]: handle address in use error properly
  • [docs]: updated docs
  • updated various libraries
• Fixes
  • [server]: fixed bug where HPtoHPX conversion script was unusable before starting the server once
  • misc. other fixes

I don't have a Mac so I can't build binaries for OSX. When I get time I will try out a Docker solution.
I remember trying to set up a VM long ago without success. I might try again, but for now, please run from source.
See how to here.

Important info

HPX requires sufficient permissions to read and write from it's own folder to be able to run properly.
On Linux it also needs permission to execute scripts. This means a simple sudo ./happypandax is not enough. This is required for the auto-update process to work.
On Windows it means you shouldn't install HPX somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86). If you still choose to do so just remember to run HPX as admin.
