MiloDB 1.6, 2022-09-30
- Fixed: Text highlighting now works properly when highlight spans line-endings
This was a regression bug introduced in version 1.5 as part of the optimisation to 'show', 'showall', 'browse', 'browseall'. - Fixed: Unhandled exception when 'copy' command couldn't access clipboard
This should only affect those that try to run MiloDB on embedded devices that might not have a standard clipboard due to a lightweight operating system. - Fixed: Empty directories from distribution source zip file are now pruned

Re: MiloDB: Finding Old Teases
I just wanted to mention, that this is far more than just searching for old teases. New ones don’t magically get a useful search function without this either ;)
I have always wanted a search function like this for Milovana. Thank you!
If you feel like adding some additional functionality, my request would be some saved queries that I can append, for example

If you feel like adding some additional functionality, my request would be some saved queries that I can append, for example
with savedQuery1 asquery text contains foo and query savedQuery1
The reason is that my searches very often return the same few teases + almost all teases of a certain author (mainly shattered :D)(not titles matches "abcd" and not authorId is 1234)

Re: MiloDB: Finding Old Teases
That's a very interesting idea, and certainly something that could be done (although I probably won't have time to get it into the October 31st release, but maybe the next one).bondfan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 2:48 am If you feel like adding some additional functionality, my request would be some saved queries that I can append, for example

The reason is that my searches very often return the same few teases + almost all teases of a certain author (mainly shattered :D)(not titles matches "abcd" and not authorId is 1234)
Maybe it could be completely generic rather than being specific to the query command.
Proposal for Variables
Set the variable 'myFavouriteQuery' and persist it:
Code: Select all
> var set myFavouriteQuery '(not title matches "abcd" and not authorId is 1234)'
Code: Select all
> query $myFavouriteQuery
> query $myFavouriteQuery and title contains banana
> query title contains banana and $myFavouriteQuery and rating >= 3
Code: Select all
> var set tc "title contains"
> query $tc apple
Code: Select all
> var set qtc "query title contains"
> $qtc apple
> var set someList "list @29180"
> $someList
Code: Select all
> var get myFavouriteQuery
myFavouriteQuery = (not title matches "abcd" and not authorId is 1234)
Code: Select all
> var
myFavouriteQuery = (not title matches "abcd" and not authorId is 1234)
tc = title contains
qtc = query title contains
someList = list @17404
Code: Select all
> var delete myFavouriteQuery
$myFav<TAB>
would complete to:
$myFavouriteQuery
or preset the list of possibilities if there is more than one variable name that starts with 'myFav'.
Limitations
For now, I don't think I'll support recursive expansion. For example:
Code: Select all
> var set fw "FrozenWolf"
> var set myQuery author is $fw
> query $myQuery
query $myQuery' would expand to '
query author is $fw', i.e. it would not expand '
$fw'
An issue might be the accidental use of '$':
Code: Select all
> var set $fw bondfan
Final Thoughts
I'll need to do some careful consideration over the tokenisation of the input during '
var set' and the tokenisation following the expansion. Quotation marks are an indicator to the tokeniser to keep text together, i.e.
"red apple"is stored as a single token,
red apple
with the quotes discarded but everything in-between preserved, including spaces. Therefore when the variables are listed, it needs to add quotation marks back in where appropriate so that red apple
could either be shown as "red apple"or
'red apple'or even
red\ apple, all of which are equivalent. Anyway, that's my problem to worry about!
Do you think that would suit your needs, or have I missed anything, or can you think of a better way of doing it?
Should the variables be saved to 'config,json' or an alternative file since it's not really configuration?

Re: MiloDB: Finding Old Teases
On reflection, another approach would be to save the actual list, which might be what you originally meant and I misunderstoodbondfan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 2:48 am If you feel like adding some additional functionality, my request would be some saved queries that I can append, for example
with savedQuery1 asquery text contains foo and query savedQuery1
The reason is that my searches very often return the same few teases + almost all teases of a certain author (mainly shattered :D)(not titles matches "abcd" and not authorId is 1234)
Proposal for List Saving
To perform a query, save the list, and then perform a query on the saved list:
Code: Select all
> query text contains frogs and not authorId is 1234
> list save lotsOfFrogs
> query on lotsOfFrogs title contains kermit
Restoring the saved list to be the active list:
Code: Select all
> list restore lotsOfFrogs
Code: Select all
> list lotsOfFrogs
Code: Select all
> list 3 lotsOfFrogs @1234 #21892
Code: Select all
> list saved
lotsOfFrogs 8 entries
Adding a prefix to the saved name might make it easier (for me), e.g. '+lotsOfFrogs' so it can be used as a RefId with the other commands too:
Code: Select all
list +lotsOfFrogs
show +lotsOfFrogs
showall +lotsOfFrogs
browse +lotsOfFrogs
browseall +lotsOfFrogs
Final Thoughts
That might be overloading the list command a bit, so alternative commands such as '
saveList lotsOfFrogs', '
restoreList lotsOfFrogs', '
listList' (ugh!),
This approach would be a bit simpler for me to implement and could be implemented in addition to the Variables.
Do you think that would suit your needs, or have I missed anything, or can you think of a better way of doing it?

Re: MiloDB: Finding Old Teases
Oh wow. That’s extensive, glad you like the idea :D
While list refinement could be a decent feature, I feel like it’s already close enough by pressing `up` till the command is back and simply appending filters.
Your first idea with the variables is pretty much exactly what I meant with the limitations not being an issue (it would be one of those "1% functionality, 40% of the work" situations :D). The variables would be kinda like macros. Maybe they could be saved in a plain text file, that would allow sharing or easier editing.

Re: MiloDB: Finding Old Teases
Great, I'll start working on it in the background. With any luck, I'll be able to get it done for the November 30th release. I might have to store the variables in json format, like the config file, depending on whether I tokenise the value of the variable before storing or not; I'm not sure yet.bondfan wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 2:34 am Your first idea with the variables is pretty much exactly what I meant with the limitations not being an issue (it would be one of those "1% functionality, 40% of the work" situations :D).

Summary
For most recent version use this link. Thanks for playing. (Dec 2021 - Some small fixes and a few new sessions in normal play. You wont find them in open mode)
Fortunately, you can still search for all teases with an unknown author with either: '
query authorId = 0' or
'query authorName is ""', but commands such as
'urlauthor #50990'will display an error rather than producing an invalid URL.

MiloDB 1.8, 2022-11-30
Thanks to the suggestion from bondfan, variables can now be used within the input to be expanded automatically.
'var' command
This new command allows setting/deleting/viewing variables. For example:
Is equivalent to:
Variables are recursively expanded, such that the value of one variable may reference another. For example:
Is equivalent to:
Variables can be used anywhere on the input, and are not specific to the query command even though that's probably where they're most likely to be used. For example:
Is equivalent to:
Currently existing variables can be listed:
Variables are loaded from 'variables.json' at startup and are automatically saved when set.
TAB completion works with variable names but only if you lead with a '$'. This is to prevent the variable names being mixed up with command names and keywords.
Current Limitations
Internally, the mechanism for parsing the input has changed significantly. It should still behave exactly the way it did before when entering normal commands without using variables, but if you do spot anything weird going on, I might have missed something, so please let me know.
If in doubt:

TAB completion works with variable names but only if you lead with a '$'. This is to prevent the variable names being mixed up with command names and keywords.
Current Limitations
- When there's a parse error within a variable expansion, the error message may not be quite as useful as it should be. I'll try and improve that.
- TAB completion when there's a parse error within a variable expansion could be misleading. That's a bug.
