Adds a preferences JSON field on the user plus GET/POST
/api/auth/preferences/ (merge semantics, validated keys), surfaced in
/auth/me/ and typed on the frontend.
The Account page gains a Browsing preferences card: landing page,
default rating filter, default sort, items per page and thumbnail size.
Signed-in users also sync these while browsing (the Library sidebar's
rating/sort/per-page controls and the new thumbnail slider), debounced;
on load the account's values seed the local UI state, so settings follow
the user across browsers. Guests keep the existing localStorage
behaviour. The thumbnail size drives the media grids (Library, Online,
pool detail) between 140 and 320px columns.
Verified the API against the dev server: merge keeps untouched keys,
invalid values 400, values round-trip through /auth/me/.
Users can now set their own profile picture instead of asking staff:
POST /api/auth/avatar/ accepts a J-ID (or blank to clear) and reuses the
same item resolution as the staff endpoint. The Account page gains a
profile picture card with a searchable, paginated library grid — any
item works (the thumbnail is used), the current avatar is marked, and
the choice is confirmed before saving. Refreshing the signed-in user
updates the shell avatar immediately.
Verified against the dev server: set, clear, unknown J-ID -> 400,
anonymous -> 401.
Backend:
- Perceptual hashes (aHash/dHash/pHash/wHash via imagehash, no imgdd)
stored on items, computed on upload/download and by the new
compute_visual_hashes command
- Duplicates API: exact duplicates (multi-location items), visual matches
for one item, union-find similarity groups with pagination
- Delete API with ownership/staff checks, per-item and per-copy deletion,
watched-folder path validation; storage overview and temp cleanup;
file list accepts j_ids batches
- Staged uploads are flagged visual_match with their library matches
(threshold via VISUAL_MATCH_THRESHOLD)
- Staff users API: list with upload counts, set role and avatar by J-ID;
User.avatar FK with signed avatar URLs
- Download threads close their DB connection and stale tasks are reaped,
keeping behaviour Gunicorn-friendly
Frontend:
- /duplicates: exact duplicate groups with per-copy delete, visual
similarity controls, search similar to a J-ID, paginated groups with
selection, bulk delete and dismiss
- /delete: storage cards, delete by J-ID with preview grid, temp cleanup
- /users: staff directory with role selects and avatar J-ID inputs
- Nav + command palette entries; top-bar avatar; upload cards and the
metadata modal show library visual matches
Backend:
- User model gains e621_username / e621_api_key / e621_base_url
- GET/PUT /api/auth/e621/ for the owner's credentials; /me exposes only
the username and a configured flag, never the key
Frontend:
- e621 client core: Basic auth, _client param (browsers cannot set a
User-Agent), serialized queue throttled to 1 request/second, readable
error mapping
- Account screen (/account): username, API key with reveal toggle,
base URL (e621 / e926 / custom), Save + Test connection
- Credentials are fetched from the backend and held in memory only,
cleared on logout
Backend (Django 6.1 + DRF):
- Token auth with a custom User model (register/login/logout/me)
- Library models (MediaItem, MediaLocation) and REST endpoints
- File list/detail with search, rating filter, sorting, pagination
- Multipart upload with optional rating/tags/notes
- Range-aware media serving (video seeking) and ffmpeg thumbnails
- scan_files management command for the watched folder
Frontend (React 19 + Vite + TypeScript):
- Catppuccin Mocha design tokens from the design docs
- App shell, token persistence, protected routes
- Library grid with filters, file detail with custom data editor
- Upload page with per-file progress via XHR
- Dev proxy to the Django API
