WhatsApp strips every EXIF tag and names the file "WhatsApp Image
2023-06-15 at 07.00.42.jpeg"; Windows Phone, Android cameras and
darktable's import put the date in the name too. Those images sorted
after everything else and were absent from the timeline.
name_dates reads a date (and a time, when one follows) from the file
name, then from the innermost folder that states one. A sequence number
after a date is not read as a time, and a bare year folder is not a date.
EXIF always wins: only examined rows still undated are filled.
The sweep and the metadata repair fill as they mark an image examined,
and the open backfill fills catalogs examined by earlier builds. On the
reference library that takes 274 undated images to 10; the no-op case is
a seek on images_captured, 0.6 ms an open.
A panorama the merge did not make, a stitch from another program or a
phone's sweep, never had a width or height in the catalog, so it could
never be given a wide cell. The header read that dates a photograph now
records its size as it is seen, orientation applied, alongside the date.
Thirty-nine spawn sites in dr-ui, and one in the Android entry point,
called std::thread::spawn or a Builder of their own, and most of the
threads they started were <unnamed> in a panic message or a profiler.
Each now calls executors::spawn with its executor and a role, so the thread is
named <executor>:<role> — net:sync, decode:thumbs, io:catalog-open —
and knows which executor it is on. The three that already set a name
(automation, import, prefetch) keep their name as the role.
Behaviour is unchanged: each job still gets a thread of its own when it
starts, and spawn panics where std::thread::spawn did.
The module's documentation now says how a job is assigned: by what it
spends its time on, so a sweep that fetches bytes and then decodes them
is Decode, and a sidecar write that touches the catalog is Network.
Left as they were: the segmentation and refine workers in masks_ui.rs,
which another change is reworking, and test-only threads.
With the trait in place the claim still meant nothing while every caller
named dr_decode's free functions: a second decoder would have had to be
threaded through the scan, the thumbnail ladder, import, the viewer,
export, merge and repairs at the moment it arrived.
Each of those now takes a &dyn Decoder and reads headers, previews,
orientation and sensor data through it, including the header budget a
remote fetch asks for (header_bytes) and where it finds the embedded
preview (locate_preview). Only the places that start a job name
dr_decode::default(): the thumbnail, sweep and thumbnail-sweep threads,
the viewer's open handlers, and the request structs a job is handed
(BatchRequest, MergeRequest, the import Request, the repairs Toolkit),
so a caller can be given another decoder by changing what it is handed.
The default is rawler through the same free functions as before, so
nothing a user sees changes. The trait gains Debug as a supertrait so
request structs that derive Debug can carry one.
library.rs was 7,729 lines wiring together everything "open a remote
library" touches: scanning, pulling other devices' judgements out of
sidecars found along the way, writing local edits back out to the
sidecar outbox, pushing/reloading XMP by hand, fetching and prefetching
thumbnails and originals, generating thumbnails locally, the metadata
and thumbnail background sweeps, on-disk paths for the catalog and
model files, and reading the grid's cells, spans and rating filter.
Same motivation as the develop.rs split (docs/dev/code-health.md CH-1):
a pure, no-behaviour-change move into one file per area, each under
about 1,500 lines.
Tracing actual call sites rather than trusting the file's physical
layout mattered here: `persist`, `load_folder_etags`, `pull_sidecars`,
`load_sidecar_etags`, `record_sidecar_read` and `apply_judgement` sit
textually beside the XMP push/reload functions but are called only
from `run_scan` (pulling a device's own past judgements out of the
sidecars a scan just walked), so they went to scan.rs and not xmp.rs.
`cells` came out at over 1,800 lines once its tests moved with it and
split further into cells.rs (windowed reads, trash, ordinals) and
spans.rs (collection scope, manual reordering, the capture-time
histogram) -- ten submodules rather than the nine first planned.
Previously-private items reached from a sibling module became
`pub(super)`, narrower than the whole-crate reachability one file gave
them. Tests moved with the code they test; the two test fixtures used
across more than one file (`scanned`, and develop.rs's
`session_with_a_left_half_subject` in the matching commit) joined the
shared `test_support` module alongside the existing `entry`/
`with_images`/`image_ids` helpers. `mod.rs` re-exports every module's
public items under `library::`, including the `pub(crate)`
`test_support` module `repairs.rs` reads its fixtures from, so no file
outside `library` needed a change.
The previous commit split develop.rs the same way; taken alone it left
dr-ui without library.rs, so that intermediate commit does not build on
its own. This one restores it.
