Description
v0.5.3 — Hotfix: Startup Crash & Database Lock
Startup Crash Fix — Fixed a
NameErrorcrash that prevented the Gradio extension from initializing on remote WebUI instances (like RunPod) after the recent pagination updates.Database Lock Fix — Disabled WAL mode and added an automatic cleanup routine for orphaned
.db-waland.db-shmfiles. This permanently prevents thedatabase disk image is malformederror that occurred when updating the extension viagit pullon remote servers.Gallery History Click — Fixed issue where clicking a character in the "Recently Viewed" list wouldn't load their details.
v0.5.2 — History Pagination, Auto-Select & DB Series Rescue
DB Series Rescue — Automatically fixed 709 popular characters (including Konosuba, JoJo, Re:Zero) that were missing their franchise metadata entirely by extracting and standardizing their 2nd copyright tag.
Recently Viewed Extended — Increased history retention limit from 20 to 100 characters and added independent, fully functional pagination controls exclusively inside the "Recently Viewed" tab.
Auto-Select Search Results — Submitting a search now automatically selects and loads the preview image and attributes of the first resulting character, saving you an extra click.
v0.5.1 — Global Pagination & Forge State Saving
Global Pagination — Pagination controls (top and bottom) are now truly global, existing outside the "Search Results" tab. This allows seamless page navigation across any visible tab (Search, History, etc.) without losing context.
Forge State Saving — Added permanent
elem_idhooks to all key inputs (Search, Series, Dropdowns). This allows AUTOMATIC1111/Forge's native "Save UI Defaults" feature to reliably serialize and restore your exact filter state across reboots.Search Reset Fixes — Fixed a bug where clicking "Clear Search" or "Clear All" would break the Series dropdown by setting it to
None. It now correctly resets back to the"All"state.
