Upgrading to Version 5.0.3 will reset your cached metadata. This shouldn't have any noticeable impact, but if do encounter any issues (like metadata not loading, or tag and category filters not working), you may need to restart your browser.
Also, please be aware that the changes/fixes made in Version 5.0.3 (just like 5.0.1 and 5.0.2) are primarily for people who are in the Beta Test program for DeviantArt, which is only available for Core members with paid subscriptions. If you are in the Beta Test program and encounter issues with DeviantArt Filter, please either send me (rthaut) a private Note on DeviantArt or create a new issue on GitHub so I can (try to) make DeviantArt Filter compatible with the beta changes.
- User Quick Filter Causes All Thumbnails to be Filtered
- Fixes the rendering of the category sub-levels when creating category filters
Version 5 is a complete re-write. There is a significant amount of new functionality, which, in combination with modern best/common practices, has resulted in a very different user experience for managing your filters. Please see the section on Opening the Management Panel/Screen for help.
- Filter Tags and Categories
- In addition to filtering deviations from specific users, you can now filter uses with specific tags and/or submitted to specific categories.
- Note that there is a slight delay while browsing before your tag and category filters are applied. If your tag and/or category filters do not seem to be working, you may want to enable the debug indicators for metadata to see if metadata is actually being loaded while you browse.
- Sort and Page through Filters
- You can now sort your filters and page through them (instead of scrolling through one giant list).
- Improved Import and Export
- Filters are exported to a file (instead of requiring you to manually copy/paste the data).
- The import/export interface has been overhauled to provide detailed information about import results.
- Drag and drop support for importing filters from a file
- Placeholders Show Why a Thumbnail is Filtered
- Since you are now able to filter by tag, category, or user, the placeholder image (when placeholders are enabled) shows which filter is applied.
- Support for Translations/Internationalization
- Currently, DeviantArt Filter is only available in English, but version 5 fully supports translations. If you want to help translate DeviantArt Filter into other languages, please see CONTRIBUTING.
