Conversation
Definition: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/dependency-groups The optional dependency table ([project.optional-dependencies]) is supposed to be user-facing for installs of TagStudio. Meanwhile, the replacement dependency groups is explicitly meant for extra development tools, so lets use that. This does mean the command for a full development environment has changed from: ```sh pip install -e '.[dev]' ``` To: ```sh pip install -e . --group all ``` The documentation has been adjusted for a quick replacement, but probably should have more information on a later time.

The optional dependency table (
[project.optional-dependencies]) is supposed to be user-facing for installs of TagStudio. Meanwhile, the replacement dependency groups is explicitly meant for extra development tools, so lets use that.This does mean the command for a full development environment has changed from:
pip install -e '.[dev]'To:
pip install -e . --group allThe documentation has been adjusted for a quick replacement, but probably should have more information on a later time.
This does matter outside pedanticism by preparing for us to use optional dependencies for its intended use, notably some dependencies we rely on can and should be made optional (looking at you Valve Source). This also allows tools to be better grouped and inherited.
