      • komanchoo
        phibs: it also freezes when saving flacs
      • Leo_Verto
        huh, I mostly use flacs and have never had that happen
      • komanchoo
        Leo_Verto: really, happens to me, though flacs are read from a samba drive and saved to a local drive
      • Leo_Verto
        does it straight up freeze or just hang for a while?
      • komanchoo
        hang for a while
      • cant do anything until the queue is free
      • Leo_Verto
        ah yeah, probably bottlenecked by the smb read speed then
      • komanchoo
        i can occasionally gain clicks etc, which seems to happen between songs for a sec or so

      • github has left the channel
      • Leo_Verto
        but that's definitely a situation where threading the UI would help a lot
      • komanchoo
        yeah, i loose a lot of time due to freezes like that ;(
      • Leo_Verto
        mhm
      • another piece of software you (and phibs) might want to try out is beets.io which is less of a dagger and more of a cli music library management tool
      • komanchoo
        i can check it out
      • Leo_Verto
        I've never really used it but it seems pretty useful when you're dealing with larger music collections
      • komanchoo
        yeah thanks i will look into it
      • Leo_Verto
        I think #beets is the corresponding IRC channel
      • komanchoo
        cool
      • phibs
        komanchoo: I think the FLAC issue is, sometimes the tags won't fit, so it has to expand
      • Leo_Verto: yeah i've tried beets, much easier to correct matches/move stuff in picard though
      • Leo_Verto
        yeah, definitely
      • but iirc quite a few people here use Picard and beets together, they complement each other quite nicely
      • phibs
        ah ok
      • and agreed on UI threading at least.
      • I'd submit diffs but i'm no code wizard yet ;0
      • Leo_Verto
        PICARD-936 has some interesting discussion regarding multithreading

        PICARD-936: UI sluggish when doing load/save over network share https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-936
      • Leo_Verto
        (also exactly komanchoos's issue)
      • and seemingly Picard already does some sort of multithreading, I did not know that
      • phibs
        yeah
      • I don't know if its my network share I have 10G from desktop to server and can definitely fill that reading/writing
      • maybe samba locks or something stupid
      • Leo_Verto
        komanchoo: by the way, have you filled out our user survey yet? only 45 minutes left before I'm going to close it https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gd66LK1BElTdNS...
      • phibs
        HEHE
      • Leo_Verto
        seriously, I'm sitting at 1,199 responses here and I really don't want to have that be the final number
