heh, yeah, I rename "Various Artists" to "Soundtrack" if the release type contains soundtrack.

Right. I keep forgetting about that. I do similar processing here for soundtracks as well.

chaban: can you add a ticket with your research and how to reproduce? :)

Hi i am a MERN stack developer and looked in some projects of MetaBrainz foundation, could anyone help me, on how i could start contributing to their projects.

sparsh: hi! We use Postgres in most places if not everywhere (I don't think we use Mongo anywhere, but maybe ruaok knows something I don't), but there's plenty of React, so that might be of interest. Any particular things you are into?

... too late

reosarevok: Unsuccessfully tried to reproduce with a fresh release: https://test.musicbrainz.org/release/a4f73d09-b...

Looks like only old releases when medium adds didn't exist yet are affected.

Huh

That's... weird, but I guess there's a reason. Still, please document :)

Can no longer reproduce with old release add (type 216): https://test.musicbrainz.org/release/6b2d1604-b...

This time I tried to make the exact same steps (except dupe edits)

(First time I rushed because there were already 2 yes-votes)

So, does this mean edit data and display was misleading again (MBS-10279)? Or did I screw up my setup the second time too?

MBS-10279: Release merge edits display stale, possibly incorrect recording merge info https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-10279

Submitted a ticket: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-10475

MBS-10475: Edits trying to remove mediums that were canceled make it look like the wrong (good) medium is gonna be removed

reosarevok: right, my question is why "submit" is ever not all the way on the right.

"it's like that on the rest of the site" is not responsive to my concern, which is why it should ever be anywhere but right justified.

I dunno why it was originally placed on the left side of the page

I mean, every computer UI I use all day long pretty much has "submit" or "commit" on the right, because most languages read left to right?

It's generally first because that's the first tab after the text, I expect

(as in, text, tab, submit)

But to me it seems sensible to have it on the left *because most languages read left to right*

but.. but... everyone else who makes computer UI disagrees?

So wouldn't you want the thing you're most likely looking for be the first thing you see on the line?

like, I'm not trying to be obtuse, I'm just confused, because since I've been thinking about this issue

I've noticed that pretty much every other UI ever has "submit" on the right

(maybe it has changed in the last 10 years, to be fair)

I mean, the primary case I'm thinking of is... every windows application ever, pretty much? and osx?

maybe I just haven't been noticing how many of them have "submit" on the left?

Apparently Windows tends to have Ok then Cancel, and OSX Cancel then Ok

Or at least used to :)

I don't use either much, so not sure how it's now :)

anyway, I'm just being whiny, I have no actual science

just a subconscious feeling that when I want to "submit" I go to the rightmost ui element.

make it a huge green button at the bottom over the whole width

fixed forever! :joy:

SothoTalKer: don't tempt me

i was serious :p

Line one of buttons: a full length ENTER EDIT

hah! windows UI I just looked at. YES / NO / CANCEL

Line two: the rest

:facepalm:

darwin: to be fair, I think you're right there's somewhat more people expecting it on the right

(although nowhere near everyone)

Getting more and more tempted to do the big button

Maybe I'll write it as an april fools and then be amazed when people want to keep it :p

the big button would probably be fine with me? I mean, it'd look kinda weird

but I think I'd be less disturbed by it, heh

while you're at it, make a separate summary box for each edit :)

Now that's a bit more effort

Although I'd like it

make it optional ^^

I mean, it should clearly be optional, and have a main edit note section that gets applied to all of them plus an extra field for each that gets applied to only that edit

But it's still hard :p

tedious maybe

oh, reosarevok, there's something I wanted to mention

on the "Edit note" thing, it says the phrase "where you got your information from" twice. seems pretty redundant?
