oh I closed and opened again, and now its showing the directories for the drives

aside from the weirdness with the network shares, does the file selection process act erratically?

imo, the list of files would be better if it were one vertical list

but now, its not showing me any files, and not letting me drag directories

cikkolata: agreed. I haven't figured out the magic incantation for that yet.

uh oh, it's stupid o'clock in the morning again.

I found some mp3s

and I can drag them over to the right hand side (once I realised to drag them onto the handily named "Drag tracks to identify here" part, not the "Unmatched files" part.

:-)

which OSes are you two running?

windows is xp pro

WinXP Pro SP2 (Cleanly install about 2 hours ago)

ok.

I really hate that dir control. It sucks my will to live.

ok every other time I go into the tagger it either shows directories, or only drives

ok, forget about the dir control. I will write my own. Just use the File|Add * functions

(completely unrelated, I'm so used to my nice antialiased fonts that the big "test server" looks like it could cut wood)

oh, its safe to change the config to point to the main server....

oh it will show files in c:\mp3s\ but not in c:\mp3s\A\

bramp: do you know any python?

sorry nope

k

hehe i found a helix exploit

do you do any programming?

yes I code in every language but python :)

python is dead simple... You could do me a big favor by helping me debug a few things.

sure go ahead

it would involve installing python and wxpython

then I can walk you through adding some debug statements.

I had/have python installed somewhere

check the version please. needs to be 2.3

however, sorry to be anonying but its 4:48am here, so I think I need sleep soonish

Ahhh.

you're in the UK too?

I don't want to push you, but how much time do you have?

ya cikkolata...

I could give you a bit longer if you want this done now :)

ooh.

its not terribly urgent.

ok my python throws a dll not found error when I try running it... /me downloads lastest

bah i thought i was sneaky, could go through 'browse cvs' and dl every while =[ but its too much work

:o

unicode!

of course!

I'm not fucking around anymore.

hmm

I wonder if the new wxpython fixes some of these dir issues.

Hmmm.

ruaok, do I need some source to do this testing? if so, you got a url?

it's put a white and red icon next to the wrong track when I dragged the file to the album

cikkolata: that means its a low match.

not necessarily wrong.

(it's some dodgy thing with sjis id3 tags)

bramp: let me make a tarball

it is though, I added this

year: 1800

heh.

what is a good start year??

0? being as the year can't be lower than that

I like 0 too, I think

:-)

but dont years start with 1

how do I tell it that it's wrong?

bramp: the tarball is on the way out.

thats why 2000 wasnt the millenium, 2001 was

cikkolata: drag the track to somewhere correct, or back to unmatched.

bramp: http://musicbrainz.org/~robert/picard.zip

ah but real, in a ID3 tag, I think 0000 is the smallest value allowed in the field

:o

it's so... draggable!

I'm not used to this

cikkolata: :-)

I will have to make keyboard shortcuts for all that.

bramp: unzip that and then you should be able to run it by invoking it with: python tagger.py

you may need to give it the full path to the python interpreter.

cikkolata: does it make sense?

sure ruaok... just installing wxPython now

ok

windows didn't like that filename.

the dragging and dropping?

yes, and the whole app...

it seems to

bad interprter!!

I'm just used to dragging and dropping not working in linux.

:-)

oh noezz

back to step 1, needs wxpython 2.5

ok ruaok, "ImportError: No module named tunepimp"

Grr.

tunepimp is good stuff

whoa

eek, those filenames

ruaok: did you knwo that google search for debian wxpython2.5 the first page is the mb wiki!!!

bramp: I forgot that we need to install the bindings.

lol and it catches that because of response to my bug thing!! i made a differenece in world

how much more energy you got?

ok.

:)

or two

cikkolata: that unicode doesn't actually make it into the tags yet. :-(

I'm confused

one sec.

I'm definitely looking at the japanese I was expecting

the filename is butchered though

how do you check id3 tags in windows?

japaense eat a lot of fish, phosphorus is good for brain, japan has leats brain disease then everyone else =/

bramp: http://musicbrainz.org/~robert/python-musicbrai...

bramp: http://musicbrainz.org/~robert/tunepimp.zip

cikkolata, right click properties from explorer, and then the summary page shows the tag

cikkolata: really? Cool!

aha.

bramp: for the python-musicbrainz, do this:

python setup.py install

in the dir that is created

windows says "meh, don't like utf-8", but id3info and uxterm say "ooh, look at the pretty japanese!"

same for the tunepimp, but go the python subdir

cikkolata: I'm impressed. :-)

File "D:\My Projects\My Python\picard\python-musicbrainz\musicbrainz.py", line 24, in ?

ImportError: No module named ctypes

I think windows expects utf-16 (along with utf-16 filenames)

crap. crap. carp.

one more package to install. Sigh.

one sec.

tunepimp\python installs fine

only because i don't check for cytpes. yet. :-)

:)

oh windows, stop sucking.

cikkolata: LOL. good luck.

another error :/

cikkolata: I'm copying another build out for you.

bramp: :-(

was

mbdll = cdll.LoadLibrary("musicbrainz.dll")

...

WindowsError: [Errno 126] The specified module could not be found

ah crap.

edit that line please.

make it use libmusicbrainz.dll

sure

I ran my quick nifty perl script to set the utf-8 flag thing for id3 fields, works fine in rhythmbox (which is strict about interpreting utf16 flagged stuff as utf16, utf8 flagged stuff as utf8 and everything else as latin1) and now it's showing a mixture of chinese, korean and full width boxes.
