        Hi guys. Any proper editors around? I added an artist which was an autoedit, and then added the first release for the artist, which now has a change pending...
      • 2007-09-01 24448, 2007

      • mke
        Can someone vote that in for me? I have the CD here and I know it's valid...
      • 2007-09-01 24427, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        Why do you desperately need it voting in?
      • 2007-09-01 24403, 2007

      • mke
        I added it so I can 'verify' it at home, since my scripts verify against musicbrainz
      • 2007-09-01 24417, 2007

      • mke
        and i can't listen to it until it's verified, that would totally, you know, go against the order of things!
      • 2007-09-01 24444, 2007

      • foolip
        mke: ?
      • 2007-09-01 24408, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        mke: It's "in" the database as soon as the edit is entered, it can just be removed again. :)
      • 2007-09-01 24422, 2007

      • foolip
        why don't you just tag it and listen, it doesn't have to be accepted for you to find it via picard or similar
      • 2007-09-01 24453, 2007

      • mke
        FauxFaux: hm. i tried searching for it, but i can't even find it...
      • 2007-09-01 24457, 2007

      • foolip
        anyway, paste the edit link and maybe I will give it a vote
      • 2007-09-01 24408, 2007

      • foolip
        mke, you need to use direct search
      • 2007-09-01 24413, 2007

      • FauxFaux
        mke: The search indexes aren't updated very often.
      • 2007-09-01 24424, 2007

      • mke
        aha, i see.

        anyone want to look at the latest prototype for album view? imho, looks sweet :)
      • 2007-09-01 24409, 2007

      • Muz_ does
      • 2007-09-01 24437, 2007

      • brianfreud
        html on the way :)
      • 2007-09-01 24443, 2007

      • Muz_
        :)
      • 2007-09-01 24450, 2007

      • brianfreud
        ignore the code - rough and ugly to get the proto done :)
      • 2007-09-01 24404, 2007

      • Muz_
        You're not DCCing it right?
      • 2007-09-01 24417, 2007

      • brianfreud
        lol, have somewhere I can toss it instead?
      • 2007-09-01 24430, 2007

      • Muz_
        Erm good point
      • 2007-09-01 24444, 2007

      • brianfreud needs some sort of hosting :P
      • 2007-09-01 24451, 2007

      • Muz_
        Got it :)
      • 2007-09-01 24453, 2007

      • Muz_
        I just hate irssi and DCC
      • 2007-09-01 24410, 2007

      • brianfreud
        true, but easy for small stuff with no server to host it

      • brianfreud
        lol
      • 2007-09-01 24453, 2007

      • Muz_ is getting confuzzled
      • 2007-09-01 24459, 2007

      • Muz_
        Right, finally got it
      • 2007-09-01 24404, 2007

      • brianfreud does it the easy way...
      • 2007-09-01 24416, 2007

      • Muz_
        This irssi instance is on my office machine
      • 2007-09-01 24441, 2007

      • Muz_
        Oooh perty
      • 2007-09-01 24452, 2007

      • Muz_
        IT's a bit... wide
      • 2007-09-01 24406, 2007

      • Muz_
        And the images a tad to big, could kill two birds with one stone ;)
      • 2007-09-01 24406, 2007

      • brianfreud
      • 2007-09-01 24423, 2007

      • brianfreud
        well, the idea is that the images be configurable,
      • 2007-09-01 24439, 2007

      • Muz_
        Mmm
      • 2007-09-01 24447, 2007

      • brianfreud
        so you can set how small or big you want them in prefs, and it lays out the listings accordingly
      • 2007-09-01 24415, 2007

      • Muz_
        That could effect displaying the release data though
      • 2007-09-01 24416, 2007

      • Muz_
        :/
      • 2007-09-01 24438, 2007

      • brianfreud
        yeah, any smaller than this in image size, I don;'t think the components could shrink more
      • 2007-09-01 24450, 2007

      • brianfreud
        but you could double the cover image if you wanted, etc
      • 2007-09-01 24440, 2007

      • Muz_
        It's too big if you ask me
      • 2007-09-01 24445, 2007

      • Muz_
        Nightmare on the minwidth :/
      • 2007-09-01 24449, 2007

      • brianfreud
        actually, it ended up looking almost ipod to me :P
      • 2007-09-01 24409, 2007

      • Muz_
        Don't make me use the 800x600 test!
      • 2007-09-01 24410, 2007

      • Muz_
        :P
      • 2007-09-01 24421, 2007

      • brianfreud
        lol, I design on 1180x768 - right now, it's all just absolute positions, to get stuff in the right place
      • 2007-09-01 24441, 2007

      • Muz_
        Mmm
      • 2007-09-01 24442, 2007

      • brianfreud
        idea is that, done right, it'd wrap the divs to fit your screen
      • 2007-09-01 24404, 2007

      • Muz_
        How would it handle artists, like say, Iron Maiden whom have a hell of a lot of albums
      • 2007-09-01 24414, 2007

      • brianfreud
        page after page :P
      • 2007-09-01 24421, 2007

      • Muz_
        :/
      • 2007-09-01 24435, 2007

      • Muz_
        Not sure I agree with that, makes it more tedious when tagging with picard and the browser manually
      • 2007-09-01 24438, 2007

      • brianfreud
        rather, screen after screen, all on one page
      • 2007-09-01 24441, 2007

      • Muz_
        Or just finding releases in general
      • 2007-09-01 24445, 2007

      • brianfreud
        this isn't for tagging though
      • 2007-09-01 24403, 2007

      • brianfreud
        it's the "no editing, just showing cover art and basic info" view
      • 2007-09-01 24411, 2007

      • Muz_
        Ahhh gotcha
      • 2007-09-01 24415, 2007

      • brianfreud
        suppliment to the current view, not a replacement
      • 2007-09-01 24433, 2007

      • Muz_
        I can see this view being useful for editing though
      • 2007-09-01 24439, 2007

      • brianfreud
        the other half of the idea, which I've not re-proto'd, is that you could flip to edit mode in this,
      • 2007-09-01 24442, 2007

      • Muz_
        Like picking up opn missing ARs
      • 2007-09-01 24453, 2007

      • brianfreud
        for release-urls, and it'd go single release per row
      • 2007-09-01 24400, 2007

      • brianfreud
      • 2007-09-01 24410, 2007

      • brianfreud
        yup
      • 2007-09-01 24433, 2007

      • Muz_
        oooh
      • 2007-09-01 24440, 2007

      • Muz_
        Hmm
      • 2007-09-01 24446, 2007

      • Muz_ had an idea
      • 2007-09-01 24405, 2007

      • brianfreud
        earlier version of the view proto was http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/brianfreud/?…
      • 2007-09-01 24418, 2007

      • Muz_
        Maybe when I get back to my flat and it's awesome connection, and have my mythtv/new dev server set up, look into giving you some webspace
      • 2007-09-01 24430, 2007

      • brianfreud
        lol
      • 2007-09-01 24436, 2007

      • brianfreud
        that'd be cool :)
      • 2007-09-01 24443, 2007

      • Muz_
        Shouldn't be too hard, given you know how to use ssh and a linux terminal :P
      • 2007-09-01 24458, 2007

      • brianfreud glances at "Linux for dummies"
      • 2007-09-01 24417, 2007

      • Muz_
        mv cp rm and mkdir, possibly all you'd want :P
      • 2007-09-01 24438, 2007

      • brianfreud
        yeah, I can dredge the old UNIX out of the recesses of my brain :D
      • 2007-09-01 24432, 2007

      • brianfreud
        ok, new proto'd edit mode (ignore that the text fields are all unaligned...) http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/brianfreud/?…
      • 2007-09-01 24434, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        hola the unalignment is really problematic
      • 2007-09-01 24403, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        brianfreud: the stuff about release-event is not immediately clear (bottom)
      • 2007-09-01 24421, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        i mean, you get it after looking at it a 2nd or 3rd time but it's irritating
      • 2007-09-01 24415, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        eh

      • 2007-09-01 24434, 2007

        it shall be relaxing!

        brianfreud: erm
      • 2007-09-01 24440, 2007

      • brianfreud
        in terms of not IDing the columns, I mean
      • 2007-09-01 24454, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        brianfreud: yeah because it's also stretched
      • 2007-09-01 24404, 2007

      • brianfreud
        in both modes, or just edit mode?
      • 2007-09-01 24406, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        1990 United States Official <- makes it hard to read
      • 2007-09-01 24415, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        brianfreud: no the other was good
      • 2007-09-01 24443, 2007

      • brianfreud
        In view mode there's really just not the space, but I guess in edit mode there's plenty of space :)
      • 2007-09-01 24457, 2007

      • brianfreud
        have to stretch it some, cause

      • 2007-09-01 24454, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        brianfreud: well ok but i think it's more important that it's readable and recognizable rather
      • 2007-09-01 24457, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        so something like
      • 2007-09-01 24402, 2007

      • brianfreud
        d/c?

        would be much better
      • 2007-09-01 24426, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        no matter that it's not always "column aligned"
      • 2007-09-01 24434, 2007

      • brianfreud
        yes, but then if you have 5 events, they don't line up
      • 2007-09-01 24444, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        well ok _if_ you have more, then you can make them line up
      • 2007-09-01 24456, 2007

      • Cellardoor
        but with just one there's no need to strecth the columns, and it looks confusing
      • 2007-09-01 24406, 2007

        wouldn't just column titles in edit mode be cleaner?

        brianfreud: but at least please add "Status:" in front of the status

        brianfreud: yeah or that

        well ok if there are column headers then Status could be one of them and it serves the same purpose

        even for people who know their way around MB it can be confusing i think; at least it requires a 2nd look which ideally shouldn't be needed

        theoretically, too, if/when we ever have the ability to attach ARs for cover and such directly to the events, the line(s) in events could also be selectable here, to switch between the different ARs for those events

      • Cellardoor
        yeah ok this is better except, maybe the headers should be a shade of the grey background (slight blue?) instead of similar to the overall header

      • Cellardoor
        maybe not a really important difference

        but generally it's good
