reosarevok: Wouldn't an editor likely be re-hosting the old URL image with the new system, no matter the source? (On another note, must I manually download then re-upload images already archived by the Wayback Machine?)

jacobbrett: sure, but I was thinking of the (admittedly unlikely) possibility of us getting some DMCA claim but still being able to get the cover from the other site

And... dunno

I've just copied the url, pasted it in the "upload" thing and it works

Although maybe someone will auto-import all those

maybe i'll actually write a script and not just talk abuot it
my plan is to rasterize each page out to a 300 DPI PNG and upload. does that seem sane?

ianweller: tag it, save the booklet, hope we can convince the Archive to host those
2012-05-01 12204, 2012
reosarevok
But... yeah, that works too
2012-05-01 12210, 2012

Except, jpg
2012-05-01 12214, 2012
ianweller
JPG only?
2012-05-01 12215, 2012
reosarevok
We don't have png support yet
2012-05-01 12220, 2012
ianweller
aww.

(ruaok said he'd ask the Archive for it)

okay one more question..only front cover art is gonna be shown of the main release page?
2012-05-01 12244, 2012
reosarevok
I suspect convincing them to host pdf booklets might be more thorny
2012-05-01 12203, 2012
ianweller
PDFs are generally more thorny

drsaunde1: I suggested adding an option to switch front-back
2012-05-01 12222, 2012
reosarevok
But as you can see, the launch is pretty much barebones
2012-05-01 12229, 2012
drsaunde1
well. back to the labels, in many cases the only artwork available
2012-05-01 12238, 2012
reosarevok
(we didn't even fix the "click on cover" thing)
2012-05-01 12248, 2012
reosarevok
Oh, yeah, I see what you mean
2012-05-01 12200, 2012
drsaunde1
i'm gonna call my labels front cover so they will show..fuck it
2012-05-01 12202, 2012
reosarevok
For now there's no way to set anything that is not front to "primary, show this there"
2012-05-01 12214, 2012
reosarevok
I don't know if it's planned or not
2012-05-01 12229, 2012
reosarevok
That's also an option I guess :p
2012-05-01 12236, 2012
drsaunde1
the option is "Front"
2012-05-01 12236, 2012
reosarevok
I mean, technically it might even be true
2012-05-01 12239, 2012
drsaunde1
its the front label
2012-05-01 12251, 2012
reosarevok
Since there probably wasn't anything else on the front
2012-05-01 12255, 2012
reosarevok
So..
2012-05-01 12216, 2012
reosarevok is definitely not going to reject that stuff
2012-05-01 12218, 2012
drsaunde1
generic plain sleeve...we don't need photos of that
2012-05-01 12234, 2012
reosarevok
Yeah, that'd be kinda silly as a front picture :D
2012-05-01 12246, 2012
reosarevok
Front: white square
2012-05-01 12255, 2012
reosarevok
Back: white square
2012-05-01 12202, 2012
reosarevok
drsaunde1: remember you can use two or more types btw
2012-05-01 12215, 2012
reosarevok
(so it might make sense to use front *and* other, or whatever)
2012-05-01 12203, 2012
drsaunde1
oh i didn't know more than one type..and i'll keep my label comment
2012-05-01 12251, 2012
drsaunde1
lol...just noticed that for any artwork edits the artwork shows on the edit page...now thats cool

reosarevok: I kept saying that we need a way to distinguish the image used as the front image from actual fronts but it seems it went over everyone's heads :/

Honey badger don't care!!

and the archive seemed interested in storing absolutely anything, I guess we need to badger them into adding support
