Ich möchte mich nicht für eine Fehlermeldung anmelden, und mach daher vom Angebot gebrauch mich hier zu melden...

Ich nute gerade Musicbrainzp... unter Linux Mint14. Und stelle fest, das ich leider den Optionen Dialog nicht bedienen kann. Die Spalte mit den Beschreibungen läßt sich nicht vergrößern?!

Ist das bekannt?

hmm... welche version von picard?

Mint 14 is based on Ubuntu 12.10, so I would guess the same version Ubuntu ships in 12.10.

so, 1.0

so 1.0. http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/picard

nikki: 1.0 zeigt die Übersichtsseite

jesus ping?

Or any other French speaker?

murdos: ? :)

I think it was http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/PICARD-303 but apparently I'm too slow :/

Freso: hello

Krystof: What does "Juillet a Tahiti" mean? "Juillet of/from Tahiti"?

in

July in Tahiti

well, assuming that it's à Tahiti

Ah.

otherwise it means "July has Tahiti"

It might be! :D

There's no accents on the cover,

wow, the power of procrastination. I'm meant to be writing exams; instead I'm speculatively translating French titles on IRC

But then, there are *no* accents on the cover.

it is all caps?

Krystof: so you'll write them in a hurry and annoyed and be cruel? :p

Wait, no, there's one.

conventionally in French, you don't put accents on capitals

if this is Dream Island and the Amazon listings are accurate (hah), the A is capitalised

I thought that was jsut because they can't type them

it can be a historically-contingent convention

Dunno. There was a time when Spanish kids were taught not do put accents on capitals either

now you're going to distract me from my exams to make me find out when the Académie documented the rule

But I'm not sure if it was a real *rule*, or more that teachers saw it wasn't printed and assumed that was the case :p

Krystof: Does "D.P." mean anything specific? Domain publique?

(at some point the academy was like "meh, this is silly. CAPITALS WITH ACCENTS, guys!"

)

ooh. I managed to install 1.0 and it really is a mess. the 1.1 ppa works fine as far as I can tell, but I'm still too late >_<

reosarevok: yeah, france too. "On ne peut que déplorer que l'usage des accents sur les majuscules soit flottant."

Freso: no idea, I just play a Frenchman on the Internet

context?

(I am a French native speaker, but I have lived in Francophone countries for about a total of 8 weeks. YMMV, etc)

Krystof: It is. :) E.g., "Kava, Aparima vava (Trad) D.P." - Kava is the title, "Aparima vava" seems to be the song/tune type, Trad. is the composer/writer, "D.P." seems to be the copyright notice (e.g., "SACEM P.1986" on the first track).

I've never seen it before, sorry

Krystof: The "D.P." only seems to appear on trad. tunes/songs, hence why I figure it may mean public domain. :)

(Also, the cover art on Amazon is wrong - don't upload it.)

adhawkins: "derp.co.uk" or was it.

Ah ok. That's not mine, just one I found for googling an image pastebin

aha

reoafk: Do you know if there's a way to tell worldcat that they have several entities for the same thing?

I basically want a relationship for saying something like "foo and bar were in this boxset" :P

nikki: the latter, very much

i agree

i wish we had a better way of doing it

but yes, a relationship the very least

i mean we did this for discs of a release earlier

before ngs

Yeah.

and since the compilation relationship is basically "recording foo / bar is recording foo and recording bar", then it makes sense to use the same thing for "release group foo / bar is release group foo and release group bar"

Once we get boxset support proper, relationships like that will help the transition.

Freso: well, I don't have a problem with them being separate release groups, I just want links between them :P

Freso / nikki: at the very least links between them yea

and I wouldn't want release groups for boxsets to vanish, I'd rather have a boxset release group type

and and oh god, some sort of edit to split discs up into several releases, especially for releases that were incorrectly merged in ngs

a reverse merge

hmm

if we had that, merges (that didn't smelt together discs, just appended mediums) could be an auto edit too

hmm

CatCat: NES \o/

merges are still destructive though, even the append ones lose all the stuff like release name, release artist, barcode, country, etc

i guess "merge" not smelt, but i am so used ot use the word "merge" for merge type dits that it doesn't mean "put togheter so you can't tell it was two distinct things before" to me anymore

lose all the stuff like release name, release artist, barcode, country, etc <-- this is a problem i think

Freso: yes

i don't know

Again, NES \o/

One of the features of NES will be allowing to undo merges.

git or whatever. the idea of ahavign "editions" or "versions" were yo ucan pick and choose of changed history and have the bits that are correct/seen as most correct /whatever

i am startign to like this idea more and more

CatCat: What does git have to do with this? :p

NES is based on git

Nice.

night199uk: haha, so i didn't remember completely wrong

erh

nikki:

wtf some other perosn with nitab

but when we implement nes, we *need* to also look at editing in general, be able to edit *just* a track, or *just* a title, or go i nand change only this disc title without havign to load the editor for editing everything

only load an editior for everything, whne one *wants* to edit everything

same with relationship editor

That isn't specifically tied to NES though.

no, i am jsut saying

AFAIK.

since edits and *doing edits* are linked after all

it is definitly damn slow and that is a part of a problem

as opposed to impolitely? :P

but i also think that beign able to just click "edit title" or "add release date" or whatever needs to be possible

but to do that you need hundreds of edit links everywhere

nikki: yes, because you're not just talkign aout of you ass, yo uactually know a lot about mb and it's inner workings

been here as much as me

nikki: then make it optinoal, sure no problem

I like the idea of clicking edit and editing stuff, I just dislike the sloooow implementation of it

heh, options...

and I never saw a problem with "houndreds of edit links everywhere"

the contrary for me

i miss them

ehm...

ok.. deprends on the implementation

oh hey OT. was the "end of the year" thingy report published?

you know with like "the guy with most edits" and how many rels are there now wtc

etc*

hm, why is there two artist [no artist] and [nature sounds]?

what

There should only be one of each.

yea i dropped out for some reason and i don't know what yo urefer oo sorry

btw, do i update artist credits or not https://musicbrainz.org/artist/3153a39c-bd35-40... * https://musicbrainz.org/artist/fc0a2eb1-249c-48...

I would change update them to Paramahansa Yogananda, but i'm not that familiar with indian culture :)

Freso: D.P. is indeed domaine public :)

'the voice of' sounds like someone just copied directly off the release rather than used just the artist name

alright

Freso: not domain publique ;p

any spanish knows what could be D.R. ?

maybe public domain in spanish ?

domain republic?

:P

Dominican Republic then CatCat :à)

edit http://musicbrainz.org/edit/20389527

CatCat: what is SRI ? like sir maybe ?

FTR, my D.R. edits http://musicbrainz.org/search/edits?auto_edit_f...

BTW CatCat the only release there is PURE SHIT http://musicbrainz.org/release/74a2bcec-ba5f-4f...

looks like total failure that could be deleted http://musicbrainz.org/user/saura/edits

jesus: Who's talking about "D.R."?

Oh, you were. :D

Right.

jesus: And what do I know about French. :p
