that modal may be a "search" modal tho, and you're not searching
2019-10-17 29011, 2019
darwin
and I guess you currently hit "edit" next to artists
2019-10-17 29021, 2019
darwin
and there is no such button for durations, and probably shouldn't be
2019-10-17 29046, 2019
reosarevok
You don't need to hit "edit" at all if there's only one artist, of course
2019-10-17 29058, 2019
darwin
like I said, most of my issues are kinda minor things where I have to scroll the page to do something
2019-10-17 29001, 2019
reosarevok
(although I sometimes do, because yeah, that's the only easy way to go up/down :p )
2019-10-17 29009, 2019
darwin
but they're so common that they take a lot of effort in sum
2019-10-17 29031, 2019
darwin
oh, a favorite hated one. add artist from modal. always have to scroll it.
2019-10-17 29009, 2019
darwin
and a bunch of space is wasted by annotations text box
2019-10-17 29003, 2019

I feel like I should state that I am aware that the release editor is a very very complicated and often nested UI, and that it's not trivial to create non-scrolling in every case

It's also a ball of mess :p

(hopefully will become less so with the React port)

forme, in the in-linesearch (like darwin mentioned having to scroll to go "next")
2019-10-17 29038, 2019

my pita is that ifi select something (eg recording to link to a work, a release ot lni kto a series) it doesnt remember where it was whne i try linknig the *next* one
2019-10-17 29013, 2019
CatQuest
i wish it did that. wish it evne gave soem sort of visual for those already "selected" for this edit (edit work and edit seris, or ad wor and addseries)
2019-10-17 29031, 2019
CatQuest
it'z the #1 reason I don't add stuff to series :o
2019-10-17 29050, 2019
CatQuest
imagine a series with 200 entries. you cant add thme in any kind of batch what-so ever
i was just saying that it existed, not that anyone needed to use it...
2019-10-17 29002, 2019
reosarevok
Sure :) I guess it might be good to off it in case someone is very actively requesting takedowns of places that link to illegal downloads
2019-10-17 29019, 2019
reosarevok
I think most often people off just so that nobody can link *them* to such downloads, but dunno :)

reosarevok what's you view on 'playlists' like itunes, spotify ones ?
2019-10-17 29048, 2019
Lotheric
should we add them to MB or not
2019-10-17 29011, 2019
reosarevok
I'd say generally no, because there's nothing differentiating my own random playlist from any other
2019-10-17 29014, 2019
reosarevok
At least in Spotify
2019-10-17 29024, 2019
reosarevok
I'm willing to make exceptions for especially relevant ones

ultimately, what would be a good way to do this would be to have a section/site that pulls from MB but that you can create your own "series"
2019-10-17 29015, 2019
iconoclasthero
then they could be shared, made public, rated, tagged, etc.
2019-10-17 29049, 2019
iconoclasthero
but only if it was reasonable to do something from that.
2019-10-17 29029, 2019
Lotheric
playlists are popular on spotify, ppl share them on reddit etc..
2019-10-17 29041, 2019
iconoclasthero
it also could be a way of directing traffic to a streaming site for revenue.
2019-10-17 29048, 2019
Lotheric
having public collections or series or playlists that ppl could share would be a plus for site trafic
2019-10-17 29050, 2019
Lotheric
imho
2019-10-17 29006, 2019
Lotheric
like Picard is bringing more ppl to edit on MB
2019-10-17 29016, 2019
iconoclasthero
thats how i got here
2019-10-17 29043, 2019
reosarevok
Lotheric: I absolutely agree with sharing public collections and whatnot
2019-10-17 29047, 2019
iconoclasthero
i think that is a blue sky kind of idea...
2019-10-17 29050, 2019
reosarevok
I just don't think they should be releases
2019-10-17 29000, 2019
reosarevok
And I'm not convinced they should be series
2019-10-17 29033, 2019
iconoclasthero
what about this: use the series bucket for now...see if the numbers start taking off and then go from there?
2019-10-17 29045, 2019
iconoclasthero
if no one uses it then it is moot.
2019-10-17 29014, 2019
iconoclasthero
otherwise, you can solicit feedback on the feature to figure out what to do with it
2019-10-17 29037, 2019
Lotheric
maybe it could be added to critiquebrainz (reviews and playlists)
2019-10-17 29049, 2019
Lotheric
and then integrated with MB (facts)
2019-10-17 29054, 2019
Lotheric
in the long run
2019-10-17 29007, 2019
Lotheric
just thinking aloud
2019-10-17 29010, 2019
reosarevok
So, the main difference between series and collections is that in series, everyone can see whether something is linked to one from the main page for the release/recording/whatever
2019-10-17 29014, 2019
iconoclasthero
what about looking at how goodreads does it?
2019-10-17 29030, 2019
reosarevok
For collections, that's not the case, you need to specifically go to the collections section
2019-10-17 29043, 2019
reosarevok
But then you can see it's in "10 best industrial albums", by reosarevok
