anyway, i think my point is well taken...if you were to put any MB UUID into any search field, shouldn't it, by definition be a unique identifier and thus call up the one and only one hit tied to that UUID?

I'm not sure what sort of overhead it adds to the search unless you can write code that would recognize it as a UUID first and then search just the UUID fields.
2019-12-09 34310, 2019
iconoclasthero
it looks like the MBID field already has code for recognizing what is and is not a UUID.

iconoclasthero: I wouldn't be fully happy with that solution because you know then someone will name themselves or their release with an MBID (that is different from their own)

if the solution recognized that it was a UUID (including MBIDs), and it searched only for the fields that contained MBIDs, then it would defeat the purpose of someone naming themselves or their release w/an MBID, wouldn't it?

case in point: we bought a new, good net for the volleyball court i play at at the state park. we had to lock it (and i just took it down for the winter) because someone stole the good net another group had purchased for the court they play on.

who steals a volleyball net and to what end? the volleyball net blackmarket?
2019-12-09 34315, 2019
iconoclasthero
it's top of mind since i did that over the weekend and was trading emails with the park superintendant just now
2019-12-09 34341, 2019
iconoclasthero
ok, point taken.
2019-12-09 34350, 2019

Their own volleyball court? To sell for cheap? To cover it with petrol, set it on fire and laugh like the idiot they are?
2019-12-09 34300, 2019
reosarevok
I could believe any of those
2019-12-09 34303, 2019
iconoclasthero
yeah, i tossed around those ideas...either way, it is now sitting on my back patio waiting for enough dry days to put it away for the winter (after the rain rinses off the sand from everything.
2019-12-09 34324, 2019

anyway, back to the topic on hand...

2019-12-09 34328, 2019
iconoclasthero
also, people would need to *know* that it did that and *then* namethemselves, etc., a MBUUID...which could probably be filtered out in the approval process?
2019-12-09 34328, 2019
BilleeKhoj
peopel aren't naming themselves wiyh an mbdi for the purpose of finding thme, but for the purpose of trolling

Yeah, my fear is someone names themselves after an UUID (it doesn't even have to be an MB reference, god knows what other UUID use they might be referencing) and then we can never find them

With picard 2.2.3, I can't seem to drag files out of the right-hand pane to the left-hand, which means I can't scan them and generate fingerprints. Is there an alternate means?
2019-12-09 34315, 2019

Leftmost: does work here, what OS?
2019-12-09 34350, 2019
Leftmost
Linux. When I drag to the left pane, nothing happens to the files under the release.
2019-12-09 34328, 2019

Have you tried dragging directly into the unmatched files entry on the left?

Is this on Wayland?
2019-12-09 34348, 2019
Leftmost
I have. And yes, it's on Wayland. I've tried dragging both the individual track and the release as a whole with no success.
2019-12-09 34356, 2019

I would recommend running Picard on xwayland. Qt on Wayland is not quite there yet, there are a couple of issues. This might be one of them
2019-12-09 34316, 2019
Leftmost
Yeah, running via xwayland seems to make it work. 🙄
