evelyn: et all. I know I'm beeing obtuse here but.. uh. why is not having durations on a vinyl release desirable? I mean...

I get that it's a bug that yo ucant remove those durations

that's a bug

but vinyl release witouth durations are a pita imho

and here. you say you're basing the release on another (later) cd release - that's where the durations coem from....

and it saves time connecting the recordings too... but the thing is. then those durations should be *valid* for that inyl. if they whren't, then that release shouldn't be based on the other release, those recordings shouldn't be te same as the cd ones

(I although totally agree that even with this, removing durations in tracklist (?:??) -> duration is retained after all = totally a bug)

I guess I'm just wondering *Why* you want to remov those durainos in he first place :D

CatQuest: no, this is independent of the recordings

even if you don't reuse the recordings it still uses the durations that were there before

yea because you use the *release* which has a tracklist, and the tracklist has durations

Let's say the half the tracks are 30 seconds longer (although the exact lengths are unknown), I reuse half the recordings and add new recordings for the rest. The old trackklist lengths still sit there.

It's not actually clear what is preserved when basing it on another release - to my mind it's only what I can see, and it's doing something behind the scenes that I can't see then.

example: https://share.riseup.net/#0MkMoFaTGiG4qdV4WivH1A https://share.riseup.net/#lkHk-8z_5V7yZz3O5Atoqw

(that's with the track lengths removed alternatively, let's say because they're all 30-43s longer each)

I'm not quite sure where that bug came from :/

bitmap: when you have some time, can you try to find it?

is that MBS-11125?

MBS-11125: Not possible to remove track lengths when basing on previous release where they are set https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-11125

Probably

(and related tickets)

Seems pretty new

aight lemme see

seems to still be a bug in v-2020-09-07 but not in v-2020-08-24, I'll try to bisect

I'll keep MBS-11114 and close the other two as duplicates. working on a fix

MBS-11114: Can't set track length to 0:00 https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-11114

Thanks!

Did I break it? :D

no, someone else :)

phew

who is responsible for the search?

When I do an indexed search, it finds a result, but when I do a direct search, it does not:

Yes, because direct search literally only searches the name

It's a last-ditch if indexed is borked temporarily, pretty much

so that's expected

where is that documented? :)

is direct still needed though now?

Not unless indexed breaks temporarily :)
